@marble bearing:
Will check that when i visit showroom again. Hey in Riyadh, where do we find brand new yaris showroom? I mean, i visited the Abdul Lateef Jameel toyota showroom, but did not find yaris there. Corolla was the last level car there. Any inputs on this? I believe Syntax is from Riyadh, so he can pitch in. Let me know where should i visit to check out this car. |

Also tell me friends, in the price range of Toyota Yaris, is this car the best deal as compared to other company cards like nissan or mazda or others you know. If yes, then what makes you say that?

Hi Tom,
Let me share you my experience. I have owned a corolla and Yaris before then upgraded to RAv4. Toyota here in KSA is like NOKIA in cellphones. Resale value is Great! In terms of Yaris resale value @ 4year period..yess you can still hit the 50% depends on the mileage and condition. But I cannot assure the 50% resale at 5 years like the corolla. On all the Toyota Car category, corolla has the best resale value. Nowadays, the AT is easier to sell than MT gear. Since the implementation of Saher here in KSA, yes you are fine with the Yaris for long drive but not at above 140Kph as the body will waving with strong wind or passing a truck. With regards to the maintenance and since you're buying it brand new, you don't have to worry on it. You can perform the regular maintenance out of agency/showroom if you're budget is tight. You cannot compare the Yaris here to a camry or corolla. Engine alone has a big difference. A/C in YARIS is above above average compared to other car like Hyundai and other European brands. The Corolla cools faster than the Yaris during hot summer. Nissan wins the cool chill here in car category!. As you have mentioned in this thread that you're tall, I suggest you to do a test drive with the Yaris . Syntax can assist you on this. I am 6' and I'm fine with the yaris and still 2 clicks left on the yaris seat to move backward If you are aiming for the Yaris here in KSA. Don't go for the FLEET model, aim with the Y model or package as it gives you comfort features for few bucks. My 5 halala opinion... Quote:

@Ricepower:
That was great input, summarizing most of my doubts. let me go for the test drive as you said. I heard Rav4 came out with 2WD and it already available in the showrooms. It is costing the same rate as Camry. Whats your input on Rav4 by the way? Also, can you tell me which places to go for a test drive? i am new to Saudi, Riyadh, so don't know much of the showrooms. :-) |

http://www.fuelly.com/driver/ricepower/rav4 2011 Rav4 AT 2WD GCC Spec Model Code : ACA33L-ANPGKV Engine : 2AZ-FE Color : Blizzard Pearl (070) All I can say RAV4 is fun to drive! An elevation upgrade from my YARIS..Bigger and roomier compartment. It was a quick decicion with my wife when we are at showroom as I was aiming for the Corolla 1.8L engine. SR 5k above from Corolla 1.8L . It's perfect for a family of 4 plus stroller and groceries RAV4 is from Japan Plant as Camry is from Australia like Yaris. The Rav4 is closed to Camry and Furtuner 2WD(2.7L) in terms of pricing. Some people say in terms of price that: If you buy camry consider the RAV4 If you buy Rav4 consider the Fortuner Pricing below: http://toyota.com.sa/en/modelsprices.asp?model_id=7 Hope it didnt increase your confusion. Check where it fits your budget and your driving comfort Last edited by ricepower; 09-10-2011 at 01:03 AM. Reason: Links added |

fleet version has steelies and very narrow tires, no power windows and no cdplayer compared to a YX version, which has alloy wheels and a little bit wider tires, power windows, 60:40 rear seats and a cdplayer. |
