What did you drive before your '12 Yaris? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jamus · 08-17-2012, 02:25 AM

My '12 3dr L replaced my recently totaled 07 yaris sedan. I've had many more "manly" vehicles in the past but I love the yaris for mpg, comfort, and usefulness. Barring car accidents, I plan to keep this one for 20+ years and 400k+ miles.

My 2012 L 3dr Yaris replaced a 2007 Corolla CE (manual) with 114k miles.

1992 Toyota Aristo aka Lexus GS300 with a worked 2JZGTE, before that a 1984 Brock Commodore, before that a Holden LC GTR Torana.

Our 2012 Yaris replaced a 1993 Hyundai Excel which we sold in one day for $1,700 because it was in decent condition and had been well cared for.

I lol'ed pretty hard at that.

I used to drive a 2011 Corolla, before an icy road and a telephone pole ended that relationship.

I Used to drive a 2002 Ford Focus, part of Focus Fanatics, but once they changed the styling on the newer foci just was not interested anymore...I'll be honest, i was between a Yaris and Fiesta...Perfectly happy with my 2012 Yaris Sport

Previous Car...1990 Honda Prelude SI 4WS

Current Car...2012 Honda Civic EX

I am still trying to work my way into a Yaris SE 5 Speed...

I drove a 2004 focus svt before the Yaris. Loved the car but couldn't find a dealership/mechanic I trusted to properly fix the vehicle.

I just clicked on this thread re a bump up from the newest post and I noticed my previous post. I imagine that I had several windows open at the same time and had forgotten the end of the title was your '12 Yaris rather than your Yaris. My bad

Hey man, new here. I've got a '12 Civic SE Taffeta White as well. Why are you wanting to switch into a Yaris? Thanks

I only bought the civic manual b/c it was close to the same price quoted to me by my Toyota Dealer so I took the car with more HP, Class, similar MPG. I am averaging 35 to 36 a gal. with mix highway and local...I am still looking to save more gas without going hybrid.

Why Yaris?

...I live in Queens, NYC...and the civic is slightly a high profile car b/c there are a lot of thugs whom drive Honda's and hunt for Civic and Accord Alloys just to swap or resell in the black market....The Yaris is a lower profile car to me b/c most people in my circle doesn't even know such a car exist...so therefore I would like to drive a Yaris just to Dare-To-Be-Different. I have also owned many older Toyota and Honda cars before and I always felt that Toyota was just a bit more of a solid car but at the cost of the Fun Factor.

2007 Subaru Outback(still have it). Before that a 2000 Echo.

I drove a '08 Honda Civic Hybrid, before having to downsize to a '12 Yaris Hybrid. Will miss the Honda though as it was a nicer car. Unfortunately Honda does not manufacture a 'green' enough Civic to commute into London for free....
