Louisiana?
Any Yaris owners from Louisiana here?
I'm in Baton Rouge and I've only seen a few around town, 2 of which are in the parking lot at work. I've had mine since February and was just wondering if there were any others around here. RedStickHam |

Thanks for replying. I don't see many of them around here and of the ones I see, very few are hatchbacks.
I admit I bought mine on a whim because it was the cheapest brand new car on any lot in Baton Rouge and I needed a new car right away, since my other car was totalled when it was hit from behind. I've had it since February and I love it and plan to drive it for a long time. RedStickHam |

I've had mine 8 months now and I love it too. Great mileage, even in stop and go Florida Blvd. traffic, rarely below 30mpg. It's a great car and I don't want to give it up. RedStickHam |

Hi everyone!
Name's Jhon and currently live in the French Quarter. I just bought a 2010 Yaris (Black Sand Pearl), 3-door Liftback...its sweet! I am in the US Air Force and a Florida Native, so I do road trips back home to Miami Beach all the time. BTW, I bought the Yaris cause I was t-boned a couple of weeks and my Echo was totalled. I had her for 8 years and now she is gone. :( Oh yea, I got my car from Toyota of New Orleans, but since I wanted a "manual", they had to transfer the car from New Iberia to New Orleans...the salesman was like, "No one drives a manual"...strange comment. ;P Last edited by TEMPLAR; 05-01-2010 at 08:11 AM. |

I was able to find one with a manual transmission on a lot here in Baton Rouge. I admit I bought it because it was the cheapest brand new car in town at the time, but I like this little car. Mine is white, gray interior, gray pinstripes. My situation was similar to your's, except it was a rear end collision and I was driving a Hyundai Accent I had for 5 years and had paid off 3 months before. I used the money from that car to put a down payment on the Yaris. I also got a settlement from my injuries and put that towards the car as well, so it will be paid off within a year. I looked at a couple of Toyota dealerships here in Baton Rouge, and this one was the only with manual that wasn't equipped with everything. All I have is floormats, a sound system, 15inch wheels, and pinstripes. I didn't want one that was fully loaded, just wanted something to get back and forth to work in. Anyway, great to see another Louisiana Yaris owner here. RedStickHam |

Since I bought my Yaris a few weeks ago, I've seen about 5 Yaris owners around NOLA. And 2 of them (Silver and another Black), live and work down the French Quarter. I even raced with a WHITE Yaris on HWY 10 about a week ago...it was nice cruising thru Kenner. ;)
BTW, I did see a Yaris here in NOLA car wrapped in DOMINO'S PIZZA...it was kewl...too bad I didn't have my camera...next time I see him...I will have to take a pic. ;) |

I've cruised I-10 through Kenner many times. I used to live in the NOLA area and in fact, grew up in Kenner. I haven't been back that way in a few years though, since taking the in-laws to the Quarter. I'd like to see that Domino's Yaris, I bet that looks cool. Later... RedStickHam |

On Thursday, I spotted 5 Yarii on the way home from work, just driving down Florida Blvd. I saw a red hatchback, a black hatchback, a black sedan, and 2 green sedans. That's probably the most I've seen in one day. My wife refers to it as my "funny looking little car," but I like it all the same. RedStickHam |
