34 mpg city is all I have to say

bnther36 · 09-10-2007, 02:04 PM

I went through 3 brand new cars in 7 months so I know the frustration of loosing mega-bucks. It just doesn't make sense to drive something that you don't like. The Yaris is a good car. For the money, it is the best car I've ever purchased. But it's not perfect. It doesn't have the performance of my Subaru, it doesn't have the ride of my Camry but it DOES make me smile every time I fill it up

For me, the Yaris is a keeper (providing it makes it through the icey roads this winter). Will it be the only car I ever drive...No. I've always been an off-road driver so the Yaris is sort of scaring the people who know me. They're asking me how my mid-life crisis is coming. But I point to the mileage and remind them that the polar ice cap might actually be gone before we die. I drive the Yaris to help the polar bear but mostly to screw over the oil barons.

Glad you're keeping it. Who knows, maybe you'll find a mx-5 for a steal someday when you've got a few bucks in your pocket.... bucks you've got cause you saved so much $ on gas and reliability! LOL! I don't know how far I'll end up taking my Yari, but I'm always on the lookout for an MR2 or a miata for super-cheap as a pure track/autoX car. Just not my daily driver.

Oh and welcome back Tek... glad to hear you're enjoying your ride.

I know a lady who has a Miata, and I've quizzed her on it a few times (I was looking into buying one a few months back). She said she got tired of it very quickly due to the inconvenience of no back seat and so little trunk space. As a weekend car, they rock, but not so hot as daily drivers, from the sounds of it.

That said, the newest generation with the convertible hardtop is freakin' awesome for the price!

the miata is too small and looks ugly. as a mazda owner, i can confidently say it was the least appealing one of there cars when i was lookin. im sure the miata would be fun to drive, but the yaris is much more functunal. keep the yaris. and if your gonna trade it in anyways, the saturn sky trumps the solstice and miata. and rnt they comin out w/ a g8 at pontiac? wait for that THEN deside. oh and the chrystler crossfire is sweet but costs maybe 45k. if youve got the cash it would be the coolest roadster. still, i say keep the yaris.
