Are There Any More Good Cheap Cars? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Yaris won't be a rebadged Mazda2 Hatchback until 2017 model year - though the Yaris sedan (Scion iA in USA) in Canada is already a rebadged Mazda2 Sedan as of 2016 model year.

Even if gas is cheap (for now), I still enjoy paying the minimum absolute possible for it, regardless. I would rather spend the extra money, saved on gas, for something else.

The only problem I have found with my France-built 2015 Yaris SE was improperly installed little plastic air/dam pieces on the underside of front bumper edge areas, in front of the wheels/tires. The local dealership quickly remedied the problem, and installed them correctly. The only vibration/sound in the body during operation is along top of front doors/upper pillar areas (mainly on driver's side), on rough/choppy roads (which can be pretty harsh riding sometimes in the stiffer SE version at least). I'm going to get dealership to check out what can be done to dampen that on my next service visit. Other than that, my car is an absolute little GEM.
