Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead

[why?]

I've never see a girl do the "oh my God that is so adorable," dance over a corolla, yet they do it for my yaris.

Or, i could say it is about being different. There are a few hundred thousand corollas bought every year, and a lot fewer yaris.

It is also smaller, and that means a ton to me. And a million and a half reasons why I never even considered to think about actually purchasing a corolla.
