3 door vs 5 door hatch - Toyota Yaris Forums

NEexpat · 03-09-2014, 11:48 AM

I'm one of those guys who will do weeks of "research" on an item and then only moments actually purchasing said item. I'd have done all the leg work by that point.

I knew I wanted the 5 door from the start and I've shared this story here about a 5 door MT in Carmine Red I wanted and spent 2 hours at the dealership until I got up and walked away when we couldn't come to terms. I bought my 5 door AT the next day.

I'm 6'2" and have no problem getting in and out of it. My gf has a fit that I drive, fine little car, I'll keep my Yaris tyvm.

My only complaints about this car are these:

1. Used to it now, but I wish the seat rails were 1.5" longer. I installed the CC so not an issue on long drives.
2. I wish the signal/directional clicking noise was louder.
3. Not a fan of DRL's have left the house more than once at dusk thinking ALL my lights were on.

cheers

I even gotten used to the "cool" light and restricting the up shift................................got used to it, didn't say I liked it.

Edit: Sorry got off the road a little there, I have sat in the back of my car very comfortable, and easy to get in an out of. I think the reason I wanted the 5 door from the start was that I wanted the back doors for passengers.

I really never even noticed the the size of the doors on the 3 door till I read about it here.
