Goodbye Yaris!

['LilRedYaris]

ABS corrosion and related wheel bearing corrosion issues with my '07 Yaris finally irked me enough to trade it in at almost 112,000 miles. Just traded her in on a I-4 '09 Camry. I loved my Yaris. It was a great commuter car, got great mileage, and was fun to drive. I'm awaiting the Camry this week. I know the Camry will be bigger, quieter, and will be a much "smoother" highway car, but it's very plain. I'm fearing a much lower "fun" factor than the Yaris.

While the Abarth is a sharp looking car if i was looking for something like that i'd probably stick with something from Toyota,that bulletproof reliability is hard to overlook.
Maybe not as stylish as the Abarth but=

Kaotic Lasagna posted some MPG numbers for his FR-S, and they weren't too far behind the Yaris sedan he had.

My other car is a '10 Camry. It just turned over 20K miles. I love the car! Compared to the Yaris, it's pure luxury. But, you're right... the fun factor is definitely lower.
