2014 Yaris - Made in France

[Septembersrain]

Oh great. So the Mazda 2 will be made in Mexico?
Most Ford vehicles are made there and look where it got them.

There are very few countries I trust can make a reliably long lasting vehicle.
Mexico, France, Korea... I don't trust those one bit.

Yep, Mazda 2 to be made it Mexico. Some people (even some Yarisworld members) don't think that quality will drop for a USDM spec Yaris built in France. I'm willing to wait to see what happens for model years 2014 and 2015. If the French built USDM Yaris turns out to be a bust re reliability, I'll probably get a Prius C (pretty much a Yaris Hybrid).....If they are still making the C in Japan and if I can get myself to accept not having a manual transmission.

I definitely will want to stay with Japanese made cars.
Luckily I'm already in the automatic transmission club.
I do know, However, That Ford has a very low reliability rating.
Most of their cars are made in Mexico.
I also know that my friend in Alsace had told me that French workers intentionally sabotage some of their vehicles so that they'll break down out of warranty. >_>

^^^^^ Nice .

Given that your Yaris is new, vehicle choice (fortunately for you) isn't something that will probably have to be on your radar for quite a long time.
