First-time Yaris Owner

[reeync]

After driving a beloved 1995 Geo Metro Hatchback for 16 years and needing a newer car (long story there), I got a Chevy Aveo...and learned to totally despise it. Couldn't wait to pay it off and unload it!!

Saw the Yaris Liftback and just knew this was somehow at least a distant cousin to my wonderful little Geo. In November (2011), I secured my loan, went to the dealership, and drove the 2010 5-door liftback I'd seen online. Liked the Bayou Blue color, the way it drove, and, for $13,800 (one previous private owner, 19,000 miles), bought it. Since then, I've been one happy driver. I hope it continues to make me happy, but I think it will.

I know I could have gotten a new car for a bit more money, but I'm allergic to the "new-car" smell (formaldehyde and other chemicals in the carpeting), so a used car was my only option.

Found this web site when the maintenance light came on, and I Googled for a solution. thanks!
