Consumer Reports : test drive of 2012 LE 5 door w/ ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

If I'm being honest though, I have had my 2012 for a couple of weeks. I traded in my leased 2007. And there is alot more things I miss in my 2007 than I like in the 2012. It seems like Toyota really cheaped out on some things. Such as an interior light for the back seat. My 2007 had one. I really miss the storage spots in my 2007. Don't really like where the cup holders are in the 2012, but the ones in the 2007 dash made a real mess! They got rid of the nicer spare tire cover, and also the storage compartments where the spare tire sits. I find the seats VERY uncomfortable. I'm not a big guy but the hard foam on the edges really hurts my hips. I do like a few things in the new one. The standard keyless entry, the additional air bags are probably great, but I hope to never find out. And I do like the extra length and the exterior styling, I don't like the bit of chrome on the dash though. But I do like the button for the hatch. Hopefully it won't freeze up like my '07 did.

Just one guys opinion.
