The decision was work harder for a more luxurious car or do something fun and give back to my community....full hippy in a Yaris for me....
Just wish the bastards at Toyota would've let me buy a diesel!!

YEEEEAAAAHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAAN!!!

I am 25 and I think this will be my next car.

As much as I want a Subaru it will be a smarter move money wise to buy a cheap, fuel effecent car until I get a more stable income.

Iam upper 40's and bought Yaris Auto Sedan White for daily commute (20 miles each way). Also I am planning to get a 17" alloy wheels upgrade before next spring ;)

tonywenzel · 10-20-2006, 09:37 AM

25, Bought the Yaris so I could modify the Z more while not compromising daily comfort.

theladybug · 11-01-2006, 01:44 PM

I'm 27, and my YarisHB was actually my first "new car" purchase [had always purchased used cars, previously]. I will admit, price was a HUGE factor in deciding on this car. But so was a bunch of other things, like Toyota quality... or fuel economy... or how I'd always previously owned domestics and had TERRIBLE experiences with them [and who ISN'T owned or part-owned by GM or Ford these days?]...

...and well, principle was a huge part of it too - I like the way Toyota runs their business, and I think the princples by which they run their company (continuous improvement, respect for people) are admirable.

I'm 50... sold a Jeep Cherokee so that I can move "up" to a Yaris liftback!

26 y/o. This is my 4th car. Love it. 'Nuff said.

Sabina74 · 05-07-2007, 07:54 AM

i'm 32 now but i bought the car when i was 26

Lickitung · 05-07-2007, 06:24 PM

I'm 25 and this is the first car that I have ever purchased, my last vehicle was a gift from my parents when I started college. When the truck my parents bought for me died I knew I wanted either a honda or toyota since they are known for being reliable. My truck (chevy s-10) was always in the shop so I didn't want to deal with that again. The guys at toyota offered a much better deal than the guys at honda when I was looking at the fit, so I went with the Yaris. It was cute, reliable and in my price range.

Imagine · 05-07-2007, 11:57 AM

I'm 28.. Got into the import scene in '99 When I bought my '97 Civic Ex. It was a great car, I ended up selling it to my friend this winter and started driving my Explorer everyday. That got expensive really quick. I've always been a fan of the Vitz, and wished they were in the states. So I decided it was time to jump on the Yaris with gas prices being the way they are. I love this little car. Can't wait to do a few mods to the suspension and wheels, it'll handle like a go-cart. lol

weaponrcamry · 05-07-2007, 12:42 PM

I am 19 and this is my third car. Once I first got my license (16), my parents bought me a used 98 dodge neon rt. But at 70,000 miles the power steering went out and it was to expensive to fix. At the age of 17 my mom gave me her 2001 Camry le(auto)that was paid off. I started modifying it(a intake-->my screen name lol) exhaust, and tint was basically it. It had about 60,000 mile and I added about 9,??? miles on it. I was also saving my own money at the time working full time(18 yrs old) Once I graduated high school put my first down payment on on the car, and my parents paid for the rest. I only pay for gas and half of the monthly payments on the car as of now. Im glad I don't pay insurance cause it is a killer. I am now in college(full time), graduate in January 2008, and work part time as program assistant. I bought the car because I wanted my own car, not my moms camry(no offense, but camry's are for a mid aged crowd) the yaris looked just right for me. Not to girly not to boyish either. Just what a typical person like me was looking for. And it's a 5 speed whoo hooo!!!

MrJester · 05-07-2007, 02:18 PM

ItalianYaris · 05-07-2007, 02:39 PM

Well, some of us only FEEL young, but it really makes little difference. I bought the Yaris because I wanted a car that was fun to drive, and a new Yaris fit my budget as well as an older Golf. Now I wouln't touch the Golf anyway. As far as "upgrading" to a Corolla, you have to be kidding! Buy a boring "old-guy" car? I'm only 51 fer krissakes!

Doug007 · 05-07-2007, 07:22 PM

Looks like I'm on the other end of the bell curve at 49. I've owned an Echo, but the Yaris is much nicer in terms of quality and I sure enjoy it on my daily commute. My wife drives Toyota's uber wagon, Sequoia. I get 41 mpg, she gets 14!
