Yaris vs. Corolla

[voodoo22]

When the price is that close it comes down to personal preference.

If you're driving mostly city, you will do better on gas with the Yaris, but on the hwy there will be very little difference.

my personal experience is that is quite accurate. my 5 speed 09 corolla gets within 1 mpg (highway/suburban type driving) of what my 5 speed yaris hb did on the same route and driving style. in strictly city type driving the yaris would get 2-3 mpg's better.

if the prices are similar, and it is corolla vs yaris sedan, the yaris has no advantage. the corolla is quieter and rides more comfortably and feels like much more car...and when driving a manual transmission (if that is your thing) the experience of shifting in the corolla is like heaven compared to the notchy shifter and bizarre clutch uptake of the yaris. however, if you want a hatchback and want the high mpg's, then the yaris hatchback is the answer for sure.
