It was a simple decision and I'm glad I purchased the Yaris. Had it for about a year now and ZERO problems.

As for your situation I would keep the Yaris. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

BTW I noticed your name "tdinut". Before I bought my Yaris I had a 2010 Golf TDI. Let's just say it was the other thing that convinced me to buy a Yaris. Good luck with your search.

Ha!

Yes, I bought a 2002 Jetta TDI diesel from a friend and was going to get a newer one but at about the time I was ready, there was a couple of year hiatus in NY for the VW diesels. It was a great car but was happy to get rid of it. The Jetta TDI replaced a Hyundai Elantra that someone in a SUV creamed the back of it. The trunk was destroyed but I still drove it until my friend was ready to sell me his VW. I picked up my 2008 Yaris the day after Thanksgiving 2007 and she's been great ever since. I still think about a diesel, but give me a carefree Yaris/Toyota/Honda etc, and I am happy. My diesel took half my commute to get warm. Ice on the windshield was a royal pain. My Toyota heats up pretty quickly, get 35-36 mpg avg for the week, even hitting 90 mph when I am late for work , and keeps on ticking.
