Be honest, if you could go back in time and do it again..... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't say for sure. The 2012 Yaris is my first subcompact, but I'm surprised at how much things rattle and make noise. Maybe all subcompacts are like this because of cheap plastics, etc.? Regardless, it drives great and I expect years of trouble-free performance from engine and tranny.

Wow...nothing in my car rattles. However, rattling wouldn't be a deal breaker for a 3rd Gen as a replacement down the road.

If I could go back in time...

...I'd go back and buy a 2011 instead of a 2012.

Hey nook,

You're never nosey.

I really like the 2nd gen jellybean look over the ugly 3rd gen pinched front and bulbous protruding taillights.

Thanks. I really value your opinion, and I just wanted to know (re future purchase consideration) if your reason was mechanical or ergonomic (meaning something I would need to put on a con list during consideration). I do like the 2nd gen look better as well, but I do like that the 3rd gen is still distinctive (in a different way).

I like everything except the body style. When I'm driving I can't see the outside of the car so it's all good.
