Persuade me to buy a Yaris! - Toyota Yaris Forums

most front wheel drive cars are pretty good in inclement weather. the yaris probably isn't an exception to that rule.

handling mods are pretty cheap if you want to go that route.

it will be hard to get a nonbiased opinion from either of those sites. they are both going to be biased in their direction. the 4runner guys are going to think you are crazy and the yaris guys are going to say go for it. that's just how it works.

I recently purchased a 3 door hatch. it is a 2008 with less than 18k on it. it was under $12k the payments really are small. given all the factors that went into my decision, it was a great deal. I will say I have no use for an SUV or a truck for that matter. if you actually use your 4runner for stuff and need the towing or cargo space, you can either keep it and get the yaris or not get the yaris.

the resale on these things are crazy (at least what I have seen) sometimes the used ones are almost as expensive as the new ones. granted I was looking at 1 or 2 years old. that was a big reason I bought one that was 3 years old. I still stayed with low mileage.

in the end, you have to live with it. if you don't like small cars, the yaris is not for you. if you like the good gas mileage and the fact that it is a toyota and will probably last a really long time, go for it. test drive it, scrutinize it, make sure it is the way you want to go. finance it for 6 years and pay it off in 2. make sure you are OK with the deal. nobody can tell you it is or isn't a good deal.

hopefully some of that made sense and it isn't just me rambling.

good luck my friend.
