Five month report on the Yaris

[Yaris240]

Interesting. I have both a 2010 Yaris and 2001 C240. I love both cars. If you do a cost comparision, A 5-year old C-Class in pretty good condition ( even factoring in it's future expensive maintenance and repairs), is comparable in cost to a brand new well equiped Yaris. If you drive a lot, then the Yaris pays off in gasoline savings. But the C-Class IMHO handles better on the highway and will protect you better if you get T-boned.

I think we have similar cars. I didnt say it was the quietest car I ever owned. But for a new car, "out the door" price of less then 14k? I'm very happy with it.

My feelings are similar to yours. So far the MPG's are amazing compared to the MB. We like the Yaris, alot!
