It's been a while since I've been on here... The Yaris is being passed to my daughter. I... Am getting this:

BTW... 109,000 on the Yaris with not one issue. Replaced battery and tires. Current tires are 195/50/15 Kumho Ecsta and are amazing.

You may not end up having the same track record with the Fiat. That said....Truly, Best of luck with the Fiat

. Possibly one of the best bang for the buck combinations of great handling in very tight corners and power.

With that kind of reliability what made you not just buy another Yaris?

Here's one reason I'd buy an Abarth:

If you're solely looking for a reliable car, then the Yaris is hard to beat. If you're looking for a car that's about as much fun as you can have in a vehicle, then the Abarth is the one to beat.

Nah, the answer to that is...

...Miata.

There you go! Miata wins hands down.

I wish the Mazda2 was a Miata wrapped in hatchback sheet metal.

Good question. I am struggling with this now. I have 133,000 miles on my 2008 and zero issues. I might just wait for the 2016's and get another Yaris.

The French made 2015s are as tight as a drum. Will one be able to say the same for the first year 2016s coming out of the 'Mazda' plant in Mexico ?

The only 2016 'Yaris' being built by Mazda as far as I know is the 2016 'Yaris Sedan' for the Canadian market, and will be marketed in the USA under the Scion badge as the iA.

Glad to hear that the French Yaris is well-built, as I plan to pick up an SE in late July this year. Sadly, I seem to get the impression that most of the "old-school" Yaris people don't seem to like the 2015 refresh (or 2012-2014) much, and would rather opt for other vehicles instead.

Very nice car to drive fun we had one at my other work as customer pick up and drop off car ...at least here in Canada the Fiat has a really bad track for warranty and other problems poor quality and not cheap either .

Gogogordy · 03-16-2015, 01:01 AM

Enjoy...those are sweet, warts and all.

*kimona* · 03-16-2015, 02:24 AM

Good luck with the Fiat; really fun little cars (especially the Abarth). But, unfortunately plagued with more problems than any other car sold in North America.

nookandcrannycar · 03-16-2015, 04:19 AM

Re bang for the buck, I meant purchase price wise re those two attributes (not taking maintenance and repairs into account).

I wonder how Sail Design is faring at this point with his Fiat 500 ?

He's doing quite well with it. No major issues (I just talked with him about this last week).

Well its smaller than the Yaris and has a 1.3 liter engine. (which is good)

But Im not sugar coating it for you. Those cars need more frequent repairs. More things go wrong with them. I hope you got a good one!

But you are always welcome to come back to the fold and buy a YAris if it doesnt work out!
