You would have to really like the Yaris, or hate the iM, to select a 2018 Yaris SE over an iM it would seem. The 2018 Yaris SE is only $400-500 less than an iM with the same transmission type, and the iM is noticeably better equipped, with better hauling/cargo room. The Yaris probably beats the iM by about a good 3-4 MPG or so though in normal city driving, and at least 1-2 better on the highway.

^^^ Doesn't the iM offer the 6-Speed Manual or the terrible CVT automatic?

I see what you mean though. From a pure price standpoint versus features/materials offered, the Yaris SE is seemingly trounced by the iM now that it is in Toyota's official stable (versus being a Scion bastard) - but key selling points to both cars could easily come down to very simple things like style preferences, vehicle size, exact transmission type preferences, and the like. |

I would suggest you drive the Honda Fit CVT for starters. I really wanted to like that car, so I test drove it several times. In addition, to uncomfortable seats, miserable handling (compared to the Yaris), and some low quality interior fabrics, the CVT was dreadful! The Corolla CVT is better, but I bought my father a new 2015 Corolla L because the 4-speed automatic performed so much better than the CVT. Now, unfortunately, all Corollas have the CVT. Too bad. |
