traded in Odyssey for Yaris

[yari09]

toad-- yes, tires & brakes. Had to replace both generally twice a year.

darkmoon-- I bought the Odyssey because at the time I worked alot with kids, so having a larger vehicle was necessary. Past few years though, with a career change, the van wasnt needed. The odyssey had 250,000kms on it, some major things were starting to break down, plus the gas mileage (350-400kms per tank, 65litre tank!) the costs were just getting too high. So, researched the yaris, and hence, I am now a yaris driver.

thebarber-- a toyota get-together??? lol We'll see.

It sounds like you made a practical choice switching to the Yaris from the Odyssey given the change in your needs and the expenses associated with the larger vehicle. Gas mileage and maintenance costs can add up quickly. Enjoy your new Yaris, and who knows, maybe a Toyota get-together is in your future.
