Drives: 2008 Yaris Liftback (Sprocket)

Well, it might help if you told us a little about yourself!

Are you "young," "middle aged" or "seasoned" (as some would like to call it!)?

Are you looking for a commuter car, or something sporty?

What do you want out of a Yaris? What do you need?

I have a 2008 liftback with manual windows and locks and the automatic gearbox. I use mine mainly to commute back and forth to work and to run errands. I don't do any long-distance driving in it (we have a Honda minivan for road trips), but I have taken it on trips that take 6-8+ hours and have had no problems with it. It is a light car that will move around a bit on a breezy day because it is a light vehicle.

I love the utility of the hatchback and since I don't usually take passengers I was happy with a two-door.

As I am a kid at heart, I added mag wheels, a spoiler, tinted windows and several other modifications that make it look like a Hot Wheels car! I like the originality of the Yaris, you don't see them as much as Civics or Neons, and I always smile when I see another liftback!

Lastly, the sedan and liftback are two different vehicles, they only share the same name in this country. There are a lot of features that they don't share, like the driver's side glovebox on the older hatches. In Asia they are sold as separate models.

Hope that helps!

Cheers! M2
