New 2012 Yaris Reveal Coming December 22! - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

s3la · 12-29-2010, 01:59 PM

When I drove the '11, I was thrown off initially because of the center gauges; but as time passed and I got more used to it, I didn't mind the set up at all.

The thing that was so weird for me was that I felt like I was sitting "above" the car because the lack of left guages naturally made the dash in front of the driver so low. Of course, i've been driving a '98 Buick LeSabre for the last 5 years, so driving anything but a tank feels odd.

But even though is different from what i'm used to, I have fallen in love with the Yaris 5-door LB.

As far as the '12 goes, I am overjoyed that it isn't a bubble anymore. I approve.

yes. every female i ever met had the same reaction to my black yaris hatch: "aw, thats so cute!"

the new one has less of the "cute" factor. i dont think that is a bad thing.

i personally do not mind the 2012, will i trade in mine for it? prob not, i love mine.

the only part i am not impressed with is how long it is (or how long it looks), a huge part of getting my yaris is the fact that it will fit in my garage with a set of stairs and my snowblower and powerwasher behind it. with a longer car i would need to find another place for this stuff.... and the fact i can parallel park my car in the garage, close the door and wash my car by hand in mid winter is also something i love and cannot do on my moms camry....

The yaris is no longer a tiny car :(

The new one is exactly 10cm (3,9'') longer than the current one. When it comes to the length of a car, I don't think that 3,9'' makes that much of a difference.

I don't think the difference is too much. But I like small cars too. Of course definition of a "small" car is a Civic or Corolla when in reality they are near mid-size size. America, so sad.

10cm will make the difference of parking on the driveway or in the garage in my situation.....

A standard garage will easily fit a full size car. Seems like you need a new garage.

i have alot of junk behind my car plus a set of stairs. a longer car will need a new place to store my snowblower and junk. my moms camry parks next to my yaris and fits great with a tool box infront of it.

The sedan will certainly live on. It sells just as well as the LB even worldwide. Actually, I see a lot more sedans than LB's.

Maybe its what you are actually looking for, but I have seen more LBs than sedans.

Here's the European model which may more closely resemble what America gets. Looks good!

NinjaPirate · 01-14-2011, 01:34 AM

That Euro's front looks 10x better. Hope Australia gets that one as well.

Time to trade in?
