What age are people here? Curious what age group is buying this car.

[JDE]

I'm 18 and looking for something that's affordable to get me to and from work, and has some style to it. I've seen good press about the Yaris (in Europe and Japan) for a while now so glad they brought it here.

[as400g33k]

I'm 31 and bought the yaris for the daily commute. Its been getting some good press here in Australia too. So Toyota might just have a winner in their hands. :headbang:

Cool so this car just came out in Australia too? Which versions do they offer and what do you have?

[as400g33k]

yup, it was officially launched on oct05 at the sydney international motor show. ours was delived on 22nov05 and have been driving it since. the model ranges from the low-specced 1.3ltr YR to the mid-specced 1.5ltr YRS to the high-specced 1.5ltr YRX. All are available in 3- or 5-door models. Ours is the 5-door YRS model. Here's a pic:

I am 21 and I am getting one for the same reason

[echo_hrs]

31...

I always loved the look and power/weight/economy ratio of the JDM Vitz (Gran Turismo), and the TRD options that are available for the Vitz...
My 2006 Yaris RS replaced my 2004 Echo (Vitz) Hatch RS...

People of all ages buy the Yaris. The oldest Yaris owner I have met is in his 60s.
Having seen the above pictures, I wish to congratulate the one who has bought echo_hrs' old car.

[as400g33k]

i agree with swng there. that echo is sweet! twin tailpipes, body-kit, spoiler, prolly some internal-mods too. i wont be disappointed if that echo came my way...

[UndefinedDesign]

I'm 22. Might even trade my SVTf for it... lol. Well... depending on what the aftermarket's like.

[swng]

So sorry to have made you recall the accident. Get well soon and enjoy your Yaris to the full!

[birdy]

do you have anymore pics of the blue echo?

I'm 20. Looking to get a economical and reliable car which I think the Yaris is perfect for. Hope to upgade it a little to personalize to my liking :thumbsup:

[ronbonzo]

I'm 53.:eyebulge: My first "small car" was a '71 Pinto (LOL). I've never owned an eight cylinder car.

Never!!! Wow, that's amazing.

I'm 26. I like small cars.

[foober]

I'm 52 years young. And with the gas thing ramping up I've been patiently waiting for a year for the yaris to become available in the usa. Glad I found this forum website. Great for information.

[Ziv]

25 and counting, ha ha. love my white yaris, in canada.

As I am readin' a review for Yaris, around my age is what Toyota is aimin' for next, 20-ish male who just start making money and buyin' car. They got me.

[foober]

Ziv, i'm jealous. Great picture. And Yaris3 picture is sweet as well. I'd love to jump in mine right now and take off with it. IF it were only here. Two months to wait.

[Ziv]

thanx, I understand that feeling of waitin' for it to arrive. Did you order a 3dr or 5dr? And I still don't understand why the Yaris in the state does NOT have tachometer, where all Canadian one has teacho.

[foober]

thanx, I understand that feeling of waitin' for it to arrive. Did you order a 3dr or 5dr? And I still don't understand why the Yaris in the state does NOT have tachometer, where all Canadian one has teacho.

I'm getting the 3 door hatchback. And hopefully a white one like yours. I'm still up in the air about manual or auto transmission. I'm ready to just jump in it and take off on a trip. Patience needed here. I've got a toyota tacoma now. But it only gets 20 miles to the gallon and it just eeks me to no end having to throw so much gas money into it.

[Ziv]

Wow, tacoma, no wonder you wanted a Yaris (for gas). Yup, I have drove to the casino twice(and back -- mostly highway) and drove down to downtown Toronto (just for the ride -- mostly local) and still have about 1/5 gas left. Which was REALLY good, consider I used to drive an nissian Altima and have to fill it up everytime when I came back from the casino.

[as400g33k]

nice cars, ziv and yaris3... some tinting would look nice on it...

and foober, patience little grasshopper :)... we waited 3 months for ours and its worth the wait...

[flash]

funny to see two white yari, one in the tropics and one with melting snow... WHAT ABOUT US IN BETWEEN!!! sucks about the tach and the 5 doors!

[Ziv]

It is a strange move from toyota. why would they sells the 3-dr and 5-dr in Canada while I heard they only goin' to sell the 3-dr and sedan in US? but then again, I heard that Canadian bought much more echo hatch than the Americans. maybe that's why..... I felt bad for you guys tho, I love my 5-dr. hehe.

