Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead - Toyota Yaris Forums

On Toyota's site

http://www.toyota.ca/cgi-bin/WebObje...2findex%2ehtml

Wait for page to load properly, then put your mouse over the sedan yaris and then the corolla. Less than 1000$ apart.

13,990 $ for the SEDAN yaris
14,835 $ for the Corolla

You get a bigger motor, bigger car, more comfort, more power, just about as good mileage per gallon, new model, and you get more when you eventually trade it in.

Don't get me wrong, I had a Yaris and liked it, but why not pay 845$ more for a Corolla

too bad in the US they don't sell it like that , but i see your point now.

Maybe my link didn't work...
try this one

http://www.toyota.ca/

then click on ENGLISH, then NEW Vehicles....let the page load... then put your mouse over each car and see the basic price for each model

Between the Yaris (sedan) and the Corolla, there is only 845$ difference.

Is there a bigger difference in price between these 2 models, in the US?

marcus · 01-26-2009, 12:08 PM

looks..matter.

Ashley87 · 01-26-2009, 12:12 PM

Why would I want a boring sedan that everyone in the world seems to own? I rarely see other Yarii on the road, but it seems that every other car that goes by is a Corolla. And bigger car isn't always better... Plus I love liftbacks.

Dorkinheimer · 01-26-2009, 12:16 PM

I love the Yaris too, but it's as if you could get a Camry for 1000$ more than a Corolla and you'd still say no....

ZING · 01-26-2009, 12:17 PM

Does the corolla have good aftermarket support? :s

i saw the canandian website, i believe you but it looks like the CE model starts off at 15,350 here even with manual

MadMax · 01-26-2009, 01:03 PM

Yes, there is a "cool" factor here.

Corollas are very generic, whereas Yarii are much rarer birds and therefor draw attention all over the place. I doubt you will ever see as many Yarii as you do Corollas; but the one thing for sure is that a Yaris will grab your eye much more so than a Corolla!

I like the smaller size of the Yaris.

edmcc · 01-26-2009, 01:22 PM

I liked the liftback and since there isn't one for the Corolla...

1. we just saved $845
2. it's not just another humdrum sedan.
3. "looks..matter" - marcus

Question: if you yourself have owned a yaris, then why did YOU buy it over that corolla? There's your answer right there.

why? · 01-26-2009, 02:09 PM

I've never see a girl do the "oh my God that is so adorable," dance over a corolla, yet they do it for my yaris.

Or, i could say it is about being different. There are a few hundred thousand corollas bought every year, and a lot fewer yaris.

It is also smaller, and that means a ton to me. And a million and a half reasons why I never even considered to think about actually purchasing a corolla.

Morgan · 01-26-2009, 02:18 PM

yaris is shorter to write at autox

Hatchback. Cost. Gas Mileage. Looks.
