I've now seen three Yaris liftbacks around town other than mine. ALL were driven by middle-aged women.

Silver Streak S · 07-23-2007, 06:36 AM

36.....bought my Yaris to replace the 1993 Corolla with 192,500 miles. The Yaris will mainly be used to get me back and forth for my work commute. Also, it's a little funner to drive and has a nice sporty look to it. Finally, I could not pass up the price.

I'm 21 - I love it!!

I'm 62 years old, just bought my HB last week, and already have 400 miles on it. I also own a 2005Nissan Titan, and my wife drives a 2006 Honda Pilot. Gotta say that this Yaris is, without a doubt, the most FUN car I've ever owned. And I love the 40mpg that I get during my 20-mile drive each way into town.

tsportman · 08-02-2007, 04:28 PM

I'm 34 years old, and bought the Tsport after having owned a Yaris 1.5 Tsport and a Corolla 5 doors 2.0 d4d.
After the Corolla I wanted something smaller and more fun again, and since I was very pleased with the previous model Yaris, the choice was easy !

i'm 19 and i have no problem with middle aged women especially in my yaris

Hello, I am 33 and this is my first japanese car. I had purchased my liftback on 7-7-06 and just turned over 10k miles. The wife has new 2008 Scion XB. We both enjoy our cars very much.

Bredayaris · 08-07-2007, 01:32 PM

I'm 28.
In The Netherlands it's the most popular new car bought by senior people!

I have the Yaris 1.4 D-4d 90 bhp with 190 Nm, that's 71,82 ft-lbs.

My husband and I are 55 and 57. I love the styling of this little car. I also have a Plum PT Cruiser Turbo and a 2007 Chrysler Aspen SUV. We like the unique cars. This car had to speak to me for me to buy it and it did.

I'm 24 and just picked up my Yaris on Monday. I work for a wind energy company doing communications, public/gov't relations, and other research and analytical work.

I'm 47. Could afford any car up to $50,0000 cash. The one great thing that often happens in middle age is that you care less about being seen in an expensive luxury car, and besides, I'd rather put my money into investments that actually grow in value....cars are a horrible thing to "invest" in....I love my Yaris and couldn't be more happier. Spending thousands for a "fashion accessory" like a Hummer, or any car over say $20,000 is such a waste as far as I'm concerned....society is so worried about how others perceive them, having this need to keep up with the Jones, or better them...somehow equating standing in the community with what one drives....Shallow materialistic Americans, to be sure.

Consider this: Most Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvos, Range Rovers and more costing more then $60,000 are LESS dependable then our Yaris, so Why. Do. People. Buy. These. Unreliable Cars.??? Answer: Shallow materialistic insecure idiots seeking status, and the approval of their peers.

If I were to waste $$ on a fine Luxury car, it sure would be none of the cars listed above....I'd get a Lexus because it is the most dependable line of cars in the world, at any cost!

I completely agree. I need a car to get me from point A and point B and the yaris does it great and it's pretty stylish too for me. I don't need expensive-gets-way-too-hot-in-the-summer leather seats or anything like that

I'm a old fart but I love this car. East tx roads no cops hilly and twisty try to keep up.