[why?]

The Scion xA is why they aren't bringing the Yaris 5 door to the states.

[Ziv]

ahh. too bad.

[flash]

I've heard that before... but big deal. so they offer two cars with liftbacks and 4doors... that many more options for someone shopping in this category. they increase the chances someone buys a toyota product. it would be different if the car weren't already developed, marketed, and shipped all around the world and we said thanks, but no thanks for the Xa, will you make us a toyota hatchback... I know it's not YOUR argument, but I just think it's a dumb one... the yaris is more "toyota-ey" anyway. the scion is just marketed differently... still a cool car, but even if there's some overlap, you'd think there would be some who would prefer a 5-door Yaris who wouldn't buy an Xa.

[Scudworm]

I'm 25. Brought a Yaris because it's the perfect size. I like hatchbacks and the Matrix is too big. I need it to drive to work or to the subway station.

I've seen quite a few people who have stated they would rather have a Yaris 5 door then a Scion xA.

And frankly Toyota does not sell many xA's to begin with.

However I think Toyota still believes that Americans as a whole don't like hatchacks, and frankly there is plenty of reasons for them to believe that.

Having 3 hatchback models (4 if you include the xB) might just be too much for Toyota to stomach right now. If the Yaris 3 door does take off though, then Toyota might rethink that position and bring the 5 door over.

[hoahmaru]

I'am 21 and I just bought a White Yaris RS, coming in March 06.

[bs1001]

i'm 34, i drive a jeep right now. i have had 2 civic hatchbacks in the past.i miss driving a small hatchback. i really like the yaris, it's alittle more sporty looking than the fit, or versa.i love the bayou blue, and the black yaris!!! bs1001

[AngryBusDriver]

34 here, I bought mine back in November for the long commute to Toronto. So far it's been nothing but thumbs up. :thumbsup:

[newedgeperf]

I'm in my 40's and I am interested in the Yaris on a couple issues. I like a small hatchback, er , liftback (excuse me) due to the practicality. I also like the power to weight ratio. I hope it lives up to my expectations. It reminds me of my old VW Rabbit GTi.

[lappie]

Hi, i'm 41 and planning to order a White Yaris RS 5 doors in March. Sh** i can't stand my Accent anymore......:mad:

[vicpai]

......DREAM-COME-TRUE for me!!!!...I'm talking about the beautiful 150-inch-long, ultra compact LIFTBACK, not the "just-another-useless-boring" SEDAN, for the American masses who are clueless that SMALLER is actually better!! (only stupid people equate BIGGER with always being BETTER :rolleyes: )

My present car is a fully loaded 2000 LEXUS LS 400, and while I really love how smooth, quiet, powerful, luxurious etc. it is, I hate to drive it most of the time!!.....WHY, YOU ASK??...SIZE, SIZE and SIZE...I HATE :mad: it's LENGTH with a passion!!!! :thumbdown: Yeah, It's nice to take it to the park on a Sunday, or a nice jaunt on the freeway for pleasure, but the thought of circling round and round and round, trying to find a parking spot somewhere when I need to GET SOME REAL WORK DONE, sends SHIVERS up and down my spine!!!!.....Secondly, with gas prices hovering at $3.00/gal here in the LA area, and the the very distinct possibility that they will very likely go even higher in the near future, negates any pleasure I get from the "smooth-quiet-luxurious" ride!!!

......so I now have another commuter car, which is a "stipper" 2000 Geo Metro hatchback that I use for everyday commuting in this horrendous city we call Los Angeles :rolleyes: (read: parking virtually non-existent everywhere you go, half of all the spots are marked "compact", and roads are so congested, you're lucky to find any space at all to move :rolleyes: ) ....I simply am in Love with the Geo's SIZE!!!. At 149.4 inches length I get to park in those teeny tiny spots where 99.9% of all other cars simply have to pass up...I'm talking about those "quasi" spots on the street, where selfish people have parked so badly, so as to waste a ton of space behind and ahead of them!!! Besides that, getting 39mpg in the city and 46 on the highway, I also get to pass by all those gas stations, laughing and sneering at all those other people, each time they spend hundreds of their hard earned money to fill up their Ford Excursions!!

