Facelifted 2015 Yaris Leaked

[trunkout]

that "SE ASIA" sure looks like a Corolla....

I want what we have just with the options I mention ...TRD spec Yaris with the optional 1.8 L ...2 door :)

While the 1NZ still does great mileage given it's 15 years old, the yaris would achieve better mileage with direct injection.

Yep...but we dont have to remove the intake and exhaust to clean the head. And we still do 115 to 120 mph.with a 17 flat quarter.

And as awesome as the FiestaST feels.. .how will the drive train hold in 250k miles? Is the bottom much different than the Yaris? I hope so...double the torque double the hp.

[428CobraJet]

I don't see any Mazdas with enough miles to tell if the Mazda route to heating the heads does away with the direct injection issues. Mazda seems to be the only company claiming a fix.

And...since you can tell the Mazda3 and FiestaST are both in my list, take a look at the mileage swings. Both have owners claiming 20mpg. 20.

I don't hear about Mazdas with tons of miles on them either....but I also don't hear about a lot of problems either....except of course with the RX series.

Ya know...sometimes the best tool ain't the sharpest tool in the box.

we have 2 mazda 3 2010 here.. both have over 65k miles (average usage here) and they have been problem free, thought, they are still on the old technology engine.

Apparently only the Speed3 had DI - and was problematic. But the new line of engines are way different. And it looks like the Germans are causing most of the alarm. VW Group and BMW. Making everyone question DI.

meanwhile. ..my Yaris keeps saving me money. :-)

Don't be ridiculous.

We're getting the styling but none of the other goodies Europe gets. If we did, we'd be looking at a $18-$20k Yaris.

I want the 6 speed

But we are getting the structural (and the like) and some interior changes that would be part of the 'bones'....seperate from transmissions, drive wheels, engines, power packages, etc which would be different in different parts of the world. I was looking most significantly at 3 things re this 'refresh'....for 2 things to remain (manual transmission and hand crank windows) and 1 to change (the light colored inserts...which I despise...on the comfortable seats). I can live with power windows if I have to....hand crank windows remaining = unknown ? One can always change the seats, but I hope some dark colored option (for the whole seating surface) is available. The most important of the 3, to me, is the manual transmission . Thank you so much for finding and posting the information .


When I plug in 5-speed manual and the keywords White, Silver on the cars.com link roxy1 posted....for the last couple of weeks...I've been getting (including today) 15 hits....two LEs are listed as manuals (wrong..must be automatics)...three of them are White 5 speed Ls, but two of those are 2012s and one is a 2013 (but listed as new). One is a 5-speed White 2014 SE. That leaves nine Ls, five Silver (three in Florida, and two in Ohio) and four White (one each in Oregon Tennessee, Illinois, and Florida). I'm winding up a trip I started on June 16th, and after leaving Washington state I was tempted to stop....in Oregon...and later in Ohio...and swap my Yaris for one of those nine. However, I decided to wait to see if the 5-speed manual would still be available on the 2015 USDM Yaris . Thanks again for providing this information . Some of roxy1's posts re standardization of Toyota's processes throughout the world, plus (last year) seeing (at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama) the level of robotics/automation in 2013+ auto manufacturing, plus reading the development article I found (link on the thread I started re that) contributed (among other things) to my thinking the 2015 is likely worth the risk. I'll have to sit in one though, before making a final decision (although, if I could find a 2nd Gen with under 24k miles on it...as one member recently did...keeping all the 'nooks and crannies' in my interior would be tempting). My 2007 was the first year for the 2nd Gen in the U.S. (I know, Canada = as a 2006 model), and the only negative was the faulty voltage regulator that was fixed in later models (2009+ ?).



Re one of your pics, the black seating surface and the USB (and AUX ?) next to the 12v plug would be features that would be just fine with me on USDM models.
