I'm a bit late to the party here. I'm not in the market for a new car, but I don't like that you can't get a new Yaris (starting in 2015) w/o a display screen. Is it 2016 that all new cars must have backup cameras as well?

I can't remember by which year backup cameras are required, but I think it is no later than the 2017 model year. The so called 'Fu-Manchu' front end is growing on me...but cleaning 'Texas bugs' off of that grille, I imagine, would be more of a chore than with previous front end configurations |

I wish a sedan version of the Yaris would come back to the U.S. for 2015. I'm not a fan of the new Corolla look, especially in the S model - and prefer something a bit smaller. The Yaris sedan shown of page 3 for other markets looks better than the U.S. Corolla, despite the strange front bumper face design that Toyota seems to be favoring.

I think the 2014 Corolla looks pretty good. But, the Corollas have gotten too big for my liking. I did own a 2005 and 2007 Corolla, however, before my Yaris.

If I were to get a new car. It better not have crank windows.
It's such an annoyance having to crawl over to close/open the passenger side... |

You have a sedan. I can see THAT (in addition to having a family) creating scenarios re ergonomics that would make having hand crank windows inconvenient. With a 3-door, and just myself to consider, I have a different take. Some other Yarisworld members do share my preference for hand crank windows. I feel power windows are just, especially on a Yaris, an unnecessary item that takes away from the simplicity. However, the main reason I prefer the hand crank windows was revealed to me when I had a rental Yaris LE in February. I like to drive (most of the time) with the driver door window cracked open ever so slightly. With the power windows, It is impossible to adjust that opening to my desired point. The window is either all the way up, or the opening is too wide. |

^^^^^ My re no hand crank windows available for the Canadian market in 2015 = I don't think this bodes well for potential USDM availability.

Your needs/situation may differ from mine, which would contribute to having a different opinion . Also, you know how to do all of your own repairs, so the simplicity angle might not carry as much weight as a factor as it does for me.
It also just occurred to me that harsh winters (the case for both of you) might contribute to a preference for power windows. |

I've had bad luck with power windows, and prefer manual cranking windows myself. Same goes for automatic transmissions versus manual transmissions.

I actually don't care about it in the winter. Windows stay closed all the time. But in the summer, being fuel efficient, I do not use the AC during my short commute to work. And you see, if you buy a barebones car, it probably doesn't have AC anyways, so you want to open that passenger window. |

Has the Canadian market Yaris been identical to the US market car in the past?
