Just traded in my excellent Rav for five door Yaris & agree with previous comments about being too low to the ground it means taking great, quite at home with the centre consul and road noise.
But if it is as reliable as my Rav was I will never complain.

For me, the Toyota Corolla has the best features, styling and bang for the back sedan.

Love my Toyota Yaris. It easy to part, has a available automatic and power steering. I bought the 3 door hatchback. The four storage compartments and 2 fold out cup holders are great. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out that I could take advantage of Toyota moving the speedometer to the center of the dash. I used the empty sloped down area behind the steering wheel to mount a aftermarket navigation system. I got 35 mpg highway new, with the Yaris loaded with stuff to the roof.

To all Yaris owners…….please have your seatbelts checked. I was in a frontal collision in our yaris and the seatbelt did not engage. I notified Toyota of this (after recovering..thankfully)….and received the royal run around. Only after reporting them to BBB and Consumer affairs, etc……I finally got an inspector to come out and check the belt……I took time off work…..and this joker pulled the seatbelt out a bit…..yanked on it hard and said “it works”…….so pathetic. I did not ask Toyota to pay for anything…..I only wanted them to truly assess the safety of the seatbelts. My family owns 5 toyotas……and will gladly be trading them in for a carmaker that will stand behind thier product!!! Be safe though….have them checked!!

Writing from Toronto Canada after a record breaking snow season here. This last weekend of March 8 I had to do 200 km in a snow storm that most people stayed home from. The roads were barren (alomst no cars). I was shocked when the Yaris I rented with all season tires performed on par with the SUV’s and had to see what others were saying. No joke, I think if you equiped that thing with snow tires you would be the most nible thing on the snow. Although, it was kinda scraping the bottom when I ran into deeper snow but the handleing allowed me to go 20-30 km faster than others. Oh, and the model i had was the hatchback. I doubt the model with the trunk would fare better.

I contemplated the Yaris in March ‘06 when I was retiring my 280K Volvo. It hadn’t hit the lots yet, and I ultimately decided on a 2004 Scion Xb. The Xb is made by Toyota and runs on the same 4-cyl engine as the Yaris. Expert reviewers had the same gripes with the Xb that you discussed: road noise, center-mounted guages, low clearance. As for the warranty, would you rather have a car with a warranty or one that was made not to break down?

What Cliffy forgot to mention as a major selling point (over the Corolla), is that the Yaris has an auxiliary jack, perfect for plugging in an iPod. And it even plays mp3 cds. My Rav4 only had a cassette deck, so you can imagine my excitement. An aux jack and cruise control, and I am one happy girl!

But. . . Don’t you hate cars anyway? Joking aside, hooray for new car! Maybe you’ll make it to the southlands a little more regularly. I’ll be interested in finding out more about the car, like snow handling etc as you drive it. Amanda’s car is reaching end of lifespan sooner then we would like and we’ll want to know as much as possible about fuel efficient options.
