Does anybody in the US actually have a French Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bmn · 08-04-2014, 11:26 PM

I heard Toyota was supposed to be importing from France since last year, but I don't actually see any French cars for sale. They all seem to be made in Japan.

So, does anybody here actually have one that was made in France?

Don't think US get the french made Yaris... I do have one here (holland) :)

Too bad most parts from Japan are incompatible for the french yaris when it comes to transmission etc

nobody will no the difference unless they look at the country of origin.

I have driven a buddies rental from Enterprise. And if you go on Ebaymotors.com, there are quite a few former rental 2014 Yaris' for sale in the Virginia area. They all have between 33-36 thousand miles on them. All French-built.

I was very impressed with the one I drove that had 35 thousand rental car miles on it. Very tight and quiet.

And on Toyota's distributorship website, the French 2015 Yaris' are shipping in "now" for U.S. sales.

^^^^^ That Yaris = polar opposite from the the Fiesta I drove last week......same mileage, same rental car company.

It's real comforting to know these cars stay tight & right instead of floppy & sloppy after they get some miles on them

I just ordered the 2015 Yaris SE and understand that it is made in France. Hopefully arriving in a month or so. I'll let you know once I confirm origin of manufacture. :)

^^^^^ I wonder if Canada = shorter lead time. I was thinking about a 2015 L with manual transmission and the consensus from several dealers was 'probably November'....one of a few reasons I decided not to wait.

Yep. 'Rental Resales' on eBay were mentioned on an earlier post. Until the 2015s get here, I think those are the only French made Yari available to the general public here in the states.

Yes, I remember seeing/reading about the rentals. I had a strong feeling yours was made in Japan, tho.

Love your term 'floppy and sloppy'. Conjures up an image of that 35.000 mile Fiesta

. My 2007 Yaris doesn't feel as tight as my new one, but it still feels tighter than my friend's PT Cruiser with 156K miles...and WAY tighter than that Fiesta

.

I live in North Carolina and my 2015 says 60% Japanese and 40% France..but finally assembly was in France...so you tell me lol

buda · 10-01-2014, 10:57 AM

When going in to order my 2014 SE, I saw French VINS on the Yarii(sp?) on the lot at my dealership. (Canada) However, my dealer told me the SE was still manufactured in Japan, while the rest were France now. Confirmed I DO have a Japanese 2014 SE. Unsure about 2015s though.

hatchtastic2015 · 01-09-2015, 08:39 PM

My door jam where the vin is says Manufactured in France

coolcolger · 01-10-2015, 09:29 AM

I know we are months later here but my '15 SE is French...

What the world has come to... Japanese quality cars Fit and Yaris are now made in Mexico... France... soon they will be assembled in the back of a Wal-Mart.
