I had the pleasure of playing with a yaris two days ago, and now... i'm on a Yaris Forum. We'll see where it leads, but me and a buddy are already making a mod list for it.

why? · 03-25-2006, 09:21 AM

Sweet. Welcome.

Those mod lists do grow quickly, don't they.

I don't think the Yaris has hit Texas yet, but I cant wait for it to get here! It gets so much better gas mileage than my WRX!

Welcome! Good cars are sold out fast friend! I cannot say the Civic is not a good car. In fact it is quite good. However, the Yaris is good too, and it certainly does not lack power. So please don't worry!
Compared with the Civic, the Yaris is slightly more fuel efficient and is easier to park. It allows you to sit higher and have a more commanding driving position(that is, if you like that kind of sitting position). Its fold down rear seats afford you a lot of cargo handling flexibility. Unlike the Civic, its look is much less generic. Park it next to a Civic in the street and see which one catches more eyes. Also, if it can be considered as the next generation Echo(I would so consider), it is a lot less prone to car theft(at least this is true in Canada).
I guess you can hardly go wrong with either keeping the Civic or going for the Yaris. You may also like to check out registration and insurance cost differences about which I know little. Cost differences are likely to exist though because the Civic is classified as a compact car but the Yaris is a sub-compact.
Just my humble opinion. Wish you good luck!

Hi Rel3elwitOutacoz, further to my last post, I would like to draw your attention to hoahmaru's post today in the "Canadian Members" thread. His views about the Yaris are similar to mine, and he has talked about the Civic too.

Hey all, I saw there's a lot of Canadians on here so that's cool. I have a 3 door hatch coming in April!! CHEERS FROM RED DEER!!!!

swng · 04-01-2006, 07:33 PM

Welcome! I think we have lots of Canadians here because we in Canada get the Yaris a few months earlier than our US friends.

Hi all, I just got my 5 dr Le on Saturday. Very impressed so far and I'm loving the fuel economy!! Here is some great info on Yaris. It's the only car I could find in this Lemon Aid guide that has a predicted Excellent reliability. It makes me feel very good about my purchase! =---->
