Blenjar · 05-01-2006, 09:48 PM

Im pretty sure someone created a topic like this but.

Why did you buy the Sedan or lifback?
What are the advantages and disadvantages & your conclusion for future Yaris owners.

Make it clean and simple.

I am going to buy a LB in a few days because 3 doors is better then 4.

Not to mention it is all one car, which makes it easier to take everything out.

Sedans are for families, hatchbacks are for drivers.

I got the lb because I'm putting a wicked system in it and trunks are a b#tch to work with.
And the lb just looks cooler

i picked liftback because i am not the fan of the sedan.

I too bought the yaris LB! I like it better than the Sedan and it is also cheaper! So that means that I can spend more on accessories! ;o) Too bad I couldnt get it on Black! But that just means that I get to paint it the way that I want! LOL

yea that is true. You can even upgrade your sedan without hitting 15k excluding tax. Liftback you can upgrade it with the best pkg. and it still in the 14k. Try building it at this zip code. 98001, western washington where bill gates rolls at.

Uh, you might want to vote then so you can be the only sedan vote.

I bought the Liftback so I could store a lot of stuff in the back and drive my dogs around. If the Yaris only came in sedan I wouldn't even be looking at it.

Couldn't Agree more. Hatchback all the way. For : Storage, dogs, looks.... you name it. I see Toyota trying to promote sedan have big trunk, but blah-hahahahahahaaha. In-compareable to hatch.

Idjiit · 05-02-2006, 10:52 AM

Every car I've owned has been a station wagon or a hatchback of some sort. It's the only thing that fits my lifestyle - I wouldn't consider anything else unless I was buying a sports car specifically to track it with.

Goose · 05-02-2006, 10:53 AM

Definitely a liftback (or hatchback, as we old-timers call 'em). I've always owned hatches for almost twenty years now. Jeez, I'm getting old...

BensVitz · 05-02-2006, 11:07 AM

LB. Like another already said, it looks better and it's cheaper.

Ha ha, sedan sucks!

If this poll holds true for the rest of the population, then I'm afraid Toyota might me a bit disappointed with their sedan sales. Aside from the grill, it is an ugly lil, thing. Rightful heir to the Echo throne.

Hatch-back for sure. It is the most effecient use of space (I can even get my Pinarello in the back, no prob), and besides my hamster doesn't like riding in the trunk.

Don't tell me you have a Pinarello dogma!

ricko · 05-02-2006, 07:36 PM

Nope ......... Opera-Dura-Ace. I prefer the comfort, and stiffness of steel. This is probably the lightest steel bike ever made at approx. 17 lbs. Do YOU have a Dogma?????

no no no - no way I'm going to buy a bike costs more than a Yaris ;) And with a Dogma frame + DA and decent wheels...

I have a boring trustworthy Trek 5200 with Ultegra on some race lites... if it ever breaks - then I'll probably get a Giant TCR Advanced with the ISP... maybe get some lightweights ;)
