2009 Yaris Sedan vs 2009 Scion XD

[marcus]

scion is finally be sold in canada soon..

some TOYO delears are doubling the TOYOTA rebates ( incentives ) for their own DISCOUNTS . Ex. '09 COROLLA : $ 1,500 TOYO rebate , DEALER DISCOUNT : $3,000 . That's $4,500 off M.S.R.P. . So if $500 Rebate on YARIS in your region , a $1,000 Dealer Discount is feasible ( reasonable ) . That tells me there's room to play ( markup ) and sales are slow . You can take the bull by the horns in todays market . Don't ume the postion .

Ahh, that would be the Matrix, since it's titled as a Corolla Matrix...

Back on topic, I'd say base your decision on sedan vs hatchback. Which do you want?

I chose my xD over the Yaris because of looks, safety, power, and gas mileage.
The Yaris was lacking in safety and power in my books. The extra 20 something hp helps on highway passing, front and side airbags are all standard, power locks standard, and i can maintain 40+ mpg still on highway in +40F degree weather and no haggle pricing sealed the deal.

I purchased the Yaris. Will pick up tomorrow. I originally priced a sedan, MT, Convenience package. Drove it for a Night test drive. Brought back the next day and tried the auto with power package. I liked it better. So I bought it.

Got the Sedan with Auto Trans, Power Package, Window Tint, Floor Mats..... $14,920.00 plus TT&L.

Can I put car seat covers on the front seats or will they block the airbags?

thanks

If you put regular seat covers then it will block the seat mounted side airbags. But there are seat covers designed for the seats with seat mounted side airbags. I don't know where to get them though.

they ain't cheap .

I have the A/T Yaris hatch, my brother has the A/T Xd. The Xd will dust my Yaris, great power.
Also, the Xd has tons of goodies standard like steering wheel controls amongst many others.
My car was $14,160 vs. $16,800 for his Xd.
That's the main reason I bought the Yaris+ it looks more sporty too.
BTW, CONGRATS on the new purchase, well done!

I would have skipped the steep $1400 warr. Kinda kills the deal. Does it cover the powertrain, of just oil changes, etc.?
I got shoved into the 7/75k extended Platinum warr. from Toyota @ $659. He said it so fast, slipped it in his pitch. Sometimes I wish I'd not bought it, but time will tell...

You can always cancel it and get a refund for any unused months minus a service fee.

true if the car is paid for. if financing, that $1400 will come off the back end of the loan, not in the form of a cash refund. thats my recollection, anyway.
