Looking to buy a new yaris hatch!!

It really depends on your needs and your personality.

Can you love the car enough to not have power locks and windows? Remember you need to reach over across the car every time you unlock it MANUALLY just to let someone in the passenger door.

You have to train all your friends to lock the door themselves whenever they get out.

etc etc.

Haha, exactly...
Power door locks break / wear out and the power windows don't work well in the winter, I'd actually pay money to NOT have them.

I grew up with manual locks and windows, I don't even think about it. It's so automatic for me like flipping a light switch when you get into a room.


The only thing that bugs me on the Yaris is the rear hatch doesn't seem to have a pull cord that unlocks it from the driver's seat.. All of our Saturns have a pull cord for the gas cover and a pull cord for the trunk latch. As far as I can tell, the Yaris requires you to pull your key out of the ignition, get out of the car, and unlock / open it yourself.. Of course, I've only been on the test drive, so maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully there's a lever there somewhere that I missed..
