LB vs Sedan - Toyota Yaris Forums

MadMax · 11-15-2008, 01:59 PM

Wow, big surprise, everyone has a different opinion on the hatch vs sedan (yeah, I know in Toyota lingo it is a "liftback;" but in normal automotive terminology it is a hatchback).

I've driven both, a sedan as a rental car and now I won a hatchback. They are both nice cars but obviously different. I got a hatchback as we have a Honda Odyssey and a Jeep Wrangler, so I didn't need something to haul the family or large items around. I needed a small commuter car that was fun to drive and got good gas mileage (to offset the 15 MPG I get with the Jeep). I had a VW Passat wagon with the VR6 and 5-speed that was really a driver's car, and I do miss the fun of driving it; but it was time for it to go.

I think the debate between the hatchback and sedan is ridiculous, it's comparing apples and oranges. Both are great cars that fit different needs, and either can be mod'd to look and drive really cool!

Cheers! M2

And we call it the Yaris Hatchback (as is proper) here in Canada.
