Thinking about a new 2018 Yaris IA sedan ...

I had and loved a 2008 Yaris sedan. I've been shopping lately and really like the 2018 IA sedan with automatic. After watching some YouTube videos, I should be able to get 40-50 mpg. Very exciting.

Are you aware that the "Yaris" iA is not a Toyota but a Mazda?

Absolutely. But I think that's a good thing. It's a Mazda 2 if I remember correctly. All reviews have been great and I think reliability will be awesome.

Nice! Post pics if you end up getting one.

As for Mazda reliability being on par with Toyota...

Ha!

I’ll be making a decision in the next week or two. My main reason for getting the IA was because of the conventional auto transmission (as opposed to the CVT). I’m not convinced CVT transmissions are as reliable right now. I also like how it now has 6 speeds vs 4 on my 2008 Yaris.

Just curious what are your recommendations for the most reliable vehicle Toyota or otherwise. I need/want either a hatchback or wagon type vehicle but keep coming back to the IA.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I think a couple of the most reliable vehicles from Toyota aside from the Yaris are the Corolla and Camry. Outside of Toyota, the usual suspects from Honda are a sure thing.

Thank you so much. That's what I'm thinking as well. I'm doing more car shopping tomorrow and this weekend.

I understand your hesitation to go with a CVT, though they are getting better.

I was a huge fan of the mazda 2 hatch, but I think the yaris iA is one of the most boring looking cars I've ever seen.

Nice! If you can get a good deal then may as well.

The new NG Corolla 2019 hatch, 2020 sedan, has a newer CVT with torque converter for starts.

I hate this trend of putting a CVT in everything. Not that I'm in the market for a new car, but I'm quite disappointed that you can't get a Corolla with a normal automatic transmission anymore. Wonder if it will have an impact on Toyota's reputation for reliability. When I hear "CVT," I immediately think of Nissan and all the problems they've been having.

This engine has direct injection, which can carbon up the intake valves. Also Mazda automatic transmissions are not as good as the Asin transmissions Toyota uses. You’re probably get good use out of the car, but it’s not a Toyota!

dont lease just buy, ive had mine on a 5 year loan and its lasted through sitting and incliment weather, there bulletproof cars, dont lease, cause it will last forever esp with the 2018 having Nav and cruisecontrol and lane keep assist and comfeh seats and all that jazz, in an 18k car you wont find much else not even ford, in a more ergo layout oh and it uses the 1nzfe so you can get crap like JUN cams and do a 1.8 TB swap and still make 200HP in a 2335 pound car.