...OK, so what does this have to do with the new Yaris. That's exactly what I'm coming to. While the Geo is small, nice and fuel efficient, it's penalty box in almost every other way. First off, it's not very safe! Then, it's extremely noisy on the freeway sounding like a 747 about to take off, and finally there is it's performance, or lack thereof :rolleyes: ... With 3 cylinders, and ONE FULL liter of displacement the engine manages to make 55 horse power making it excruciatingly slow. Freeway merging is enough to give you nightmares for weeks to come (and mind you I have the manual transmission, which is significantly peppier than the automatic, which I simply cannot fathom how anyone drives :eyebulge: )

So, until now, there has been no real choice in the US, if you wanted a SUPER COMPACT, REFINED, RELIABLE and ECONOMICAL vehicle!! (note I said reliable, because people are going to jump on me and point out that there's the Mini Cooper and VW beetle...but as I pointed out, these are "non-Japanese" UNRELIABLE heaps of trash, which effectively eliminates them as choices!)

Now enter the vehicle that will replace my Geo Metro:
The amazing TOYOTA YARIS LIFTBACK, a 150-INCH-LONG fabulous, ultra-reliable, reasonably economical, amazingly SAFE (more on this later) vehicle, that has been so shrewdly designed, that it's 60 inch height effectively gives it amazing interior space!!! (headroom etc.), not to mention making it also very safe, because it becomes more "height compatible" in crashes with taller vehicles such as SUVs.....and all of this is attained, while still maintaining AMAZINGLY TIDY EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS!!! ONE WORD: SIMPLY AMAZING, and the answer to my prayers!!!....I'm just drooling all over this vehicle because there is simply no "negatives whatsoever" associated with it...it's an oxymoron of sorts: It's compact yet spacious, it's ultra-small, yet ultra safe!! ..Besides it's tall height, this is the first TOYOTA to be designed with their proprietary MICS (Minimal Intrusion Cabin Structure). First off, it got the highest score of any vehicle in the subcompact segment in the EURO NCAP frontal and side crash tests. Besides this, Toyota says the MICS structure is so strong that it has been designed to meet significantly higher internal Toyota standards, than the standardized tests!! They crashed tested it with a 2-ton vehicle (the weight of a mid size SUV)!!!

So, there you have it in a nutshell: Finally a FANTASTIC choice for those who previously had NONE!! (FYI, the upcoming Honda Fit and Nissan Versa do not come anywhere close to the Yaris Liftback in ALL of the above mentioned aspects)

...Oh, and I forgot, I'm 32 years of age :biggrin:

[why?]

lol, I had a friend with a auto Geo Metro. If you turned the a/c on, the car couldn't hit 55.

haha... had a girlfriend with a Metro once. it would scream on the highway. had to wait til you got off to continue any conversation.

33, have two corollas. 01 and 95 w/ a gazillion miles. I'm gonna have to retire it. Not that I need to though.

That will give us a good reason to call the Yaris refined; and that is why its fans are not limited to young people. In fact, a lot of middle aged people and seniors like it very much.

im 20 going to purchase a liftback manual. reason why: small car, stylist, cheap and affordable, im a short little girl so a yaris would fit me just right.

[Idjiit]

31, married to a 31 year old woman with two dogs. I work at home, so I just need something to replace our aging and un-dog-friendly Corolla. The Yaris is a good fit since I want something that I can load a lot of gear and dogs into.

[AutoTech1]

I'm 17 (one of the youngest on here, if not the youngest :-P), and am trying to decide if I should get a yaris in the near future or a used VW Jetta/GTi. Both cars are definitely different. The yaris looks really cool and fun to drive and it's priced really well, so that's why I like it.:laugh: I believe this vehicle may go mainstream like the scions. I have started to save up a down payment for which ever I choose from working while in highschool (2G's), so I don't know. Maybe I'll just wait a year or two though and see how the model does here in the states and keep saving in hopes of paying the whole thing with a big @$$ down payment while pissing of the dealership at the same time. :biggrin: ... BTW. I'm liking the absolute red color. That is sweet.

[St.Francis]

31, married, no children just a small dog. My wife is the luck one see has been fortunate to own three new cars including the '04 4Runner she drives now. The Yaris will be my 1st new car :thumbup: . She insists that I get rid of my Legend first........married life... :redface:

[YARISinWHITE]

I'm 31, bought this for my wife because it look so cute.

