2015 Yaris LE built in France question

[Captain Yaris]

I drive around 2000 miles a month on mine. It's a 2016 L 3dr, and I love it! I just turned 10,000 miles a few days ago and I've had it since March 1st. The only things I've had to correct were the fit and finish of the front bumper. The side wasnt fastened at the very corner but it was corrected under warranty no problem. It's a very solid car with only a few rattles over bumps that I'll get squared away at the next oil change. After 12,000 miles I plan on switching to synthetic oil and plan on running this car as long as I can. It's a manual tranny and a blast to drive. I regularly achieve 38-39mpg on mostly highway with some surface street traffic mixed in. I will say, the metal is on the thin side and the paint is not the thickest and most durable when standing up to road debris. I wax it every other month and it still manages to get chips. If it gets too bad I'll just get it repainted. Honestly, I've looked at a Lexus IS250 and BMW 228i for my drive but even though they are comfortable, I can't justify paying twice the price of this car. Plus my Yaris still puts a smile on my face and I look forward to driving it. The other thing is that, it will keep up with traffic but it could use a little more power. I've been looking into the Blitz S/C or Turbo kit as well as a performance exhaust, bigger fuel injectors, etc. Good luck with your decision it's definitely a great car!
