No way... but then, I actually wasn't shopping.

Wasn't planning on getting a new car or even hoping to get a new car. Then I saw a commercial for the Yaris... love at first sight, was obsessed, had to have that car, drove everybody I know crazy talking about the car. Finally got the car & still just as happy with it!

Sounds a lot like someone I know...

Yeah, I was in the market for a new car and had friends at a Toyota dealership. I was originally looking for a late 90's Celica GT. Then they said "you know, we could get you in a Yaris for around 250 a month." That was that.

I still lay claim to the first Yaris in Ohio... maybe someone will knock me off that soap box one day. It was the first one from the largest dealership in the state, that much I know. They were as shocked to see it as I was.

NO!!!

We like 2-Door Hatchbacks - saw Yaris LB, and fell in love. It's DIFFERENT, and ours is a great performer - zippy (5-Spd), great mileage and plenty of room for our folding bikes.

Our next door neighbors bought a Carolla several months later - they love it, but hey, they are in the 80-85 age range.

Our other car is a 2006 4Runner Sport V8 to pull our Aframe trailer. It sits in the garage 6 days a week while we run around in our Yaris.