[Ryosuke]

I'm 27

[roundysquare]

i'm 31
married with twin toddlers
the wife drives the scion xb because the previa minivan is too big for her
the previa gets 20 mpg X 50 mile daily commute = a bunch of rich oil companies!:bs: :cry: :mad:
i'm debating between another xb or the yaris....xb easier to load the twins, yaris better fuel economy...like the looks of both:confused:

I'll be 27 in May, and really love little cars like my Yaris, the red liftback I just picked up today!!! :wink:

[dbaxter]

39 M, got it for milage and to customize the crap out of it with my son then in 3 years when he starts to drive I will give it ot him. Then start all over again with another one for my other son.
It will give us something to do together mod'ing it.

Its cheap and easy to mod and since kids like the small cars it will keep them away from my baby.

- 1988 Plymouth Reliant-K (L4 2.5L, auto 3spd)
- 1994 Eagle Vision TSi (V6 3.5L 24V, auto 4spd)
- 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE (L4 2.2L, auto 4spd)
- 1992 Volkswagen Jetta GL (L4 1.8L, man 5spd)
- 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE (L4 1.8L, auto 4spd) *AUDIO BOOM BOX! :laugh:*
- 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V (L4 2.5L, man 6spd) *BASICLY MODIFIED*
- 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R (L4 2.5L, auto 4spd) *HIGHLY MODIFIED*
- 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5s Extra (L4 2.5L, man 5spd) *The car I like the most... but a little expensive (32,000$ CDN with taxs)*
- 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier VL Ecotec (L4 2.2L, auto 4spd) *ACTUAL RIDE*

Yes... I like cars !!! :thumbup:

I actually slow down car's expenses for two years because I'm saving money to buy a new house. But I'm planning a new car and a new project in two years! :thumbsup:

... and I also partially own a 2002 Toyota Echo (L4 1.5L, auto 4spd) but it's mostly my girlfriend car, even if I pay for it most of the time... LOL :laugh:

[DonnyRebel]

I'm 50, an empty nester wannabe (2 daughters). I bought the Yaris for it's value. I bought an SSR last year and now that its officially a collector car, I needed something that got 40 mpg, cost under 15k, AND hold its value (to keep miles off my truck).

The Yaris is the only (new) car that fit that criteria. I could've bought an Aveo, but I know in 3 years it'd be a worthless piece of junk.........:cool:

At first was set on buying the Scion xA until one day coming across a Yaris banner ad while checking out Edmunds.

25.

Wanted a car to get me to Toronto easily, so I no longer had to bus it on weekends to see friends and when I was going to Toronto to see DJs I wanted to see when they are in town (at least once a month, if not every other weekend).

Wanted a car GREAT on milage, not overly expensive, and one that would last a long time w/o me needing to drop massive $$ on repairs and maintenance all the time. Wanted a car I could consistenly rely on and not worry about - one really well built

The Yaris (a TOYOTA) was that... and that I got a car that I fucking love how it looks and is so cool/cute was a massive bonus that has me even more in love w/ my choice of the Yarii! :wink: :drool: :wub:

I was tired of making high monthly payments for the S(even though I could have continued), and decided to sell her. Saving a ton of money with the yaris on payments, and a ton on gas too :wink: . Plus I graduate with my degree in a year and a haf, and with the money I'm saving I'll be able to get any vehicle my bog heart desires.:evil:

Give me a "Hell Yeah" if you bought this car and you are broke as f*ck, and still couldnt be happier!!!!:biggrin:

I, like many others in this forum, could have Lexus, BMW or Benz but we chose our Yaris for that Toyota quality that has brought them to the #1 car manifacturer in the world.... oh yeah... the price and MPG helped a bit to, can't pass up a good deal when ya see one

Sorry if I gave the impression that the only reason I bought the Yaris was money, because that is not the case. Its an awesome car.

[Yaris-TJ]

:thumbsup: I think some Yaris reviewers mentioned something true..Yaris is aimed for young people, whose buying capabilities are not are not fully developed, and when they get a better income, by having a great experience with a Yaris, they will buy Camry..

by the way i'm 27

[evilnissan]

I am 25 and I think this will be my next car.


As much as I want a Subaru it will be a smarter move money wise to buy a cheap, fuel effecent car until I get a more stable income.

Then there's this 55 year old who got tired of the 2005 TRD 4 dr Tundra and decided the right thing to do was give up the egocentric gas hog. Euro versions of the Yaris are better appointed and driven by adults with no plan to upgrade as income increases. In this house we're downgrading to an early retirement. The decision was work harder for a more luxurious car or do something fun and give back to my community....full hippy in a Yaris for me....
Just wish the bastards at Toyota would've let me buy a diesel!!

