maybe the last new 2012 LE
I bought a new 2012 LE never titled full warranty with 2 years free service contract from a rural toyota dealer in Morristown TN .The car is automatic and fully loaded. I bought it around the last of may and am really happy with it.
I could not believe they still had new 2012 cars. They also had a new 2012 matrix and a pruis. |

It is beautiful, I love everything about it except it's not a Coupe! I am partial to Coo-pays! I have driven loads of cars & have owned quite a few, but the Yaris is just so cool. Love everything about the car, so glad I got my 2013 automatic Coupe! THANKS for posting the photos!

I was ecstatic to have found my new 2012 six months ago sitting semi-neglected on a dealer's lot. The 2013 models were everywhere and taking the spotlight. Siding with yougojay, I also only was interested in a coupe, so this purchase was a no-brainer for me.

I had a coupe with a five speed but really like the utility of a 4door automatic. Easy in and out access from the back seat easier access in my 2 car garage ,doors are not as long on a 4 door car and don't bang into walls and other cars. I really like the automatic since I have a bad knee and have problems with the clutch thing.

Yes, there are advantages to a 4 door as Ron mentioned, just like the looks (sportiness) of a 2 door. Had to have an automatic, did not want to deal with a manual anymore. Had a 1990 Red Corvette Convt. that I drove for 6 years during the Summer months in Chicago - It was a gift. Loved the way it drove (heavy & sporty) and the 6 speed manual transmission was smooth and fun. Also had a Mercury Capri Convt. that was a manual, put a LOT of highway miles on that sucker. It's just so much easier to not deal with shifting at this point in time...plus another person would not have a problem driving it in case of an emergency.
I learned to drive at an early age on both manuals & autos. 3-on-The-Tree's are pretty cool! Drove a lot of manual Chevettes, Camaros, a few Novas, even a few Citations & Celebritys - A Chevy Celebrity w/ a manual was pretty cool (really different as most all were automatics) Many VW's, A few Triumphs, many others. Back in the day, there were a LOT of Coupes from all the manufacturers, you don't see them that much anymore. Fell in love with the Yaris, so glad they made a Coupe, had to have a Coupe |

I can relate to scruffy, I am 66 years old and the reflexes just are not what they once were. I love manuals, and were it not for my bad knee I would still be driving one. I also fell in love with the yaris this is my third one.They really grow on you and there really missed once there gone. I had several VW beetles over the years that I felt the same about.

Scruffy!
I always call dogs 'Scruffy' if I don't know their names...ha!
Thought it was the perfect name for the car. Like so many others here, I just have been so darn infatuated with this car....more so than any other I have owned or driven for a long period of time. I am off work this weekend, this sucker is getting washed, waxed & vaccumed again! |

I am retired but if prices keep going up I maybe working again. lol. There is just something to be said about a little car like the yaris. I would bet there will be a cult following years after Toyota drops the line.

Congrats on your new purchase and you'll love the gas mileage. $35 for a fill up and over 30mpg even if you aren't trying is pretty good. When I bought my Yaris, I found out later it was sitting on the lot for 6-8 months. My guess is that the yaris and corolla are priced too close to each other and most are picking up the corolla instead.
