Still looking for something... anything... wrong with the Yaris, nothing so far, better I don't expect anything.

My only complaint is the vagueness of the throttle, but that isn't likely to apply to an automatic.

rockserpv · 07-25-2007, 09:41 PM

Here in Mexico, its a new car.. It has been on the market for the last 3 or 4 years... but We think its a good car.. and very different from the others on the segment....

KUYZA,

Gas mileage was mentioned above. I would have to say that is THE best thing. Plus, it's a Toyota. Can't get better than that.

Welcome. I'm sure you'll do just fine around these parts. Lots of boys who like to flirt. hahahaha.

I like to flirt? Well, I do love the the ability to embrace the female form as I personally feel that only God could have created woman. Am I sappy, or just a realist?

BTW, DIMG, there is that something about you that is alluring to say the least.

death is my gift · 07-25-2007, 10:10 PM

HAHAHAHAHA As I was typing the above statement "blacksan" has already proven my point.

ChinoCharles · 07-25-2007, 10:22 PM

Good: Its not a Fit.

Bad: Its not a Maserati.

By the by, your picture is pretty.

death is my gift · 07-25-2007, 10:30 PM

Careful blacksan, wouldn't want to get flagged as "off topic."

Uh....this car is great. Um...it smells nice. And, it's new so there won't be 8 billion of them on the road, yet.

KUYZA · 07-25-2007, 10:33 PM

OH MY GOD!!!!... jajajaja

Definitively I like to be here.! thank´s for your comments I´m more excited now.

blacksan · 07-25-2007, 10:35 PM

I love this car! The folks here are also the best.

Is that ok?

sherryberry · 07-26-2007, 12:29 AM

yup people are nice and I have yet to see one idiot on the forums! wahoo.

voodoo22 · 07-26-2007, 08:49 AM

The Good is that it's a Toyota, a good price and does well on gas.

The Bad is that it's an entry level car.

Make sure you check your car out thoroughly before you accept it. Look at it in bright light and go over it very carefully, looking for dents, chips, scratches in the paint. Then look carefully at the interior at the seams, fit and finish and for scratches on the paint, mirrors, lights etc. Fit and finish is a little different on every car and far from perfect, but look for major issues.

Do not let them pressure you into taking the car until you look over it very carefully, much more carefully than you may think neccessary.

Our first Yaris which we picked up had very tiny chips all over the body. Dozens of them. You could only seem them in bright light, by getting closer than a foot from the paint and then rubbing the spots which looked like dust, but were in fact very small chips or some sort of defective paint/damage. There was also a large scratch in the centre console which you could only see in sunlight for some reason.

The Yaris they replaced this one with had an improperly installed dash. There was a gap of about 3/8" between the drivers side window, b-piller, and dash. You could see steel, wires etc in there the gap was so large. Our Japanese salesman was shocked that the car would come from the Toyota factory like this and thinking I could understand no Japanese he said to the Japanese service manager, "Do you think Toyota builds like this now?"

Nothing is ever perfect, and with this entry level segment the standards are lower, so do not have unreasonable expectations for the car, but do expect for it to be properly put together, and make sure you meticulously look over every inch, because one you take delivery of your car you will not be guaranteed fair service. Do not assume that the quality inspectors at the Toyota plant or dealership have properly done their job inspecting your car. It's not their car and they will never care about it as much as you will. Scratches or scuffs which they may not see as a big deal, could be important to you.

We also have a Yaris Sedan which is automatic. Even though we experienced a lot of inconvenience to get our car, we still believe it is the best car in the segment.

I think you will love your Yaris.
