Yaris officially pronounced garbage by U.S. NEWS - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just traded my yaris for a 2015 corolla. I was simply ready for more room and more sedated highway cruising. the corolla is using an "old" platform and the same engines in all but the eco plus model. however, having owned a 10th gen corolla for 3 years, i can say the interior and NVH(even on the base model) is so far ahead of where it was its hard to believe.

using the same engines and platform for a long period lends itself to long term reliability/durability. my opinion is that the yaris suffers from having the most spartan looking interior in its class and a poorer than average noise/overall harshness intrusion into the cabin.

if I had not gotten the deal I wanted, I was perfectly fine driving the yaris for a long time because I trusted it to do what I needed for a long time.

still, I think with the next gen a better interior, a sheetmetal change, and a cvt that boast something like 32/42 will be a big help. imo, the platform and engine could remain.
