Sedans Arent So Bad After All
When I bought my 2009 yaris a hatchback was availible. In 2000 when I bought my ECHO I didnt have that option. I was stuck with a sedan. I really wanted a hatch. But now that I have one I realize that the sedan isnt so bad after all. With the fold down seats giving access to the trunk you can still get long items in there. I recommend the two door model because the doors are so much bigger. You can get much larger items in the interior that way. You might really be stuck with a four door since the doors are So much smaller. On my hatch I would really like to remove the rear seat and all some time. I just worry about resale value.

except when you have a sedan with manual windows/locks and can't install power locks/window control panel. definitely no room for it. :( well on the '09 that is...

No room for it? It's the exact same except for one has holes cut out with switches in them and the non-power doesn't have any cut-outs. You could just buy the OEM panel when you do your install.

Hm...interesting. I swear the '09 Sedan is different from the '07. I was looking at the interior of JumpmanYaris's '07 Sedan. It is pretty different from my '09.

Thats a shame for those who would want to install them. My (unasked for) advice is dont get those things because they only break and cost $$$$ to fix. It recently came to my attention if you have remote locks and your cars battery goes dead YOU CANT GET IN THE CAR! WOW!

Why wouldn't you be able to get into the car? You wouldn't leave your ign. key in the car, would you? I have had plenty of batteries go dead in remotes but I have always been able to get into the car. |

I have automatic locks on my Yaris Hatch. I have my battery die back in 07. Left an interior light on at the car park before going away on a one week vacation. I was, of course, able to get into my Yaris no problem by manually unlocking the doors with my key. How could it possibly be the case that you couldnt manually lock or unlock you car? Crazy thought.

Oh yea, I know where the cut outs near the gear shifter is. It's like right next to the e-brake. I don't know about using those because I have soo much wires already for my amp+sub and HU with bluetooth wires and USB cables.

I have an '07 sedan that did not come with a power package. I had Toyota install one for me (thinking it was going to be a swap with Toyota parts, but was not the case). They added the window buttons to where the cranks used to be, and drilled and added the buttons for the locks on the existing arm rests on the front two doors.

Sedans ARE awesome; I LOVE mine.... and I have arm rests on my doors lol
But, the only bad part about having a sedan is that you can't find cool after-market parts easily! |
