Fading Away

[IllusionX]

Cars get old and people move on. Back when echodrivers forum was popular, many people had very new cars. Now our yaris have aged and there seem to be many complaints about the 3rd gen.

Eventually I will also move on and get another car.

Not from me. I've had my car for a year now and I love it. Other than an idiot dealership installing their license plate frames without my permission and stripping out my front bumper mounting hole in the process I have had no problems. The car's been great.

As I've only been around for a little over a year I can't really comment on the "good old days" of Yarisworld but I do love this community and would hate if it "faded away".

I've had the same thought, but coincidentally was just have a conversation with my better half about it this week. Although there's no doubt I'll own other cars, I can't see myself getting rid of my Yaris. For what it's worth and how cheap it is to run/maintain, I see myself keeping it as a second/backup car as long as the wheels stay on...might even keep it after that lol.

I think the Yaris has had its 15 minutes of automotive glory and has now just been reduced to a generic econobox, when it first came out the hatch looked super sporty and for us older folks a nice looking sensible sedan option,fast forward a few years and the sedan and hatch seem to have merged into a one size fits all souless appliance. With 200K of bulletproof reliability out of my 08 sedan i certainly dont see anything in the current Yaris line that turns me on,

Really?=

Yikes! I had not seen that before. Looks a bit like the Yaris Hybrid R concept car, but I don't care for the bright metal around the Grill or for that matter the grill. Projector headlights are appealing but I can get those fabbed up for my 2009.

I haven't heard anything bad about 3rd generation. Not as exciting as competition maybe....but thats all.

^^^^^ This. The only negative I can think of that is not subjective is that the interior plastic scratches more readily and more permanently (mainly the dash) on the 3rd Gen vs. the 2nd Gen.
