Yaris HB's seem rare on Long Island, a lot of Versa's though
There's one, nope a Nissan Versa..
There's one nope a Mazda, is that...nope a Honda. That's a Yaris I think, yup a sedan. There's 9 million people on Long Island NY, I drove 1200 miles since I bought my 07 HB & have seen a total of drumroll....4 others .. Pretty exclusive , how's that for some somewhat boring & useless info ..but seriously there's like 10 Nissan Versa's to every Yaris HB. I had friends say " I've never seen that model ' neato ! . |

As you stated perhaps rare in LI but they are all over the place where I live.
There is one that lives about 3 blocks from me looks just like mine. And about 2 weeks ago I counted no less than 3, 3dr LB's while I was out running errands. Oh, and the 3 I saw, were all pizza delivery vehicles, two completely logo wrapped and the 3rd with the light up magnetic thing on the roof.

Versas are more common probably because they cost a LOT less than Yarises.
I remember when shopping for my Yaris, I decided to look at the Versa for "due diligence". Walking up to the demo car, I immediately disliked it's styling (especially that triangular shaped C-pillar). Then, it only took about 10 seconds sitting in the car to thoroughly dislike the interior. I think Nissan took a LOT of shortcuts to undercut the Yaris by something like $2000 (?). There is just something cheap feeling about it... If all you are looking for is a transportation appliance (which most Americans are at this price point), then the Versa is just fine. I actually would prefer to like the car I drive and cars mean much more than just an appliance so, of course, I went with the Yaris... |

My little Yaris is somewhat unique in my area. I have yet to see another one like it around here.

While I see the occasional second-gen hatchback on the road and a number of Echos (and Prius Cs) on my college campus, the third generation is like a unicorn around here--in fact, the local Toyota dealership has had only two SEs in stock since at least December. But the Fit is EVERYWHERE. I remember seeing at least one third-gen on every five-mile outing when I was visiting some relatives in southern California over the summer.

Prisus's are very common here, lots of Rav 4's too. I did see 2 more second gen Hatches I saw white & a black one since I posted this, drove 50 miles a day too Ebony & Ivory together in perfect harmony. Interesting thing is every HB I saw was a different color.. far out huh ?
It must be the magical goddess of beauty & elegance Yaris herself blessing me from above with such an interesting array of colors to view & none repeated. Yeah that's it, far out |
