What year Yaris should i purchase?

[ari1818]

Hello all,

I already figured out that im looking to buy a used firsthand yaris, but im not sure as to what year model to purchase.

budget wise - i can afford up to a 2005 model.

im looking to buy one with rather low mileage, as i plan on owning it for only 2 years then selling it back.

accordingly, id like any and all advice as to what year model i should prefer? id appriciate if someone could lay out the main differences (general, cosmetic, mechanic, preformance) between 2002-5 models.

thanks!