That’s awesome!

I’m 44. Don’t have a Yaris yet, but a Bayou Blue LB is in my very near future.

[theladybug]

I'm 27, and my YarisHB was actually my first "new car" purchase [had always purchased used cars, previously]. I will admit, price was a HUGE factor in deciding on this car. But so was a bunch of other things, like Toyota quality... or fuel economy... or how I'd always previously owned domestics and had TERRIBLE experiences with them [and who ISN'T owned or part-owned by GM or Ford these days?]...

...and well, principle was a huge part of it too - I like the way Toyota runs their business, and I think the princples by which they run their company (continuous improvement, respect for people) are admirable.

[boris13]

I'm 50... sold a Jeep Cherokee so that I can move "up" to a Yaris liftback!

[entreri_21]

26 y/o. This is my 4th car. Love it. 'Nuff said.

[Sabina74]

i'm 32 now but i bought the car when i was 26

[15thJuneYarisNamedHaris]

25! Quite relieved to see so many buyers my age or older as so many people in the Australian thread appear to have been born in the late 80s! Was starting to feel v old!!!

[kurokoma-kun]

I'm 33. I chose the Yaris b/c fuel economy makes me feel like responsible adult, while ease of modding suits the part of me that will never grow up!

[Nutzoids]

27... I chose the Yaris because it was the Cheapest new car I could buy, that wasn't a Hyundai... I HATE HYUNDAI... but anyway, Now I know I wouldn't of been as happy with a $20,000 as I am with the Yaris... I lucked out!

:evil:

[Imagine]

I'm 28.. Got into the import scene in '99 When I bought my '97 Civic Ex. It was a great car, I ended up selling it to my friend this winter and started driving my Explorer everyday. That got expensive really quick. I've always been a fan of the Vitz, and wished they were in the states. So I decided it was time to jump on the Yaris with gas prices being the way they are. I love this little car. Can't wait to do a few mods to the suspension and wheels, it'll handle like a go-cart. lol

[weaponrcamry]

I am 19 and this is my third car. Once I first got my license (16), my parents bought me a used 98 dodge neon rt. But at 70,000 miles the power steering went out and it was to expensive to fix. At the age of 17 my mom gave me her 2001 Camry le(auto)that was paid off. I started modifying it(a intake-->my screen name lol) exhaust, and tint was basically it. It had about 60,000 mile and I added about 9,??? miles on it. I was also saving my own money at the time working full time(18 yrs old) Once I graduated high school put my first down payment on on the car, and my parents paid for the rest. I only pay for gas and half of the monthly payments on the car as of now. Im glad I don't pay insurance cause it is a killer. I am now in college(full time), graduate in January 2008, and work part time as program assistant. I bought the car because I wanted my own car, not my moms camry(no offense, but camry's are for a mid aged crowd) the yaris looked just right for me. Not to girly not to boyish either. Just what a typical person like me was looking for. And it's a 5 speed whoo hooo!!!

[The Stig]

32 here, bought the Yaris LB for weekday commute...Figured gas won't get any cheaper, and I really want to retire my M Coupe to "quality miles" only...However, that doesn't mean the Yaris isn't fun :smile:

[MrJester]

23 here sedan just looks nice to me.

[ItalianYaris]

Im 26! But it seems to me the Yaris has a very young crowd of followers and fans! LOL. COOL!!!!!!

[SailDesign]

Im 26! But it seems to me the Yaris has a very young crowd of followers and fans! LOL. COOL!!!!!!

Well, some of us only FEEL young, but it really makes little difference. I bought the Yaris because I wanted a car that was fun to drive, and a new Yaris fit my budget as well as an older Golf. Now I wouln't touch the Golf anyway. As far as "upgrading" to a Corolla, you have to be kidding! Buy a boring "old-guy" car? I'm only 51 fer krissakes!

[Lickitung]

I'm 25 and this is the first car that I have ever purchased, my last vehicle was a gift from my parents when I started college. When the truck my parents bought for me died I knew I wanted either a honda or toyota since they are known for being reliable. My truck (chevy s-10) was always in the shop so I didn't want to deal with that again. The guys at toyota offered a much better deal than the guys at honda when I was looking at the fit, so I went with the Yaris. It was cute, reliable and in my price range.

