Just out of curiosity, have you thought about buying a used one? there's some good deals to be had.

I actually have. I've been looking at some Yaris's that are 2007 models but have only 25k or so on them, and are selling for $8k. I doubt I would be able to do a trade in, or get much for the Focus, but that would still be a fantastic deal. I like the idea of buying new, but those deals are very compelling and I might go that route.

that would be a very good deal with that little mileage.

Well I have been of many minds about my purchase, and I'm sure part of it is the fact that I'm able to pay cash and own my car outright, so I'm really focusing on making the right decision on my purchase. That and I'm enjoying the purchase process.

Between considering the Elantra and toying with purchasing a Ford Focus (don't worry, it aint gonna happen), it's very likely I'll be buying my new Yaris on either Friday or Saturday. I'm so excited, and greatly anticipating this potential purchase!

Okay so here's my question. For those of you who went with a manual Yaris, have you had any regrets? I'm seriously considering the manual for the fun factor, to save money on the purchase price, and to save fuel economy.

How is the manual transmission on the Yaris, is it nice and smooth? Does anybody ever get tired of driving one?
