Very interesting. The review, and especially the pictures, illustrate what I was trying to explain on another thread re the white 2015 SE I saw at a Panera Bread a few days ago (low center backup light with 'black lip' along either side of it...and those wheels....:barf:...I really disagree with the reviewer about those wheels).

The interior pics look like YW member vrait's 2015 Yaris, not the white SE I saw.

I read most of the comments. Very interesting. Some of them are double posts. One or more of the comments = posted by YW member 2o6 .

Those goofy 16" "Batman wheels" on the SE would be the first to be go, in lieu of something more my taste, if I picked one up (in manual only). I'm sure some teenager would buy them on eBay from me. I would probably replace them with something like the Borbet type CA Silver painted 16" wheels. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=CA706381004S&wheelMake=Borbet&wheelModel=Type+CA&wheelFinish=Silver+Painted&showRear=no&autoMake=Toyota&autoModel=Yaris+Liftback&autoYear=2010&autoModClar=3-Door&filterFinish=All&filterSize=16&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Brand

Also, I wish Toyota would have put those rear backup lights on either side of the license plate or something, if not in the taillights. I like the lower black plastic trim piece on the rear bumper though, as well as the body-colored trim piece over the license (instead of the garish chrome).

I, too, hate the wheels. Ew.

.....and the pictures don't begin to do justice to how ugly those wheels are in person :eek: :biggrin:.

:laugh:.....While I was driving my 2014 back from Florida after the purchase, I kept reaching to put my diet soda/coffee in front of the corner of the dash...into thin air. Thank goodness I didn't let go of any of those beverages.
