Well, my blackbeauty (1994 Toyota Corolla) has finally decided to retire. So, after we've been car shopping for almost a month now, I decided to get a Yaris. It gets great gas mileage and is beautiful. I'm short and I fit perfectly inside it. I can see out of it really well, which tends to be a big issue for me. It's in the middle of the Atlantic right now, and I should get it around October 13th! I'm so excited! It's a 2009 blazing blue liftback. I'll post pix when she comes in.
wtf is a yaris and why is it in the middle of the Atlantic? Seems like you'll have a lot of water damage to contend with. Unless you bought a whale or something. THen you'll be fine on the water damage.
They are cute cars that get about 30-35 miles a gallon. ALMOST bought one last year to drive to and from work, but decided we didn't really need it. I am curious to see how you like it. Did you get a test drive before you bought? http://www.toyota.com/yaris/
Eh, I'd LOVE a smart car. I WILL have one someday. LOL...it's in the middle of the Atlantic because it's on a ship to be delivered. I did test drive one and I loved it. I drive very conservatively so I am hoping to get great gas mileage. I def. need a new car. My old Corolla was used when I got it, then my mom drove it for years, then she gave it to me. It's def. had a full life, but it was time for a new one.
i've had my blue yaris for a couple years now and i love him very easy to drive, great handling and very big windows so great visability, not to mention spacious interior.
Yeah, I was very surprised at how easy and comfortable it is to drive. Even my husband who is 6 ft tall sat in the back of the one I test drove and said it was quite spacious. Yay European styling! lol
Congrats...lets see..I think the Yaris runs around 13k to 16k depending on options..I am going to say you spent 14k+tax and license 15.500..2000 down..5 year loan 275 a month..am I right?
Not really my cup of tea especially during the winter months with 2 feet of snow on the ground Hotwater
if you're interested in better fuel economy put a cold air intake on it and a magnet pair on the fuel supply line you'll get at least another 5mpg. we've got a civic del sol that's rated roughly around what the yaris is and we consistently get 35 in town and 40-45 hwy. you can also check out hydrogen add ons and fuel foggers. if you're at all interested.
Thanks everyone! Yeah, I live in South Carolina, so snow is hardly an issue. If it ever snows it's about 2 inches. I think the car is adorable. (Give me a break guys, my hubby wanted a Nissan Rogue lol)
Eh, there about. lol We bought it with the power package and it's about that price a month. Of everything we looked at, it gets the best gas mileage and is the least expensive. I really want a car that runs on bio fuel but that will come later. I wanted a small car because I can't stand the thought of buying more car than I need and using more gas than is necessary.
well i didnt get to choose the colour. but its actually very high off the ground. i used to drive a mitsubishi and it was like touching the gravel. the yaris feels quite high
the yaris is so cute! i drive said del sol from jrnyman's post... and it rocks on the gas mileage! i dunno what gas prices are like where you're at hempmama, but it just in the last week went down below $4/gal for supreme (which is what i buy). it's VERY nice having a fuel efficient vehicle!
