trading my yaris - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Like .kevin. said, tC really is a fixed up Corolla.
I used to have fixed up Corolla and traded it in for Yaris.
I traded in Yaris last year for '11 tC.

PRO:
- Good price. tC MSRP was $19k when Yaris was $16k.
- Nice 18" rims.
- Roomy rear seats.
- Fairly good fuel economy. My average: Corolla=32, Yaris=38, tC=30.
- Stock exhaust sounds nice.
- Interior with '90s design and feel (Can be CON for certain people).

CON:
- I have a roof noise problem that I'm trying to get it fixed for 1/2 year... I'd never get any car with panoramic sunroof in my life because of this experience.
- Transmission is rougher than anything I had before. Sometimes even a clunk noise when shifting. Others have the same problem, so it's not just me.
- Rear suspension makes a light clucking noise when going over the speed bump. And I'm not the only one for this too and it's irritating.
- Camry engine is so smooth, it doesn't have any sporty feel.
- Huge blind spot over C pillar.
- Sound system is not as nice as it looks.
- Suspension feels like is just a stiffened Corolla. My fixed up Corolla had better handling.

It really is just a little sporty sedan with only 2 doors.
I'd recommend to wait for FR-S if you are looking for something sporty.

Do not trade in the Yaris... if you must get another car sell the Yaris privately, with rising gas prices you will get a good price for it. Hell my 04 echo with 260,000kms dealer offered me $1k for it, I got $3k for it privately within 3 days of posting it on kijiji.

I'm waitin on the FT myself.
