April Yaris Sales: Down

[teddy]

The previous gen Yaris is everywhere around here, but the third gen, not so much. I think the competition just has more to offer. Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent are just much nicer IMO.

Let's not forget the compact segment which is offering comparable or better fuel economy with a larger, more comfortable ride. The Honda Civic springs to mind here. Even the Corolla is nice. When my Mother in Law's Yaris was totalled recently it was a no brainer to go to the Corolla for only $1200 more since the sedan isn't offered anymore.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Honda comes up with with the next Fit too.

It not just the Yaris. All of the Toyotas haven undergone some interior changes that are not very attractive. If I needed a new car, I would still buy Toyota, but not for the interior.

I think this is the winner here. Toyota offers zero incentives on the Yaris but if a consumer jumps a half-size to a Corolla, he/she can land zero percent financing and even negotiate a decent price. Likewise, someone can go purchase a Chevy Sonic or Ford Fiesta with zero financing and insane rebates. The Gen2 Yari are everywhere because they sell for a great used price.

Each person has a different experience, but I rarely have combined city/hwy tanks (which are all my tanks) that are under a 40 MPG average for the tank. While reading other forums, I don't find that Accent and Fit owners are getting my results. I don't yet trust the long term reliability of the Fiesta, so I haven't noticed what most owners seem to be getting re MPG.
