Welcome! :) Sure, I'll repost some stuff if it helps.
Pros: - Absolutely the best looking subcompact car in the US. Love the hatchback style. - Good reliability ratings, - Toyota name and quality on a budget. - Great handling in corners - quiet engine Great little car overall, would definitely recommend it to a friend! Cons: - Not as much power as I'd like (1.8L would have been ideal), but if it's your first car, you may not mind. When I say power, I don't mean speed, though. The Yaris has plenty of speed in her, it's just that it may take her longer to get there than another car with a bigger engine. - Wind tends to toss the car around (some forums members have found that a rear bar helps?). - Clutch - if you get a Manual Transmission - is touchy. You get used to it after a while, but it DOES take getting used to ! Be sure to test drive the car first, so you can decide if you want to put up with the clutch or get an automatic instead. - No tach, no rear hatch release (no big deal, though). I bought my Yaris 2 months ago, no regrets. Oh, yeah, about what to do or not to do: decide in advance what options you're going to purchase, how much you can pay for, and say no to last minute add-ons. Keyless entry, etc., can always be added later, cheaper. I let the dealership do it as a last minute add-on, and it cost me a bit more. Good luck ! |
