Goodbye Yaris! - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Toyota has no low end "halo cars" like the FiestaST or Abarth in the states. If they would have imported the 6 speed manual transmission IQ....I'd be driving one. All we get is/was the lame cvt. Neat car....but cvt only :-(

There's compelling reasons to bolt for the hot little Fiat (and Ford). Those who haven't driven one should.

The Fiat is shorter than the wheelbase of the Yaris. /pass

I absolutely love the looks of the Fiat, but I can't overlook the horrendous quality. I'm not mechanically inclined and I need a bullet proof vehicle. And thankfully, Toyota has yet to let me down.

Maybe it could have been the next Yaris...but my yaris gearbox is awesome!

So what is going on with the Yaris...

I know that Mazda is redesigning the "2" to look like a smaller version of the "3". Will the Yaris basically be a Toyota badged Mazda 2? And the Scion a Mazda as well?
