Thinking of Buying a Yaris, Help Please!!!

I really think you should reconsider, but whatever makes you happy. In my opinion, if you want a smoother, more luxurious ride the versa is the way to go... Its also quicker on the straightaway. Way Quieter in the cabin, and just feels smoother on the road much more... Yeah it looks kinda funky sometimes, but if you get the dark blue and do a little bit of modding it changes drastically... Hitup cardomain and check them out.

Wait! Did someone on this forum just suggest a Versa over a Yaris?! What's the world coming to?

-unless they changed something, the Versa really screwed up with the back seats. even the yaris hatch without the fold flat rear seats folds fairly flat ( i always loaded my 2 large dogs in there). the versa back seat folds forward, leaving a big drop down to the floor, not even remotely flat. when shopping the small hatches, i found this an unacceptable feature for a hatchback. having a fairly flat load area has so many advantages.

-it is really unattractive. imo, they looked dated when i shopped them in 2007, like something Renault had built in 1987.

-the gas mileage for a car that small is awfully disappointing, almost Dodge Caliberesque. you wont be seeing 40 mpg's in a Versa. in fact, looking at some real world drivers, you will have difficulty seeing 35 mpg's. with the yaris, these are VERY easily achievable with no real effort.

-reliability: Nissan's arent consistently reliable.

if i paint a bag of crap dark blue, it is still a bag of crap.
