Happy with Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I agree with otterhere about Yaris VS Swift.
I've looked at 2008 Swift (it's called SX4 now) too before I bought 2009 Yaris 5-Door.
Suzuki, Subaru, and Toyota are all sold at the same dealer here.
They offered such a good deal on fully loaded Swift Sedan (MSRP of about $18k) would be almost the same price as 5-Door Yaris with just power package ($15,835).
Yes, much below invoice price... I think it was left over for a long time.
Swift was a lot more stable, firm feeling, quiet, more power, and much better car for the same amount of money.
It had 17" aloy wheels, the cover between the tires and fender (makes big difference on the noise), so many speakers (7 or 8?), and etc.
But I still went with Yaris instead because of the exterior and the interior design, the resale value, and the Toyota reputation.
So, if otterhere doesn't like the design and doesn't care about the brand then, then Suzuki would've been much better car for him.

$12,400. 114MPH top speed. 43 MPG city. 39 MPG highway. Great value easily up-graded in the trouble spots. I've always bought Corrollas in the past so I didn't pick up on the seats short commings on long trips right away. I usually only commute in it but I am going to install racing seats for the occasional gas sipping road trip. Its my 5th new Toyota so I knew what I was getting into.
