What do you like most about your Yaris Sedan? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Where is my Yaris? · 03-25-2007, 06:07 PM

Since Toyota is not capable of making the Yaris liftback with ABS brakes without having to sell your soul to the devil, I think I am going to have to just buy the sedan. I guess i have no choice unless I buy something else.

So please tell me your likes and dislikes?

How is the gas milege?

deebrown · 03-25-2007, 06:34 PM

great one gas (between 35-42mgp)

abs breaks are a must (i truly believe they may have saved my life a few weeks ago when I was driving during a snowstorm on a country highway that curved suddenly - i believe i would have crossed the center land and been hit by a semi had the abs not kicked in and stopped the car)

great stereo with the display with mp3/wma capability + folders

looks - has a very modern/semi-futuristic look to it that should hold up for years to come (unlike the very vanilla looking corrolla)

center-mounted dash - at first I was bothered by this but i've grown used to it and i believe it helps create the illusion of more space in the interior of the car.

Trunk space is good too

dislikes:

blows around too much on the highway

car constantly engages in engine breaking when the cruise is on when driving on any semi-hilly terrian which causes a less than smooth feel to the drive

paint seems to chip easily

I could not have said all that better myself... I absolutely agree with all that. Although I would add to the "likes" the shape of the car is freaking awesome! Especially with the sport body kit. Its the perfect shape I was looking for and that I like on a sedan.

One thing i noticed when I test drove the sedan was that it has a lot of blind spots. When I test drove the liftback i felt like I was on an suv. I feel like i need a booster sit or something. I am 5'4 by the way.

Do you think the winshield is smaller on the sedan or the same as the liftback?

You kidding right. For some weird reason I like the lift back better, i feel i can see everything. I feel like a midget in the sedan.

I have a Silver NON S Sedan, I don't like body kits they start looking bad after a couple years, I'm about to put some 16 inch rims on mine soon. The 2dr HB looks like an Egg, the Sedan looks like a baby Camry, it's much smoother with Tint and some rims. But I do like the 4dr hatchback in other markets, the 2dr hatch looks like a coffin on wheels. I also don't understand the point of a M/T in the yaris, it's not a sports car and with the auto you're only loosing 1 mpg, but to each his own.

mpg most
quick for what it is
interior space and looks

dislikes
exterior looks r gonna take some getting used to but that can be changed

Basscat · 05-15-2007, 11:19 PM

I've got an S with the spoiler, power package, ABS, and 5 speed, and I love the way it looks, 38 - 42 mpg in my normal driving, plenty of room for my large 6' frame, and pretty good handling for a budget minded car. It's not a Ferrari, but within the speed limits I can zip around OK by choosing the right gear. For the price, and for the MPG, I love this car.

I am not a fan of ABS, I just think it is for those who do not know what to do in emergency situations, ABS hinders some driving hard manovers

actually, ABS does pump faster than your foot. not a chance there without abs.. or if you're so good at stopping in a slippery surface without locking the wheels. weither if you have abs or not, it would be the same.

Vervepipes · 03-25-2007, 08:30 PM

I like the roominess. I dont tend to have 5 people in the car at a time, so the centre rear armrest with cupholder is great. Rear legroom is great. Basically I like the sedan better for its bigger space.

Black Yaris · 03-25-2007, 08:37 PM

Hatch has more space actually

If you ask me,thats just wrong.Have you ever looked at the curb weight for both cars,how can the sedan weigh like only 2 pounds more(both auto),impossible #'s.

hystria · 03-25-2007, 10:27 PM

roof is lower that hatchback's, therefore less space for taller persons. it also has pronounced roll compared to the Hb

better ride and comfort due to longer wheelbase. trunk. less inspired driving. I think it's overall a better value

with the seats folded down, way more.

With the seats up... no chance :)

SailDesign · 03-25-2007, 09:22 PM

I hate ABS - especially when the guy in front of me has it and I don''t. Short, sad story - you can guess

Vervepipes · 03-25-2007, 11:04 PM

headroom maybe, but for somebody short like me that doesnt matter. it seemed to have more leg room in the back, and definately more trunk space
