Thanks for the welcome. Sorry to hear your waiting... i hate waiting for new ANYTHING.

I'm in Vancouver Canada and they seem to have lots of new ones in stock here.

We got a 2009 in metallic white (not sure the name of the colour but would like to find out as I need to cover some stone chips)

Trim I think we got an LE cause we have the 60/40 split rear seats, all the power options and alarm, ac and its automatic

Got it so my wife can learn to drive and I can use it to commute to work.

I decided on a yaris after doing some research on what was the best econo car.

Liked the Yaris over its competition (Honda civic, Kia etc) cause for the price range we were looking (4-7 thousand) this was the best value.

The car we got is nice, was used as a company car so almost new looking interior seats except for the drivers.

Only issue with it is the passenger side window will only go up with the switch on the drivers side but won't go down.... But will only go down on the passenger side switch.

So I am doing some reading on this forum to hope to figure that out.


*** the BIG thing that made me pick the yaris was that we were going to buy a high-mileage car and the yaris engine with the chain over the belt of the honda won out.

ALSO the HB was a must as we wanted a car that could carry lots of stuff but was still small
