Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead

Thats a car sucking in my opinion. No it wasn't my first car, no it wasn't my first slide, yes i did turn into the slide, and yes i did turn out of the slide, and no i wasn't on the brake. Horrbly unsafe suspension, cute little wheels had no grip.

Dude, that has very little if anything to do with the Corolla. In fact, the Yaris wouldn't have done any better. Narrow econo tires - it happens.

the 12" stock tires on the FORD Festivas ( Mazda 121 ) we had did quite well in snow and on ice . Was quite shocked at the way the 3 speed auto performed during the 1st ice storm . Slapped 4 12" studded YOKOHAMAs on a '93 4 speed manual FORD Festiva with great results until it was rearended ( totaled ) while waiting for red light to change during a wet snowfall . Never fails .

yup , it's another feeding frenzy . Shameful , aint it ? ain't what it used to be .

The corolla pricing in Canada is a bit of an anomoly. The new-gen corolla/matrix were released when the Canadian dollar was trading at parity with the US dollar. So the pricing was set at a fair bit lower than the previous generation. The Yaris was originally priced to be in line with the previous generation Corolla/Matrix. This has resulted in a much smaller price premium to get into the compact category of Toyota vehicles in Canada. Given that the Canadian dollar is much closer to its tradition levels (relative to the US). I expect that the next model refresh on the Corolla/Matrix platform will bump up the price significantly.

My Fox came with no passenger side wing mirror. That's a nod to building a car as cheaply as possible. My Yaris has one, so as far as I'm concerned I traded UP to the Yaris.

Florida is like France, you just don't drink the water, you drink booze instead. They put so much crap in this water, chlorine, flouride, etc,etc,etc. It is absurd.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Because I have at least three friends who have a Corolla. LOL!

That, and I think the Yaris is more sporty.

regarding the 1.5L engine being "extremely quick" i'm curious what you drove before you got it? ?

That's just it, it' extremely quick for 1.5L (assuming manual tranny). Also, the xA isn't a Yaris, even if the engine is similar, at the wheels it's a different story.

My last car was a 98 Civic Hatch, which was faster then the Yaris and return better fuel consumption. However, the Yaris was still quicker from 120km to 150km, but after 150km, the Civic was quicker. The fastest car I've driven was a Turbo Supra and the fastest car I've owned was V8 Cutlass Supreme.
