Gotta be about 10+ in my area(Penetanguishene/midland) and around 6-7 of those being 2007/2008.I would say 4-5 of those are 2 DR HB and only 1 or 2 sedans total.
Plenty more in the barrie area aswell. I stop and talk to the owners and ask how they like and all say they love their car and say they have had no major isues mechanically.All have zero rust and are not modified. I have yet to see a rusted out yaris anywhere. Too bad what they did to the front end with the new models. |

Off topic but I think Audis/Volkswagons are the nicest looking cars on the road. |

I happen to agree with you, having owned two A4s and two Passats, myself. All pretty much the same car, and a real pleasure to drive.
That's why it breaks my heart so much that VW's mechanical reliability has gone down the toilet in recent years. Sent from my phone with Tapatalk. Please excuse any typpos. |

Prior to my Yaris I owned a 2010 Golf. NEVER AGAIN.
Agreed that they look good. In fact I think they have the best design scheme of any mainstream auto company, but their reliability is horrible. Not worth it. Also agree that the current design of the Yaris front end is unpleasant. I much prefer the 2012-2014 front end design. To me the 2012 SE design looks almost German. |

I don't mind some aggressive lines in a body and they sometimes can look good, but the new designs are getting ridiculous

I agree as well. I love my car (2016 MY 2DR), but I always have mixed emotions about the grill. I wish they broke it up a little bit. I am going to switch my L grille out for an SE soon because the Piano Trim mesh look of the SE dresses it a little bit nicer. The only thing I don't like about the Golf is the squared off front end. I always liked the 2003-2009 front end of the GTI best.

In Malta where I live the Yaris/Vitz is quite popular. We have two choices from where to buy the car. Either brand new from the local Toyota agent, French made Yaris, or one can go at an auto dealer (which there are many nowadays) and purchase a Japanese imported Vitz.
Prices go as follow: The new Yaris is around 14,000 to 18,000 euros. Depends on the trim. The Japanese imported Vitz will start from 6200-7500 euros for a 2010 1.0L or 1.3L petrol and from 7,000 up to 9,800 euros for the preface-lift 3rd gen. |

Rarely see another Yaris on the road. I don't think the massive grille-work helped attract new customers. Plus, the car always gets such bad press... while the Fit gets glowing reviews. I just don't get it; after driving the newer Fit several times, I think the Yaris is a better car in so many ways! Honda promotes the heck out of the crappy Fit, and Toyota would rather the Yaris rust on the lot.

Not sure what the next 3-5 years holds for new product/styling, but at the current rate it looks like I will be buying another Yaris SE in 2020-2022 (an automatic version this time), if anything at all. Everything on the market currently, in the brand names that I prefer to stick with, is just not appealing at all versus my current Yaris.

writing from manila on my way to jakarta soon. yaris is the official taxicab of se asia. it was after seeing the hard use that they handle with grace, i decided that yaris was to be my only choice for a snowbird car.
