Just wanted to thank everyone - Toyota Yaris Forums

chibipod · 12-30-2008, 06:55 PM

I've been lurking here for a couple of months while deciding between a Yaris or a Fit, and between research, test drives and all of the info on these boards I'm now the very happy owner of an '09 S LB. This car is a blast to drive - thanks for helping me choose wisely!

Let me the first to welcome and congratulate you, Chibipod!

Mind sharing with us what tipped your scale in favor of the Yaris?

chibipod · 12-30-2008, 07:17 PM

Thanks! and sure - I don't think you could go wrong with either of them, but for me the Fit just felt a little too "mini-van"-ish (not crazy about the styling either). Also, the Honda dealers didn't really want to deal so price was a big factor. And the Yaris is just cool...

Congratulations on your purchase.
And that was my #1 reason I chose Yaris LB over Fit also.

Welcome

Put them up. Alot of ppl here in YW complaining about the S being impossible to get.

nemelek · 12-30-2008, 07:55 PM

Thanks for keeping the economy afloat. Plus you picked the best color.

jinxor · 12-30-2008, 08:10 PM

Welcome, Soon you will have a pool of mods on your yaris. Because the yaris is sooo moddable....

Here they are (sorry, don't have good ones yet).

I wouldn't say "impossible" around here - a fair number to choose from (AT's). I lucked out and found exactly what I was looking for - MT Meteorite Metallic.

PETERPOOP · 12-31-2008, 02:05 AM

Let the mods begin!

tetzyamis · 12-31-2008, 03:00 AM

Wow, S model. Nice!!

ZING · 12-31-2008, 02:49 PM

Welcome to YW, were all your modding dreams come true.

I wanted an S, but they don't even import them over here.

33OH · 12-31-2008, 07:56 PM

Welcome! I wanted the S model as well, but none around here.

You got the exact car I wish I could have! =)

chibipod · 12-31-2008, 08:09 PM

I can't believe I found exactly what I was looking for either - I was prepared to wait it out, but fortune smiled upon me!
