^that's a pretty good price for 2017 if you're talking about the regular Yaris and not the iA. There were only two in my whole city that weren't iAs and they wanted almost $18,000 for just the L trim! I'm sure the price could have been negotiated lower, but not $5,000 lower.
For comparison my 07(auto) sedan was $15,000ish and the bare-bones 08(manual) lift back was less than $13,000. |

My wife can't stand that front end, so we passed. She said, "it's so hideous that it's kinda cute, but still hideous." Haha! |

as of today there are only 22 2018 Yaris for sale on autotrader in the whole country and none anywhere near me and only 1 SE (the only model i would actually buy) with dealer pics displayed
hate the 2 tone paint and dont care for the grey SE wheels its not looking good so far but i will reserve judgement until i see it in person |

^^^ Front end is hideous. Two-tone paint scheme makes no sense. Those directional wheels in any colour are fugly... and the Bridgestone Turanza tyres are crap.

^^^ Oh, probably too strong, eh? Sorry.
Ummm... The 2018 design is not really my cup of tea. |

Haha, not too strong at all. I'm sure NY was just bustin' your chops lol.

I do agree with justanotherdrunk that when I saw the 2017 Yaris in person, it didn't look as bad to me as in the pictures. But then again, I don't really want to buy a car that "doesn't look as bad to me as in the pictures." Lots of people must like the whale/frog-like front end design or Toyota wouldn't have adopted it throughout their vehicle lineup. |

For very nearly the same price, you can pick up an iM, which has everything the Yaris SE does (minus the oddly overlooked fog lights - WTH Toyota?), plus lots of other things neglected from the Yaris SE - such as side-mirror blinkers, power-folding mirrors, stainless-steel exhaust tip, nicely integrated & attractive rear-bumper reflectors, Nice looking LED tail lights, Nicer climate control system, Nicer interior materials/features in general, larger cargo area, better suspension setup, color-matched shark-fin antenna, etc. etc. Last edited by Kalispel; 07-14-2017 at 08:02 PM. |

^^^ Minus the ground effects add-ons, the ugly spoiler, and the juvenile directional wheels, it's a very nice little car... and with dealer discounts and rebates, it will probably be cheaper than a fully equipped Yaris.
Wish it were available in basic trim in the US. |

Also, not sure what is up with those newer 'upside down' looking headlights. They look sort of weird to me. I'm not a huge fan of that directional wheel design either. I would prefer something like along the lines of the old Matrix XRS wheels. Those were SEXY. |

We have 3 trim levels available her in Australia.
Bqse model only has 2NZ-FE engine. Top of line ZR gets bi-led headlamps and factory alloy wheels. Thankfully, the Toyota Saftey Sense is optional on all trim levels, so you aren't stuck with it.
