Is the Yaris outdated? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, my buddy's Echo still gets better mileage than my Yaris, but it IS smaller. We could never been able to make it do as much as the Yaris, strictly because of its lack of room. Other than that, my main objection to the newer cars is the added BS that one must buy on a standard model. I don't NEED the alarms and other electronics; I just want a car that will move me from A to B with as little trouble as possible, using as little fuel as possible. 40mpg is not new to me; I was getting that from my cars in the 60s.

I do, however, enjoy the lack of corrosion built into today's cars, and the longevity they are showing. Somehow, I just know that it will be the damn electronics that will kill my Yaris...
