Does buying a yaris make you want another Toyota?

[punch]

this being my first toyota, i can see myself sitting in the new camry in the futre, nice work toyota, anyone else have these thoughts as well?

[Black Yaris]

Well we plan on staying in the Toyota family, we are planning on a Lexus for out next new car

[Chris07LB]

I see an FJ in the very near future. :biggrin:

[gabagooo]

I really like the new Camery. My brother has a 2006 Avalon, which is a very nice car indeed. So yes, I think so.

[eco]

Yes I do feel the same way,But I plan on buying the Yaris Hybrid when it comes out.

if you dislike me so much why did you bother to read/reply to my thread?

Punch: Lexus IS Toyota's Luxury Brand!!

I plan on buying a Toyota in the future, although I plan on keeping my HB Yaris for a looong time. I love the car!

Me too. I'm thinking of trading my Expedition for a Black Cherry FJ in a year or 2.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i can buy another Toyota in the future.

funny tho, buying a Yaris makes me want to see how far i can stretch its mpg. so when ever i can, i'll drive 55-65 on the freeway. but at the same time, it makes me want to mod it a little. lol.

eh, i'm not really into the FJ. my sis is, as for me, i would get the XRunner, if it's still around later on. either that or a Lexus IS/GS.

I think i mentioned it elsewhere, but before i got the yaris i was really inclined toward toyota, but since i got my yaris i have decided with my next car i will SERIOUSLY consider ALL makes. they just cut out so many things in the American version without really giving any of it back to the consumer...pisses me off. Def consider others in the future.

toyotas from now on. really happy with the sienna, and cant wait for our yaris. we'd consider hondas, but from our experience, hondas are sportier and more fun to drive, while toyotas are quieter and more luxurious. since we're getting a little older (in our mid-20s), we'll take the luxury end of the spectrum. both have been very reliable for us, so we highly recommend either company...

I was never a really big fan of Toyota before, more of a Nissan guy, but who knows what my next car would be... I'm not going to get hung up on car brands (ok maybe except Lada or other third-world crap cars), as long as the car itself is proven to be good.

[hasher22]

I got a toyota becuz my mummy wouldnt let me buy any other brands.....wtf!?

[nsmitchell]

Lotus Elise anyone? The ultimate commuter car and only around 40K! Decent mileage for what you get, and it has a Toyota motor! 22-29MPG is not too shabby!

You have to realize that there are several safety measures that any car coming to the U.S. needs to adhere to, and that jacks the price up. I never would have bought the Yaris if it was 14k with the options I got.

They offset the additional cost of safety devices by removing equipment.
I like my Yaris for what it is. Cheap, reliable and somewhat fun to drive.

If you wanted a lot of features you should have bought something else.

[bigsky2]

Next Toyota for me:

Supra MK IV Twin Turbo RHD

Why RHD? Because it's damn near impossible to find one in North America that hasn't been modded to shit.

I don't need a 1000 HP+ vehicle, it removes any fun I might have had with modifiying it myself.

[YarisGuy]

I have actually owned other Toyotas before the Yaris, I plan to stay in the Toy family for a long time :)

[ChinoCharles]

My next car is a Prius.

[daq421]

Absolutely, I'll stick with Toyota from now on.

My next car is a Prius.

I was looking at the prius, but the price was a bit high, and internet fear campaigns of the cost of replacing a battery in 5 yrs, made me look the other way

Here's my story

My dad loves Euro cars he has owned few Benz Porsche and VWs and we are 3 brothers and expences are not the same so he dicided to try out Toyota....
the result... He got a 2005 Avalon .... year later FJ Cruiser and Yaris Sedan....
His conclusion.... I can buy a $80,000 Benz (example) but I didn't I rather have 3 good cars for my family raher than one fat Euro car for me. Besides 3 great cars for the price of 1 euro.... priceless :thumbsup:

* Just for common knowledge here in PR some cars are way way much expensive than in the US ...... ex. How much does Hummer H2 cost in the states..... I think that less then 90,000 right? *

[Violin]

The last four cars I've owned were Toyota or Lexus. Do they still make anything else?

ahhh, i talked about in several other post but i'll reitterate for the last time. Dont get me wrong, its a nice enough car, didnt turn me off necessarily but def lost me as a committed follower.

First, they moved the gauges in the center, lets assume that saves some money. Second, they might save some money on drive by wire, ok, thats cool, i like them both well enough no complaint there, but something to think about

Side airbags are much less effective than in the Corolla and cost the same price--they are lacking the ability to go off in offset side impact collisions, and KEY dont have ]roll sensors[/B] so wont go off in roll situations. The combination of the two are statistically going to be the times where you want them the most.

The lack of seat height adjuster
lack of telescopic steering wheel function
lack of that gear indicator in guage cluster
lack of lack"]tach[/B]
lack of drl (without package)
you pay over 2k for power package WITHOUT keyless entry...clearly--wtf, that coudl have been added on for a damn lot less than 200 bucks.

all of that thrown in with the obvious things like cheaper plastics all around and the ULTIMATE crapppy speakers. and inability to get traction or ESC which frankly could be added for a couple hundred except then it would cut in on their more expensive model sales--of course some of us want to live but dont have an extra 5k money for an upgraded model you know?

so all im saying is that there was NO EXCUSE to leave off ALL of those functions. leaving of a COMBINATION of them out OK. but to leave off ALL is INEXCUSABLE. they cut out ALOT of features-- and if you want to get the CHEAP base model you lose power and radio and rear wiper and even more. So basically all those features i mentioned above were cut out and the money was pocketed by Toyota, then to give you an even cheaper option they cut out even more. Those things i listed were not cut and then then discounted from the total price and given to us. A combination of those should have been put in and im sure will be in the years to come, but i will certainly not forget the plethra of cutbacks made--but, like i said, doesnt turn me off, just makes me much more aware of others.

And yes, i should have looked for a company that was more interested in taking better care of comfort for their consumers, instead of taking all those small cutbacks for themselves...but its my first car :P i didnt know what i was doing. Dont get me wrong, im an avid yaris fan, just recognize the facts of what was done is all, and it was pretty dramatic and clear.

also
It does have its upsides, its got some moderate safety features, though the crash test are scored WITHOUT head trauma included (so side airbags would only have a minimal affect on them) indicate that safety is not exactly its greatest strength here in America. It does have the Aux plug which i LOVE. and it gets great mpg if driven conservatively. Niice emission functions, not real comfortable to me but thats my own problem, looks cute, pretty on inside, so i mean, it has some ups.
but i wont forget.

You WILL have back problems in a very short amount of time driving that car everyday. Although it would be great fun to try.
