My '12 3dr L replaced my recently totaled 07 yaris sedan. I've had many more "manly" vehicles in the past but I love the yaris for mpg, comfort, and usefulness. Barring car accidents, I plan to keep this one for 20+ years and 400k+ miles.

Our 2012 Yaris replaced a 1993 Hyundai Excel which we sold in one day for $1,700 because it was in decent condition and had been well cared for.

I drove an '08 Ford Focus coupe 75k miles prior to the Yaris, and before the Focus I had a 2001 GMC Jimmy which I loathed for it's phantom electrical problems.
I'm happy to be out of the Ford, though it never left me on the side of the road it was leaking oil at 73k and had a squeal (that made it sound like a hoopty) apparently perplexed Ford techs for 45k miles. Now I have my Yaris, I love it, it feels very minimalist and has a lot of utility. |

I Used to drive a 2002 Ford Focus, part of Focus Fanatics, but once they changed the styling on the newer foci just was not interested anymore...I'll be honest, i was between a Yaris and Fiesta...Perfectly happy with my 2012 Yaris Sport

I just looked up the specs on the Suzuki and it had a 1.3 engine with 79 HP--- with the 5 speed manual and a gear ratio with a 1st gear that felt low AND the low weight, the car didn't feel underpowered. The car could never be built now (at least for the U.S. market). The mindset the car represents (in a good way) is kind of what Bronsin wished the market could go back to offering (in a recent thread he started). The people who replied to him I think correctly pointed out that it wouldn't sell---people wouldn't give up multiple air bags, etc. that exist in 2012 and do contribute to the car costing more. This may have been mentioned in another thread, but if so I didn't see it....I learned on Wikipedia the second generation Yaris will be sold in Europe as the Daihatsu Charade through the 2013 model year. Toyota owns 51 percent of Daihatsu and has decided that Daihatsu will pull out of the European market at the end of the 2013 model year. The second generation Yaris/Daihatsu Charade will be built in Thailand for the European market----see the link from footnote #24 from the Wikipedia article. More choices the European market gets that we in the U.S. don't, Argh! |

I drove a 2004 focus svt before the Yaris. Loved the car but couldn't find a dealership/mechanic I trusted to properly fix the vehicle.

I just clicked on this thread re a bump up from the newest post and I noticed my previous post. I imagine that I had several windows open at the same time and had forgotten the end of the title was your '12 Yaris rather than your Yaris. My bad.
