Here I am! I haven't taken delivery of my 07 Liftback yet (it's supposed to be in next week) but I just wanted to introduce myself to all you Yaris fanatics. I'm an old guy.....At 50, I'm probably not the average demographic for this car.

Over the years I've owned some of the most coveted cars you can imagine, (one of which I still own) but by an odd twist of fate and an extreme hatred for gas hoarding A-rabs, I bought a Yaris. I currently have 3 other vehicles, but I bought it mainly to replace a Black 2000 Mazda Protege (which has served me faithfully as a daily commuter) that I'm giving to my daughter. The reason I bought the Yaris is that you just can't buy a better 40mpg car for 14k. Believe me, I looked for MONTHS trying to find something better. I drove EVERYTHING!!! At Least 20 cars. The Honda Fit, The Nissan Versa, The Mini Cooper, The VW GTI.....etc, etc, etc. There just is not a better vehicle out there NEW or USED for 14k.

The reason Im here is, because as great a car as I think the Yaris is, I know that:
1. There's gotta be ways to make it better
2. Eventually something will go wrong with it
3. It's just a lotta fun to talk with and meet other people that love Yaris's too.

I may not post too much here, especially at first, but I look forward to surfing the threads for interesting discussions about our car.

Just sayin' Hi!
