I like the front but not the rear wish it was altered differently, looks more aggressive than than the current gen, I'll probably end up getting it when I do trade in my yaris, really want a manual

In 2013 or 2014 I plan on buying the Toyota/Subaru FT86A. Hope they don't decide to shelve it...

I don't plan on getting rid of my '11. I will keep it until it dies like all my cars.

they'll still be milking every bit of development time out of it then. I see the car being released in 2020.

If that's the best Toyota can come up with it would have to have the 84 mpg clean diesels and telescopic steering wheel they currently sell on Euro spec Yaris models before I'd buy one. No matter what the future Yaris models look like there will always be cool enhancement mods popping up.

I have an 08 but the 09 and 10 come with standard safety features such as side air bags. They should be a standard and not an option. I'm not sure about the 09 but 10 and up have ESC. In my opinion, all car manufacturers should work towards including the same safety features Toyota has implemented. Safety is improving without taking a hit on MPG.

I plan on putting at least 500,000 on my new Yaris.
If you kept track of maintenance, how much did you spend over the additional 173k miles. I try to keep track of all expenses except parking meters in an excel spreadsheet. I have maintenance, upgrades, gas, and insurance added on so I can figure out how much I'm spending.

I attached two spreadsheets from maintaining a prior vehicle and a current vehicle to give you an idea.

I'm planning on trading my '07 HB for a similar-year Suburban... Once gas hits $1.40 a liter and the dealers are desperately trying to off-load them.

It looks ok... but I like my current Yaris. Not one problem with it so far, so no reason to be getting rid of it.

If anything, I'm interested in the Scion iQ when it gets here. I like SMALL cars!

I'm planning to keep my Yaris for a MINIMUM of 10 years, unless something strange happens and I suddenly become a multi-millionaire.

My 2010 hatchback has only 2300 miles on it. I do about 4000 city miles a year. So I plan on keeping mine a long time. I have had my 1990 Celica for 20+ years. If my 2010 Yaris is totalled or stolen, Then I would definitely buy the new 2012 Yaris, assuming it is still made in Japan.

I always thought my 09 was a tad less aesthetically pleasing than the earlier models but now that these new ones are coming out I don't feel so bad. If anything I'll trade for a celica or ft-86... someday.

Not for at least a few more years. It hurts the wallet to keep switching to every new car that comes out.

I plan to keep my Yaris for at least 10 years. It would be nice to pay if off and not have any car payments. I have had a car payment for over 20 years. I had about 14 different cars in my life. I want to see how many miles I can put on my Yaris. I have confidence the the car will go a long way. So far so good. It drives great!!!

^What he said. Sorry, but redesigns do nothing for me in the long run. I'm at a point in my life now where the main focus is on value and substance, and not the typical American impulse-buying to gain fake status.

With that said I can tell you mine's been very useful and just as easy to maintain, so I refuse to hand it off until my situation changes to where I genuinely need something bigger and/or better. In the meantime it stays with me until one of us drops dead.

IMO the Yaris, as well as many other subcompacts, are overpriced for what it is in comparison to other cars.

When you spend 12-14,000 on a car... the difference in payment if you go up to a 14-17,000car is totally justified by the immensely better cars sold for only a little bit more - and features you'd pay extra for on Yaris is standard on all other cars.
