Lovin' that little Yaris! - Toyota Yaris Forums

It has been just over twenty-four hours since I took delivery of my 2009 base sedan in Flint Mica, and I am CRAZY about it! What a fun little car to drive!

I have driven 97 miles since the dealer filled the car up for me, and I have only lost the top bar on the gas gauge so far. I hope this is an indication of some killer gas mileage.

The car has pretty decent acceleration in my opinion. It has nothing like the acceleration of the Cobalt I traded-in, but that car had a 2.2 L engine with 147 HP. I believe the Yaris will do MUCH better on MPG.

So far, I am very glad that I made the deal, even though I lost my butt on the Cobalt by trading it in when it was only ten months old.

Here's a shot of my son's Yaris (Barcelona Red Metallic) and mine (Flint Mica). I bought mine four weeks to the day after helping my son, Wes, negotiate the deal on his. It was his first time to buy a new car on his own, and he wanted me to help him get a good deal.

I had never paid any attention to the Yaris before helping Wes get his, and I'm not even sure that I had ever heard of them. I was so impressed that I had to have one for myself.

That picture would work for my and my wife's Yarises, too.

No buyer's remorse, then?
