why are you getting yaris or got yaris - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

boxerboy · 06-05-2006, 04:49 PM

The price is right and the mileage. Being a toyota was the deciding factor. I will cut the cost of gasoline by at least 2/3rds. My truck and other car require premiun fuel.

-gas milage
-its an 07 it is only 06 :)
-looks cool
-reliability of a Toyota
-much much, cheaper that the Fit after all is said ( insurance, warranty, taxes etc)
-better looking than the Fit
-the extra cash for the RS model was worth it.

All of the above :)

Getting my yaris for an everyday driver to travel from home to work. I bought a used murano for my wife to drive our new baby around. So right now I'm driving her '02 turbo jetta. Gas mileage on the jetta sucks and plus it reccomends premium gas. If I use the middle grade gas, I don't get the gas mileage I would with premium.

I got my Yaris because I'm sick of status symbols and having more vehicle than I needed. I rarely had more than just my GF with me, and only picked my daughter up once in it. I might have had people in the backseat a total of 10 times...

To replace my last beater commuter car... Really enjoy the Yaris so far!

Besides, I still have my show cars to play with.

i think about yaris because i have vitz at home in japan. i also need something more useful than my sw20. i think about yaris or corolla for new car.

TrancosRt · 07-06-2006, 01:15 PM

I'm getting one for the many reasons.
A- Cool looks
B- Affordable (Part time worker, full time uni. student)
C- Really fuel efficient
D- It is the prescribed car for my needs: a great commuter car when most of my trips are done with only my on the car ;)
E- I'll be paying some more money for a brand new 07 car than what I pay for my old, used car. Seems like a great deal to me. Plus I got a lot of savings on my insurance recently, so the net expense on the c<ar will be about the same!

and last, but not least: I want too!

Yeah, the Yaris is just a better daily all together.

Modern day version of the Geo Metro and Ford Festiva if you ask me. What more can I say, it's practical and affordable to operate, which fits in with my daily driver work vehicle requirements.

Good selling point was the safety features ( for a subcompact car ).

Taking it back a bit further, it's a modern day version of the Ford Fiesta, which made in Germany.

Ours was a '79 Fiesta Ghia with a sun roof. What a fun commuter car it was. Used to "race" it up the coast from Santa Monica to Ventura (So. CA) to keep myself awake on the drive home from work. The Yaris LB is just as fun and handles better, and as a retiree I don't need to commute anymore!!!!

bulldogs2k · 07-10-2006, 01:10 AM

LOVE THE CAR! I drive it more then my S2000. Infact, I dont even think about the S while driving around town in my little bubble. another plus would be the cheap maint cost, and the car is inexpensive to mod!

The comfort of selling my baby was offered by a Gen 2 Vitz RS (2006 Yaris RS) because it offered the same positives, and also added much needed extra refinement, and a more upscale feel...

I also like the 2Box design of car, which doesn't seem to be the norm in Canada...

Ouch man, didn't know that was how you got hurt.

After being in an accident like that, what would your opinion of the crash worthiness of the Yaris, if you do not mind me asking.

In my accident, the 1992 Golf was unrecognizable, The way I was hit, no airbag or crush zone would have helped, and I personally believe they are a false sense of security. They help in certain instances, but there is no guarantee against serious injury.

Toyota crashed the Vitz head-on into a full size car and it fared well, that's enough for me.
