you reserve the right to say the moon is made of blue cheese, but that doesn't make it so..

omg hahahaah

ok so you were driving a corolla that had independant rear suspension, factory rear swaybar swaybar, independant mac strut suspension

your yaris has a semi solid rear axle.

your yaris has 185/60/15 tire most likely bfgoodrich?
the corolla had 185/60/14 tires iirc bfgoodrich

your corolla weighed about 250lbs more than a yaris

you really just don't know how to drive, accept the fact.

Florida is like France, you just don't drink the water, you drink booze instead. They put so much crap in this water, chlorine, flouride, etc,etc,etc. It is absurd.

the 12" stock tires on the FORD Festivas ( Mazda 121 ) we had did quite well in snow and on ice . Was quite shocked at the way the 3 speed auto performed during the 1st ice storm

. Slapped 4 12" studded YOKOHAMAs on a '93 4 speed manual FORD Festiva with great results until it was rearended ( totaled ) while waiting for red light to change during a wet snowfall . Never fails

The corolla pricing in Canada is a bit of an anomoly. The new-gen corolla/matrix were released when the Canadian dollar was trading at parity with the US dollar. So the pricing was set at a fair bit lower than the previous generation. The Yaris was originally priced to be in line with the previous generation Corolla/Matrix. This has resulted in a much smaller price premium to get into the compact category of Toyota vehicles in Canada. Given that the Canadian dollar is much closer to its tradition levels (relative to the US). I expect that the next model refresh on the Corolla/Matrix platform will bump up the price significantly.

old topic, same bullshit!

yaris vs corolla YW thread from 2006, fortunately it got cut out by the hack!

2006 YW Yaris vs Rolla

Kaotic Lazagna · 02-01-2009, 11:58 PM

Because I have at least three friends who have a Corolla. LOL!

That, and I think the Yaris is more sporty.

A larger percentage of the components of the Corolla is made in the USA excluding the main drivetrain. The alternator for example is made for Denso in USA. I test drove a corolla and its design and interior pieces felt boring and quite cheap. The seats felt really cheap and the engine noise was worse than the Yaris. There must be a higher profit margin on the corolla, as there are higher rebates for them (they wouldn't be giving rebates to do you a favor and they are STILL making a profit!).
