Test drove a 5spd French built SE. The front fascia is ok but the gaping grill makes the entire car looked more raked than it is. The tail lights and rear end are a lot better than my '12. The interior is much nicer with a sturdier feeling fabric and all of the lighter colors that are smudged to hell with dirt in my '12 are replaced with darker, softer materials on the '15. Plus the iPod and aux connections are in a much more driver friendly area. No idea if the plastic on the door panels still smudges easily. Overall, I really felt that the quality was equal to or better than my Japanese built '12.

I firmly believe that if Toyota would just update the powertrain and increase the power, the Yaris would be in best many rival offerings.

I don't like the 'bottom of the bumper backup light', but I agree with you re the seats.
