I've had quite different comments about my sedan. Most people who check it out compliment its appearance outside and inside.

YEA, I think that most of those comments are directed toward sedans in general. But as far as sedans go the yaris looks really good going down the road

The yaris in sedan form looks good. Don't get me wrong, but I think I prefer the liftback/hatch better (for myself). The Sedan's got some great features, ie. the good trunk space) and I think it's a great looking car.

As for the sedan, I think it's harder to tell it's a Yaris when it's a Sedan though just because it loses some of the Liftback qualities when it's melted into the trunk at the back. It kinda loses the smooth grooves in the door, and the shape of the back, but maybe it kinda gains it's own unique shape too when a trunk is added.

My opinion is, that it starts to look like other sedans, and only when you look closely do you realize it is really a Yaris.

Not saying that it's bad, but if you're looking for something different or unique, maybe the Liftback is one option.

For me, i wanted a sporty car, so i picked 3dr hb, we dont have the 5dr hatch in the US anyway, even if we did, i will still go with the 3dr hatch. personally for me, I think the sedan, wagon, and 5dr hatch are family cars, 2dr coupe and 3dr hatch are usually more sporty looking and because a sports car doesnt need all the extra door, also helps in order to reduce the unneeded weight, as well as the transmisstion on the car, Auto to me are used as family cars, and manuals are for performance, like sports cars, the color too, red, yellow, such as the Ferrari's and some blue are mostly for sports cars ,silver, black, and white are usually for luxury cars, such as the M-Benz. it is just my opinion, for family cars they can be any color, but not red nor yellow, in that case, a family with a sporty color will not be a good combo.Yaris in the north American used to be called ECHO, but then TOYOTA decied to bring the new Yaris to the North America as the same name as known in Europe for many years, which is the Yaris, and in Japan Yaris are called Vitz, the Yaris Sedan in North America is called Bel** in Japan, i dont remember how to spell it. ANy way it really is up to the personal favor when u buy a car.

Toyota branded the previous gen Vitz as the Yaris (like the second gen) all around the world which was a hatch. The Platz sold in Japan was the bases for the previous gen N/A ECHO sedan as well as Oceana (Australia etc.)-although I believe it was badged as a Yaris (the sedan varient) in other countries...the ECHO hatch which was only sold in Canada (as far as N/A goes)was a rebadged Yaris/Vitz-previous gen. Yaris isn't new around the world as far as name goes, just new to N/A as far as name and car itself as we get the second gen like most other places.
Just a heads up!

Oh, the current Yaris sedan is based the Belta in Japan, you were close!!

Please correct me if I am wrong.

At first I did not really liek it, but over time it's been growing on me, especially since seeing them in the flesh here now. I would not get one myself, but if someone I know was looking for a small car, and absolutely needs a trunk, I would recommend it.

Looks about 100 times better than the Echo, and about ten times better than the Corolla. For me the iffiest aspect is the nose. The side view looks sleek to me.

I've never been a fan of sedans in general. In fact I was always convinced that I would never own a car (my last vechicle was a Chevy s10). When the time came for me to buy something new a small SUV was out of my price range and I've realized that a small pickup is very impractical. Thankfully I saw the 3 door HB and fell in love with it.
After seeing all the sedans on here I'm really starting to love it. The main reasons why I hated sedans was because I felt that they were boring. The more I see the Yaris sedan the more I realize how far from boring it actually is. There have even been a few times that I have wondered why I never bothered to look at the sedan when I was car shopping. However the HB really is the perfect size for me since it's just me, my partner and our jack russell terrier.

I wonder how that would work. I though about trying to buy a three door from canada just because of the tach. Could i buy it even though I'm in the states. It would probably have to go though all the same bs the same as importing a car from over seas. But if you live in canada and move to the states I'm sure you wouldn't have any prob.

Doesnt seem too hard.

A letter from Toyota looks like it would do it.

I love the look of my Yaris S Sedan, and guess I don't much care about what anyone else thinks.

I've had it for nearly a year, and still get a little kick when I see her in the parking lot after a gig. Nice car
