I just traded my yaris for a 2015 corolla. I was simply ready for more room and more sedated highway cruising. the corolla is using an "old" platform and the same engines in all but the eco plus model. however, having owned a 10th gen corolla for 3 years, i can say the interior and NVH(even on the base model) is so far ahead of where it was its hard to believe.
using the same engines and platform for a long period lends itself to long term reliability/durability. my opinion is that the yaris suffers from having the most spartan looking interior in its class and a poorer than average noise/overall harshness intrusion into the cabin. if I had not gotten the deal I wanted, I was perfectly fine driving the yaris for a long time because I trusted it to do what I needed for a long time. still, I think with the next gen a better interior, a sheetmetal change, and a cvt that boast something like 32/42 will be a big help. imo, the platform and engine could remain. |

I should be a big SUV owner, but until they sell one for $16k and it gets 40 real world mpg on the highway, that's not happening. |

The road noise is really annoying at times, as where i live do not have the best roads.

Echo/Yaris are at home in urban areas. The road noise isn't a big deal for me; the crappy seats are.
Most of what makes these cars good won't show up in anything but a long-term test. It took about a year, but the Echo went from one of my most hated cars, to one which I would gladly purchase again if the 9th gen Rollas weren't so much easier to find and a better value!

Toyota has installed a very sophisticated anti-road noise system in the later model Yaris, the controls of which sit in the center of the dash, just above the heat-A/C controls. It even comes with a very useful intensity control knob. Properly adjusted it prevents me from hearing any outside noise.

Ive twisted the knobs on that contraption. Found its effectiveness decreases with speed. ..absolutely no effect above 50mph no matter how hard Jimmy Buffet is trying.

I 3rd that. If I was to stay in the economy compact segment there would have to be some serious custom upgrades for me to even consider a GM in the segment. Even then I would only consider.

I am the same way, I would consider a Ford before a GM. The Spark has some reliability issues from what I have heard.

My biggest curiosity is why with today's manufacturing facilities GM doesn't bother to take the honest blame that they cut corners and do not perform dye diligence when engineering parts as well as proper QA on parts from 3rd parties. Especially when those 3rd parties have noted defect issues in the past.
