Gas mileage was mentioned above. I would have to say that is THE best thing. Plus, it's a Toyota. Can't get better than that.
Welcome. I'm sure you'll do just fine around these parts. Lots of boys who like to flirt. hahahaha.

Careful blacksan, wouldn't want to get flagged as "off topic."
Uh....this car is great. Um...it smells nice. And, it's new so there won't be 8 billion of them on the road, yet.

The Good is that it's a Toyota, a good price and does well on gas.
The Bad is that it's an entry level car. Make sure you check your car out thoroughly before you accept it. Look at it in bright light and go over it very carefully, looking for dents, chips, scratches in the paint. Then look carefully at the interior at the seams, fit and finish and for scratches on the paint, mirrors, lights etc. Fit and finish is a little different on every car and far from perfect, but look for major issues. Do not let them pressure you into taking the car until you look over it very carefully, much more carefully than you may think neccessary. Our first Yaris which we picked up had very tiny chips all over the body. Dozens of them. You could only seem them in bright light, by getting closer than a foot from the paint and then rubbing the spots which looked like dust, but were in fact very small chips or some sort of defective paint/damage. There was also a large scratch in the centre console which you could only see in sunlight for some reason. The Yaris they replaced this one with had an improperly installed dash. There was a gap of about 3/8" between the drivers side window, b-piller, and dash. You could see steel, wires etc in there the gap was so large. Our Japanese salesman was shocked that the car would come from the Toyota factory like this and thinking I could understand no Japanese he said to the Japanese service manager, "Do you think Toyota builds like this now?" Nothing is ever perfect, and with this entry level segment the standards are lower, so do not have unreasonable expectations for the car, but do expect for it to be properly put together, and make sure you meticulously look over every inch, because one you take delivery of your car you will not be guaranteed fair service. Do not assume that the quality inspectors at the Toyota plant or dealership have properly done their job inspecting your car. It's not their car and they will never care about it as much as you will. Scratches or scuffs which they may not see as a big deal, could be important to you. We also have a Yaris Sedan which is automatic. Even though we experienced a lot of inconvenience to get our car, we still believe it is the best car in the segment. I think you will love your Yaris. |

The one complaint I've seen the most is about thin paint.

Yes, the Yaris is the lowest priced Toyota, but the build quality standard is the same as any other Toyota. |

Grampi's got it right: every once in awhile an error slips through, and no one is more embarrassed about it than Toyota. If you think quality is failing on Toyota, go look at some of the GM stuff on the showroom floor!

Saying that I should go and look at GM because Toyota is slipping in quality doesn't make any sense. I hold Toyota to high standards, I hold GM to none and would not consider a GM, Ford or Dodge at this time. You can't compare Toyota to those companies imo. If you read my entire post you would see that I still think this is the best car in the segment and I never said that Toyota's quality is failing. You don't have to share the same outlook on the Yaris I do, but never, ever and suggest that I go to a GM dealer!! Bottom line is; regardless of price; always thoroughly check over something you're buying before you take delivery of it or you could really get burned. If it wasn't for the superior service of my Japanese Sales advisor, we would have been burned on our Yaris. |

It shifts extremely well and finds the proper gear at exactly the right time whether upshifting or downshifting... smooth, quiet, and responsive. The automatic is one fine transmission, and the gas mileage is excellent to boot! I have absolutely no complaints with the automatic tranny, nor do I have any complaints about the red paint... mine is great after more than a year and lots of freeway driving! |
