^^^ Yup. All that and more... but I don't want to hijack the thread with all the reasons I'm enjoying a small SUV.
If I told you which compact SUV I'm seriously considering for my next car, you'd all be shocked! Heck, I surprised myself when I fell in love with the car after borrowing it for a week. |

Although it sells well in other markets, the demise of the Yaris in the US was inevitable. It's an old-tech, low-tech, econobox hatchback... everything most Americans find unappealing and objectionable in a new car. But, these very things and it's bullet-proof reliability (and low cost of maintenance) are precisely why we all love this little car. Plus, Toyota has made a few hideous cosmetic changes the past few years that rendered the car even more polarizing, and has virtually done zero to promote the Yaris, which we all know is a great car. Pity.
*** BTW, not the Macan, Kona, or HRV. |

Can't say I really follow your logic. I'm basing mine on sales trends

it doesnt sell well because they dont add the telecoping steering wheel part that the rest of the US and japan and aus get so people dont buy it because you cant adjust the wheel front and back making it a very hard car to drive thats not worth 18k loaded.

Here in Aus the base model is the volume seller. Only the higher spec models get the telescoping steering column. In the base model, it only adjusts for height.

It is here, but i cant find a model without electric power steering.
http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/gr/...mn-shaft#45250 They can be found quite cheap on ebay, try contact some UK sellers for shipping to US. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...fLoc=3&_sop=15

I had that idea that the US 1,5 was with hydralic power steering.

mines a 2015 its power electrically assisted aka power steering. it just has a low speed controller that increases turning radius and tightens the gear ratio. its also a rack and pinion if anyone was wondering about the quirks and features.

Mind of Toyota
Zero attempt to sell any Yaris of any year in my region. I didn't even know what a Yaris was until seeing an ad for a ten year old 2007 on Craigslist. (I had a Tercel and a Corolla, and knew that the Echo was Tercel's replacement vehicle.)

Wouldn't surprise me, back when I sold Toyotas, I never sold a real Yaris (sold a few Yaris iA) in the 3.5 years I sold cars. The US is all about bigger cars, specifically SUVs and CUVs. That's why Ford won't be selling any sedans/cars aside from the Mustang, and will just sell trucks and SUVs. Chevy and Cadillac are killing off many of their sedans, including the Cruze (wouldn't have thought that).
