Remember it's KM. So this Yaris has 499,719 miles on it. Still fantastic. Among the highest we've heard of.

Just KBB'd it based on the info. Very good condition has it at $3,300. It's a good buy at the book value. Show the seller the blue book.

As long as it got regular oil changes and has had other...

The only way full electrics make sense to the majority is if they had a range of at least 500 miles (in the winter too) to be ready for road trips and it has to be around the same price as a...

It's all about making a business case to sell small cars in the US. Many try, many have failed. Like any business, money has to be made on these models and too often, not enough money is not made.

Except for the Mirage, none of them are in the US. And the Mirage barely sells.

For its intended buyers, I think the C-HR works in terms of design (I really hope they change the name, sounds like a Honda). It's pretty radical but it comes together better than numerous Nissan...

Scion's rebranding to Toyota - iA becomes Yaris iA in the US

So the Yaris sedan is back as the iA (Mazda 2 sedan). Weird since a number of markets actually has a unique Yaris sedan but Toyota didn't want to bring it over.

The FR-S becomes the Toyota 86 as...

The Mirage is so bad, it shouldn't even be sold in the US. It's 3rd world material. It's the worst car sold in the US. Not nearly worth it's low price. Mitsubishi is on it's way to dying. They can no...

For the period of the '80s and '90's and into the earlier 2000's, perhaps. What about all the decades previous? Remember the land yachts that used to cover our roads? These cars were significantly...

It's all about market demand, and when it comes to the US, sub-compacts just aren't doing it. It's depressing looking at Yaris sales the last several years. Almost so low that Toyota could justify...

Good move. There's just no reason for Scion anymore. Too bad Toyota had to learn the hard way.

It looks fixable. Question is always whether it is worth it and the insurance company will probably say no to a base line car with 136,000 miles.

It's not so much about mileage but the ratio of city/highway, driving style, etc.

Agreed, the 1st gen was hideous.

The outgoing 3rd gen is the best of the 4. Clean and sleek looking. There's some nice elements in the '16 but overall it is just too busy.
