Considering Yaris vs. Elantra

[auxmike]

Comparing a base level Yaris to an Elantra is like apples and oranges.
Seems like Corolla vs. Elantra is more like it.
Perhaps Hyundai has gotten better, but it's still a ...Hyundai!
Resale value drops like a rock.Sorry, but I love telling folks I drive a TOYOTA.
Also, I know three people who had TRanny failures (A/T) , one at under 36k!

The reason I'm comparing the two is because the Elantra comes with $2k in rebates. Currently I was quoted $15,183 for an Elantra compared to $16,520 for a Yaris with everything I want. The Yaris costs $1,400 more then the Elantra!

What I'm getting at is that I'm comparing the two due to the price. I'm finding it hard to justify the extra cost of the Yaris, but I'm still seriously considering it. I'm just disappointed by the higher pricing of the Yaris right now.

If you want me to compare the pricing of the Elantra with the Corolla I think we know where that would go. Ironically, I'm pretty sure I could get a Corolla for a bit more then the quotes I'm getting for the Yaris. It's a frustrating experience right now.
