By the same token, why wouldn't you invest another, say, 10k and buy a Bimmer? would be just as (il)logical.

Corolla in U.S. is built in U.S., while Yaris is still 100% built in Japan.

nostalgia . Fun to have a 2 door liftback again . We had PLYMOUTH Champ / DODGE Colt ( Mitsu ) liftbacks , a few FORD Festivas ( Mazda 121 ) , and V.W. Rabbit ( diesel ) in the ol' days . Might of left out few other cars . The ol' noggin ain't what it used to be .

Another note that base corolla dosnt really exist. Well it does but you cant just walk into any dealer and ask for one. If they have one its only going to be one and not the color you want. Point being no one buys a corolla with no power windows locks etc. They are out there just very hard to find. Id rather just have a deck out yaris for the same price as a stripped down corolla

Price, then looks, then mileage etc. With the money I saved on my Lil' Blue, i got nice wheels and can do some cool upgrades. The "S" had things I didn't want for more money. Corolla just didn't do it for me at all.
I had a ball park price then picked what looked the coolest and the rest followed nicely. Answer: Yaris |

A cool 2 door LB for less $ that's made in Japan, or... another Corolla (no offence to owners but around here it seems like 1 in 3 cars is a Corolla).

I agree that the Yaris looks "cool" and people turn around more when they look at it.
Corolla is more of a family car, older person car, more conservative minded. OK, tell me this, will the Yaris's motor last as long, since it's smaller? That also would weigh in my decision when having to chose between a 1.5 liter and 1.8 liter. |

we had 3 of those
with the 1.5 ltr. engine and the 4 speed manual . 1st a gold '87 , '85 in a cream , and then a red '86 just like yours . Before that '80 to '84 and a new 92 H.B. after . Good cars . All these were $125 > $1,400 used . All lasted 1 > 3 years and took a beating . Many were used for delivery . Fairly easy to maintain too .

When I compared the two cars there was about $2,7000 difference between the two. That is why i went with the Yaris.
