[KUYZA]

Thanks guys for all your help.!

I was thinking to check the car, but not so carefully, but now I defenelly will check it better. Now I can see there´s more complain about the paint, mmm.. thinking about that..

Thank´s for your time,I really appreciate that.

Hope you can understand me.

I have the complete opposite car model as you (manual trans hatchback), but I'm still confident that you'll enjoy it just fine. Definitely give your new car a good check before you sign off on it in order to prevent extra trips to the dealership later on.

Bienvenida a los foros!

OH°! by the way...

Nobody here speak spanish? it´s just a cuestion.. I mean, is good to me this, becouse I´m learning a few new things,...or...Am I the only mexican here?

[eTiMaGo]

tk-421 is in Mexico... the rest of us are just gringos

[tk-421]

Yo hablo español. Todos los demás aquí son demasiado huevones para ni siquiera intentarlo.

hmm we need like a pre-installed translator built into these forums. No, you're not the only mexican here.. there are others and I've seen some threads in spanish too in the regional forums.

If you're worried about paint, you can do what some people are going to do, such as put additional clearcoat on it or do like I do and wax your yaris right away. plus, it'll look absolutely shiny and beautiful too. and there are other stuff out there to protect your paint. anywho, enjoy your yaris when you get it

Te pasas TK.. jajajajajaja

Haaaayyy ya extrañaba escuchar cosas así. jajaja.

SHERRY.. I´m going to ask about the clearcoat also.. you know.. And I need to see a good one, becouse here in méxico somethings (well a lot of them) are expensive and difficult to find them.. but i´m going to try.-

I'm half a mexican but my mom never taught me how to speak it. It was her "code" language to talk to my aunts when my sister and I wer little. They liked to gossip. Little did she know I can understand more than I can speak. But reading it? Nope. Not at all.

I'm a translator for a billing company. I speak spanish. and french.... and port.

The Good: It saves gas, has alot of compartments, awesome handling (good for the City) and it's comfortable too!

The Bad: It lacks options and is kinda pricey for the size...

The Ugly: The Yaris Sedan is actually a VIOS. : ( And oh yes, the steering wheel looks like a pussy. LOL!

Saying that I should go and look at GM because Toyota is slipping in quality doesn't make any sense. I hold Toyota to high standards, I hold GM to none and would not consider a GM, Ford or Dodge at this time. You can't compare Toyota to those companies imo.

If you read my entire post you would see that I still think this is the best car in the segment and I never said that Toyota's quality is failing. You don't have to share the same outlook on the Yaris I do, but never, ever and suggest that I go to a GM dealer!!

Bottom line is; regardless of price; always thoroughly check over something you're buying before you take delivery of it or you could really get burned. If it wasn't for the superior service of my Japanese Sales advisor, we would have been burned on our Yaris.

I don't know of any Toyotas that sell for $60K, but I honestly do feel the Yaris is built to the exact same quality standards as their highest priced vehicle. Toyota simply does not cut corners.

There is a difference between cutting corners and using better quality parts and having higher standards/tolerances on cars that are three times more expensive than a Yaris. If you think a Lexus isn't a Toyota, then simply look on the Toyota Canada website and you'll see that a Sequoia lists for over 60 grand in Canada before taxes, freight, pdi or all options.

The Tundra, 4Runner, Highlander and Sienna can all easily come in over 60 grand after freight, pdi and taxes.

In your case the only cars Toyota makes which are over 60K are Lexus.

Yes there is a difference, but I don't the believe the standards or tolerences are any lower for the Yaris. There is a difference in the quality of some parts as you are paying a premium for the high end vehicles. For obvious reasons the Yaris isn't going to come with a leather interior or wood grain panels, but I'd be willing to bet the paint process is exactly the same for a Yaris as it is for a Lexus, as well as the quality control on the engines, trannies, electrical system, etc.

I'd think that the paint on a lexus would be much better than one on a yaris since it's a more high-end car. *shrugs*
