Have ya missed me?

Hi, Folks!

I haven't been on the board for a good while. I hang out on a Corolla forum on another site now, since I am a "Rolla" owner.

I am really happy with my 2010 Corolla S that I bought June 3rd. I have 9500 miles on it already.

If anyone is curious about the difference in gas mileage between a Corolla and a Yaris, I have some data for you. I owned the Yaris from April of 2009 until June 3rd of 2010, and I kept track of every single gallon of gas that I ever put in the car. The overall average for the Yaris was 36.8 MPG. I have also kept track of every gallon of gas I have put in the Corolla, and the average MPG for that puppy is 32.7.

I probably drive the Rolla with not quite as much thought to conserving gas as I did when I drove the Yaris. I don't "hot rod" the Rolla, but I probably drive a little faster than I did when I had the Yaris.

The Yaris was a fine little car. It did all that it was supposed to do and then some. I just get these darn urges to trade, you know? :smile:

I am very happy with the Rolla, but I would be happier with a brand new shiny red Camaro SS six speed. :biggrin:

Thanks for the update Tom. I'm glad you enjoy the Corolla. I thought your daughter also had a Yaris?

The Corolla is a great car that is a pleasure to drive.

Thanks.

It is my son who owns a Yaris. He still has it and is still very happy with it.

I thought that your need to always have a new car has kept you broke most of your life. Having a new car is nice, however, trading in a car 14 months old is very expensive.

Hey, it's Tom!!! Nice ride but we know you'll be back... You'll soon be tired of your current ride (whatever it is) :wink: :biggrin:

Good to hear from you, Tom :smile:

Not rude at all. This IS a car forum, right? :smile:

I got that puppy pretty loaded. I got the moon roof and the JBL stereo with a six disc CD changer. I got the auto tranny, but I really wish I had gone with the five speed manual.

The sticker price was $20,705, and I paid $400 over invoice, which came to $19,312.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I just had CRI. Old people have lots of them.

Cool, sat in one today at the dealership not as great as I thought. Looks decent though :)

I avoided new cars until we got the Yaris. I'm used to it, but there are still things I don't like, most of them having to do with new cars in general, ie, working on them is verboten without a computer...

Not many problems with it, but it still feels blind (Volvo 245 for comparison), 3 years later I still hate the throttle, a bit nervous in the wind, stuff like that. Too late, I run my cars until they are no good to anyone else, so I guess I'll have my Yaris for some years to come. If I want a new car, I will build it myself!
