I am 28 from Puerto Rico..This is my Yaris

foober · 01-30-2006, 02:42 PM

I'm 52 years young. And with the gas thing ramping up I've been patiently waiting for a year for the yaris to become available in the usa. Glad I found this forum website. Great for information.

Ziv · 02-01-2006, 02:09 PM

25 and counting, ha ha. love my white yaris, in canada.

As I am readin' a review for Yaris, around my age is what Toyota is aimin' for next, 20-ish male who just start making money and buyin' car. They got me.

foober · 02-01-2006, 03:11 PM

Ziv, i'm jealous. Great picture. And Yaris3 picture is sweet as well. I'd love to jump in mine right now and take off with it. IF it were only here. Two months to wait.

Ziv · 02-01-2006, 04:34 PM

thanx, I understand that feeling of waitin' for it to arrive. Did you order a 3dr or 5dr? And I still don't understand why the Yaris in the state does NOT have tachometer, where all Canadian one has teacho.

I'm getting the 3 door hatchback. And hopefully a white one like yours. I'm still up in the air about manual or auto transmission. I'm ready to just jump in it and take off on a trip. Patience needed here. I've got a toyota tacoma now. But it only gets 20 miles to the gallon and it just eeks me to no end having to throw so much gas money into it.

Ziv · 02-01-2006, 04:59 PM

Wow, tacoma, no wonder you wanted a Yaris (for gas). Yup, I have drove to the casino twice(and back -- mostly highway) and drove down to downtown Toronto (just for the ride -- mostly local) and still have about 1/5 gas left. Which was REALLY good, consider I used to drive an nissian Altima and have to fill it up everytime when I came back from the casino.

nice cars, ziv and yaris3... some tinting would look nice on it...

and foober, patience little grasshopper :)... we waited 3 months for ours and its worth the wait...

flash · 02-01-2006, 09:02 PM

funny to see two white yari, one in the tropics and one with melting snow... WHAT ABOUT US IN BETWEEN!!! sucks about the tach and the 5 doors!

Ziv · 02-02-2006, 09:22 AM

It is a strange move from toyota. why would they sells the 3-dr and 5-dr in Canada while I heard they only goin' to sell the 3-dr and sedan in US? but then again, I heard that Canadian bought much more echo hatch than the Americans. maybe that's why..... I felt bad for you guys tho, I love my 5-dr. hehe.

why? · 02-02-2006, 10:05 AM

The Scion xA is why they aren't bringing the Yaris 5 door to the states.

Ziv · 02-02-2006, 10:53 AM

ahh. too bad.

flash · 02-02-2006, 10:59 AM

I've heard that before... but big deal. so they offer two cars with liftbacks and 4doors... that many more options for someone shopping in this category. they increase the chances someone buys a toyota product. it would be different if the car weren't already developed, marketed, and shipped all around the world and we said thanks, but no thanks for the Xa, will you make us a toyota hatchback... I know it's not YOUR argument, but I just think it's a dumb one... the yaris is more "toyota-ey" anyway. the scion is just marketed differently... still a cool car, but even if there's some overlap, you'd think there would be some who would prefer a 5-door Yaris who wouldn't buy an Xa.

Scudworm · 02-02-2006, 01:15 PM

I'm 25. Brought a Yaris because it's the perfect size. I like hatchbacks and the Matrix is too big. I need it to drive to work or to the subway station.

I've seen quite a few people who have stated they would rather have a Yaris 5 door then a Scion xA.

And frankly Toyota does not sell many xA's to begin with.

However I think Toyota still believes that Americans as a whole don't like hatchacks, and frankly there is plenty of reasons for them to believe that.

Having 3 hatchback models (4 if you include the xB) might just be too much for Toyota to stomach right now. If the Yaris 3 door does take off though, then Toyota might rethink that position and bring the 5 door over.
