2016 Hatch - Toyota Yaris Forums

Nice find!

While it's probably always been this way, it's interesting to see the L and LE models have a lower drag coefficient (just barely) as well a slightly wider tread width (which seems odd).

I also thought the SE had a faster steering ratio, by the way ...

In fact, in looking back at the 2012 Yaris press release, it specifically called out a different steering gear ratio. The 2015 release, however, lists the same.

Hmm ... if this is truly the case, then I'd probably be fine getting a 5-dr LE ... if I could get it with a manual trans. However, the only Yaris I can buy new in Oregon with a manual transmission is a three-door L. :(

Yeah, IIRC one dealer had one manual transmission SE during the 2014 model year, but over the 2015 model year....zero of the manual transmission SEs I've seen on cars.com and cargurus.com have been in Oregon.
