What's after Yaris?

[caineroad]

So hey folks, I bet some of you bought the Yaris as your first car or starter car. What car did you guys buy after the Yaris? Or What cars do you have beside the Yaris? Let me know. I am looking at other vehicles now as I have been with my Yaris for 4 years and I think is time to change!

I've got a 86.5 Nissan Hardbody in addition to the Yaris to do heavy lifting when hauling servers and whatnot about. I'm planning to keep the Yaris until it falls apart, but in a few years I am considering buying a 2 door coupe to have as well, something like that Hyundai Genesis Track 3.8L just to have for fun.

First car was an old Ford Laser 1990.It wasn't a bad car.Next car was a used 2001 Nissan Sentra Sedan. I got it for 21 k first car I financed.I owned it for 4 years. Then got bored of it.It was dull as bat shit.Sold it (gave it to my bro for 2g).Then I got a Yaris 2007 model.It's been a great little car.I purchased this car for 21K.I also got a 1974 standard beetle for a project.But it was too much work.I got rid of it and now have a 1974 Vw super beetle.I am looking for a Datsun.Dunno yet but I love cars so maybe more to come.

Still have my Yaris, but I also have a 2012 Subaru Forester and a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick.

I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra V8, due to high gas prices it stays parked alot these days, but It's a great tow vehicle........This was right after I bought her, she was much cleaner back then!!

Then theres my 1998 Toyota Rav4, seen here at one of our NASA events when I use it as Pace-UV for our HPDEs and Races........

And yes my 1987 Toyota Celica GTS, one day it will return to the race track and be a kick ass racer again......

Unfortunately this is what the Celica looks like now, but the new shop is almost finished so soon she'll have a new home.......

4 years, you haven't even broke that one in yet.

A second car will depend on budget but i'm considering a second Yaris to do a "Super Zippy" build, but i still have a few k to finish paying for this one still only had it 3 years so far and well the mods are below.

Got the 2010 Yaris new. It's a daily driver for my wife. We both love to drive it.

In February, I traded in my 2007 Infiniti G35 for a 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatch.
The new accent is great. It's "Yaris Plus" - not sure how else to explain it.
However, I really appreciate spartan no-frills approach to the first gen Yaris.
The second gen Yaris is, well, dull as beans and tinny. The 2012 Accent is woody.

Okay, this is my first new car, ca. 2007. I have always tended to drive a car until it drops, and this one will be treated the same. I haven't seen ANYTHING out there that could replace my Yaris; lots of chirping and yelling about this make and that, but I have yet to see a reason to dump "my" car. I have never run short of room, I'm happy with it's performance, it still gets great economy, it is quiet enough, and it handles just great. What could I change? Reduce the power in the power steering, tighten up the throttle, niggly crap like that.

Otherwise, I am one happy Yaris driver....

I'm actually thinking about getting another Yaris.

[eTiMaGo]

My Yaris is slowly turning to a track-only car, so next year I'll be looking to buy something else as a DD... Something a bit bigger and comfier like an Accord, but old and cheap :D Almost got an amazing deal on an old BMW E32 7-series, but it fell through :(

[junorico24]

I'm actually thinking about getting another Yaris. You're getting greedy. I love the Yaris i plan to keep it for a while.How about a mazda 2 or accent?

What car did you guys buy after the Yaris? Or What cars do you have beside the Yaris?

1990 Toyota 4x4 pick up
1969 Datsun Roadster
1969 Subaru 360 micro sedan
1969 Subaru 360 micro van
1949 Nash Ambassador

I think I'm going backwards. :biggrin:

[Thirty-Nine]

Oh, well if we're talking about cars purchased after our Yaris:

2009 Suzuki SX4
1995 Suzuki Sidekick
2010 Suzuki SX4
2012 Subaru Forester

[why?]

I'm thinking of getting a sporty/ sports type car at some point. No idea what really anything from a first gen MR2 or 2 gen or after Supra, or a 240sx, or a 1st or 2nd gen awd eclipse, or I could go on. Definitely rwd or awd.

The Yaris is a great daily driver but I'd love a car I could have fun in and not worry about too much. Maybe finally do some sort of racing in.

Can't wait for your Model T!

[Viperoni]

Don't know... but it'll have a slightly larger engine and be slightly larger.
Something like Barber's Matrix, or an SX4.

I had too much space and mpg on the Yaris so I bought a Scion iQ :laugh:

[hoodlumcar]

Ironic timing, because I listed my Yaris for sale today after five years. It wasn't my first car, but it was the first car I ever bought new. What am I moving on to? Obviously, this:

By now you're all like:confused:, so I guess I need to show you the engine room, which looks like this:

Still going to miss the Yaris a ton, though. However, the extra 350 hp in the wagon should ease the pain...

Yaris was my first car bought new (prior cars include a 1997 Ford Escort, 2000 Ford Escort, 2002 Saturn SL2, and 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer). I'm not quite 4 years into ownership (August), and will have it for a few more years at least until it's paid off.

After that, probably something like a Hyundai Sante Fe or Mazda CX-5. At that point, we'll probably have at least one 2-legged child, possibly another on the way, and one or two 4-legged children (large dogs: wiemaraner and vizsla). So the larger vehicle will be needed to haul us all around, including luggage if we travel with the dogs at all.

Most likely it'll be the CX-5, especially if they bring the diesel version over. Talking with a local dealer, Mazda is apparently trying to make the diesel version be 40-50mpg capabale, otherwise they are probably scrapping the idea. I've been told that Euro version gets upwards of that.
