Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

firemachine69 · 01-28-2009, 10:31 PM

I only took the Yaris over the Corolla because of the hatch (Vibe/Matrix is an overweight pig nowadays)... And I sincerely regret not buying a Corolla...

For the record, can the 50+ mpg folks (some of whom I know are Canadian) post the number of fluid ounces in their points or gallons. If you are using Imperial measurements, then 50+ is the same as 40+ to the US gallon.

Because I couldn't park a Corolla in my garage with plenty of room to walk around my car, and that's with my rider mower, 2 push mowers and a utility wagon in front of the car.

I also own a 2004 Corolla, and it's great! good milage, reliable we love it.

But nothing compares to the Yaris, I had to have the Sedan "S" or the Corolla "S" and the difference in price was almost 4K.

My privius car was a Tacoma!

at3GG · 01-29-2009, 03:04 PM

I would believe 50mpg. Ive gotten 44ish on the highway on long trips sitting around 60mph with no hypermiling and the A/C on and off so with no A/C and someone with the patience to hypermile at 55mph....could be done fairly easily i would say.....all highway of course.

Jem_hadar · 01-29-2009, 06:49 PM

Bc i like hatchbacks.

(And with respect to the matrix (a corolla hatchback essentially), im not a fan of its poor(er) mileage.

plus i really dislike its dash... too busy and clustered... not open enough for me)

nothing gets the posts going like someone undermining our cars (and the sole reason we're all here in the first place). It's a call to arms and most of us are willing and ready to step up.

srsly dude. We know you love your fit to death,

but fitfreak.net is that way ------->

Whichever car you prefer is your subjective opinion, but don't try to act like you're in on some kind of secret that we're not privy to. Most of us compared many of the cars in the subcompact class and we made the decision that was best for ourselves.

my point is this..

people drive around in yarii with chips on their shoulders and are overly jumpy to defend their decision for their purchase.

my "honda fit" has been the brunt of many jokes over the last 4 years and i've learned the best thing to do is laugh it off. why get uptight over what people think about what you drive? waste of energy IMO.

not once did i bash the Yaris. i'd never bash the yaris.. stock for stock it should out perform my "honda fit" in every way.

Tamago · 01-30-2009, 04:27 PM

by the way, how in the world did you come to the conclusion that i'm a fit owner?

Rich k · 01-30-2009, 04:29 PM

i had a corolla once and it sucked ass, swore never to own one again, if toyota hadn't added the Yaris under the corolla in their lineup i probably woulnd't have bought the brand ever again
