I completely disagree with this statement. Toyota has always taken pride in the fact that they build every one of their vehicles, from the flagship models all the way down to their bargin basement models, with the exact same build quality standard. Just because the Yaris is Toyota's least expensive car doesn't mean they cut corners. You may have found some inperfections with your car when you picked it up, but I'm sure there are people who find inperfections with their Avalons as well.

Yes, the Yaris is the lowest priced Toyota, but the build quality standard is the same as any other Toyota.

The one complaint I've seen the most is about thin paint.

Grampi's got it right: every once in awhile an error slips through, and no one is more embarrassed about it than Toyota. If you think quality is failing on Toyota, go look at some of the GM stuff on the showroom floor!

If you guys think the build quality and standards are the same on a 14,000$ car vs a 60,000$ car that's your opinion; not mine and we're all free to have our own opinions.

Saying that I should go and look at GM because Toyota is slipping in quality doesn't make any sense. I hold Toyota to high standards, I hold GM to none and would not consider a GM, Ford or Dodge at this time. You can't compare Toyota to those companies imo.

If you read my entire post you would see that I still think this is the best car in the segment and I never said that Toyota's quality is failing. You don't have to share the same outlook on the Yaris I do, but never, ever and suggest that I go to a GM dealer!!

Bottom line is; regardless of price; always thoroughly check over something you're buying before you take delivery of it or you could really get burned. If it wasn't for the superior service of my Japanese Sales advisor, we would have been burned on our Yaris.

I don't know of any Toyotas that sell for $60K, but I honestly do feel the Yaris is built to the exact same quality standards as their highest priced vehicle. Toyota simply does not cut corners.

There is a difference between cutting corners and using better quality parts and having higher standards/tolerances on cars that are three times more expensive than a Yaris. If you think a Lexus isn't a Toyota, then simply look on the Toyota Canada website and you'll see that a Sequoia lists for over 60 grand in Canada before taxes, freight, pdi or all options.

The Tundra, 4Runner, Highlander and Sienna can all easily come in over 60 grand after freight, pdi and taxes.

In your case the only cars Toyota makes which are over 60K are Lexus.

Yes there is a difference, but I don't the believe the standards or tolerences are any lower for the Yaris. There is a difference in the quality of some parts as you are paying a premium for the high end vehicles. For obvious reasons the Yaris isn't going to come with a leather interior or wood grain panels, but I'd be willing to bet the paint process is exactly the same for a Yaris as it is for a Lexus, as well as the quality control on the engines, trannies, electrical system, etc.

Thanks guys for all your help.!

I was thinking to check the car, but not so carefully, but now I defenelly will check it better. Now I can see there´s more complain about the paint, mmm.. thinking about that..

Thank´s for your time,I really appreciate that.

Hope you can understand me.

I have the complete opposite car model as you (manual trans hatchback), but I'm still confident that you'll enjoy it just fine. Definitely give your new car a good check before you sign off on it in order to prevent extra trips to the dealership later on.

Bienvenida a los foros!
