Got a quote on a 2012 Yaris L 3-door (5-spd manual)

I'll get a corolla for that price. I'm sure yaris are more fun to drive, but not $15K.

the latest gen corolla is a gigantic disappointment in every way, and it gets worse gas mileage. And the Yaris now starts at $14k. The Corolla starts at $16k.

Yes, the gas mileage and price differences between the Yaris and Corolla were what convinced me to go with the Yaris. I ran the "cost of ownership" calculations between each vehicle, and the Yaris came out on top for me.
