Got my Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

dandj · 05-02-2006, 10:11 PM

I bought my first Toyota today.

A pacific blue metallic Yaris sedan. I tried the liftback and it didn't fit, then tried a sedan and wasn't sure I had enough legroom.( completly stripped @ 13,395.00) I finally sat in a sedan with the comfort package (750.00 option) and it seemed to fit a lot better. As far as I know, the only seating upgrade in this option is the split folding rear seat but even the wife thought it sat better. Anyway I topped off the gas tank after only 38 miles and it only took .9 gallons to fill, so over 40 mpg!! I didn't think the dealer would top it off to well but I guess he did.
I'm sooo happy.

I do need to find a good aftermarket cruise control tho.

what do you mean it doesn't fit?? Like, not enough leg and headroom?? If so I'm over 6 foot and I have no problem fitting.
but that's just me

hey, i'm 6'0 tall and still trying to get confortable in my RSX. how bad was the LB yaris? do tell...

why? · 05-03-2006, 05:54 PM

I am 6'2" and built like an NFL lineman and I fit into the Yaris fine.

Man, you must be a giant to not fit.

I'm only 6' but it didn't seem to have enough legroom. I think it will be fine as I can rest my leg against the consel, and I just saw a cruise control on ebay for the 07 Yaris auto for 240.00 but don't know how good it is. Anybody know? www.rostra.com
I did notice in the brochures that the Yaris sedan is 2 inches shorter than the Echo, I wish I had those 2 inches, but would rather have the looks of the Yaris. On the echo I could jack up the seat and that is why I don't think the Yaris fit to good at first as I jacked the seat up and it moves forward also. With the seat down I have more legroom.
The lift back was in my opinon quite a bit less legroom as I was so dissapointed it felt that bad cause I was afraid the sedan would be the same and no Yaris for me.
I have gotten instructions on how to post pics but can't seem to get it right, but it is gorgeous!

i'm 6' and have more than enough room,
my friend is a giant dutchman at 6'8" with a fairly sturdy build, he is a regular occupant in the front passenger seat and he has plenty of room (but not a whole lot of room to sit behind him)

i've had 4 adults and one child in child seat on a 4 hr road trip-no complaints about lack of space
