WHY do I want one so bad? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've seen this thread a few times and finally got the time to read through it. IMHO, the gas mileage part of the argument is an excuse. You don't need an excuse. You are a grown man who likes to trade cars. Nothing to be ashamed of. If you like the Yaris, and who doesn't, get it.
I had an employee that owned the Cobalt SS. At 20k, the little things started to go bad. The clips that held the front end on, didn't. The plastic in the wheel wells cracked and fell off. Every week, he'd come in with another compliant. I'm not saying that all GM cars are like this, or that your Cobalt will be like this, but I hear a lot more stories about small problems with domestic cars than imports.

I do hope that you can resolve this issue to your satisfaction. I stopped in my local dealer today and negotiated a new 3dr in Carmine red with MT- basic car for my daughter. Total price will be under 14k- out the door. Sales tax in my area is 7.375%.
I even got a Yaris World discount. She will be very happy and will be joining the festivities here soon. Good Luck!