[weaponrcamry]

I'm 22. Might even trade my SVTf for it... lol. Well... depending on what the aftermarket's like.

Oh their are some aftermarket parts. You just got to look at my sig.. To Get them. LOL

I wanted a small h/b

[Astroman]

I'm 26, bought my Yaris last year at 25. This was my first new car, 2nd hatch (1st was a dodge omni, slow, but could handle better than anything, and it got 35mpg), and my 7th vehicle overall. Got it to replace my dependable but gas guzzling '87 Chevy Astro van. I hate Kia and Hyundai, so those were no-goes. The chevy aveo just didn't do it for me and the mpg wasn't as impressive as I wanted. I needed something that got at least 35mpg and mazda just didn't have what I needed. I also wanted a Toyota for their reputation and my own personal experiences with the brand. I bought a '77 corolla wagon (deluxe 5-speed model with a 1.6L) for $80 at auction) and I would trash that thing and it NEVER quite purring. My mom also had a '81 corolla that had about 500k on it before she gave it away, and my grandmother always had corollas since '72. She swore by them and only owned 3 of them in her lifetime and none gave her issues. My uncle is still driving her '72 around. I also like how toyota has been working with hybrid models while GM was putting in essance useless hybrid systems out. I was planning on getting a xB, but the Yaris came out and had better styling and better mpg. I fell in love with it on the website, and when I went to the dealer to "win" one (sales gimick flyer) they had one on the lot and I bought it after a 20 minute test drive and the salesguy crunching the numbers. They were only going to give me $500 for the van, which was BS because the book value for trade in was $1,250 (it was low mileage and in pretty good shape for being that old.) So I sold it privately for $1,000 on the spot and the guy who bought it gave me the money w/o even sitting in it or hearing it run.

[Doug007]

Looks like I'm on the other end of the bell curve at 49. I've owned an Echo, but the Yaris is much nicer in terms of quality and I sure enjoy it on my daily commute. My wife drives Toyota's uber wagon, Sequoia. I get 41 mpg, she gets 14!

[churp]

56..and my daughter bought cheata fur seat covers for my Black Betty,and I'm very proud of them....never have followed the crowd. BB is only the 5th new car I've boughten. Tried to make a list once of all the cars I've owned and quit after half an hour...just not worth the effort. Japan took over the automotive world in the 60's and 70's as far as I'm concerned!!!

[kamenriderstefmax]

21~ This is going to be my first big purchase. The previous car was from my parents and I wanted to go with something stylish and dependable. I'll wait on my motorcycle for a couple of years, luxury comes second, performance comes first. hehe.

I got it for commuting as well. Had a 2000 jeep wrangler that I had for over 7 years. It was time for something new again and with a warranty. The jeep was starting to have problems.

[OtownYaris]

I'm 25 and traded in my '80 El Camino for a '07 MeteoRICE liftback :tongue:
Gas mileage and low overall cost of ownership were what attracted me to it. I chose it over the Honda Fit based on price, pretty much. I like the way the Yaris looks compared to the Fit, also. I was more impressed with the Fit but it costs more and mileage isn't as good. :burnrubber:

[SLIK4]

[falkor_99]

This is my 3rd car and I am 21. I had a 03 matrix, 05 camry, and now a 07 Blazing Blue Yaris. And it is by far my favorite.

[fantoma33]

I'll be 31 soon. I bought the Yaris this past Saturday to replace a 99 Jeep TJ that needed a lot of work. I didn't want to put any more money into the Jeep, was getting sick of buying gas for it, and wanted something brand new and reliable.

I'm still a bit sad everytime I pass a Jeep, but when it comes down to it I think I'll be much happier with the Yaris.

Some people complain that the Yaris is a bit noisy at highway speeds and that it doesn't accelerate fast enough, but it's a huge improvement over the Jeep. I had forgotten what it was like to be able to actually hear the stereo :headbang:

I'm 33... I think gas mileage was the big thing. Its one thing for me to talk about the environment and another to do it. I was driving a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe and I traded it in for a 2007 Yaris. I absolutely love the way it looks and my plump 6 foot 2 inch, 270 lb ass actually fits comfortably in it. And if I can get anywhere near the gas estimates this car has, I will be exstatic. :)

I'm 34 years old, and bought the Tsport after having owned a Yaris 1.5 Tsport and a Corolla 5 doors 2.0 d4d.
