I'm not kidding, theres a lever on the left side of the driver's seat that tilts up the driver's seat. I can take a pic of it after work if you like. It's actually the first thing my salesman showed me before getting into the car.

Yep, when I have it all the way up, my head almost touches the ceiling. this is on a base model too.

So please tell me your likes and dislikes?

How is the gas milege?

What do I like?
I have a silver 4 door (not the S) w/ the power package with 15in steel wheels.

1. Space, the interior is large and comfortable, the trunk is HUGE
2. Mileage, I average 34mpg
3. Ride, the coupe is stable and fairly quiet on the road
4. Looks, I prefer the 4 doors looks.
5. Features, I have power locks and windows, ABS, and Cruise control

I love this car..

do I have to choose just one? cause I like both the unique style and nice brakes...

SLIK4 · 05-15-2007, 06:17 PM

mpg most
quick for what it is
interior space and looks

dislikes
exterior looks r gonna take some getting used to but that can be changed

Basscat · 05-15-2007, 11:19 PM

I've got an S with the spoiler, power package, ABS, and 5 speed, and I love the way it looks, 38 - 42 mpg in my normal driving, plenty of room for my large 6' frame, and pretty good handling for a budget minded car. It's not a Ferrari, but within the speed limits I can zip around OK by choosing the right gear. For the price, and for the MPG, I love this car.

jamal1984 · 05-15-2007, 11:41 PM

i almost got kill on a Corolla without ABS last year, so ABS IS A MUST for me. I look at the LB and i think that thing will kill me right away if i got hit by SUV or a Truck. I feel more secure in Sedan. But LB got an awesome look from the side, but front and back.....negative.

thomasward00 · 05-16-2007, 12:51 AM

I have a Silver NON S Sedan, I don't like body kits they start looking bad after a couple years, I'm about to put some 16 inch rims on mine soon. The 2dr HB looks like an Egg, the Sedan looks like a baby Camry, it's much smoother with Tint and some rims. But I do like the 4dr hatchback in other markets, the 2dr hatch looks like a coffin on wheels. I also don't understand the point of a M/T in the yaris, it's not a sports car and with the auto you're only loosing 1 mpg, but to each his own.

Typer73 · 05-16-2007, 01:12 AM

Screw ABS... I love my liftback!

SLIK4 · 05-16-2007, 05:37 PM

i agree once u get used to it not having abs isn't any big deal. i think the sedan looks like a jellybean, but i still luv

I love my ABS and my Liftback, but I wish I had side curtain airbags!

I'm not a sedan person. I like the versitility of a liftback. I feel like the sedan cheats the owners out of space. Try fitting a dishwasher in a sedan.

HINT: Fagedabowdit!

Sedans remind me of the Taurus, Impala, G6, Camry... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

fearturtle44 · 05-17-2007, 11:49 AM

Yaris S/auto/Flint Mica. Very nice car. Love the ABS for security but do wish I had the side curtain. Also love how this budget car is very quiet and has a b/b- sound system. Not bad for an inexpensive car. Fog lights are more for show, don't really add much light to the road.

what i like about my sedan

Cheap monthly payments
cheap of gas

reliable

looks great with the aero pkg.

the size is just couple inches from a corolla

the interior space is awsome

and some good performance parts are available

i like the sedans more conservative appearance. it makes it that much more fun to see the look on peoples faces when i kick their @$$ off the line.

I have a flint mica S sedan with no wing, steel wheels (that I replaced with heliums), manual transmission, cruise control, ABS, power package, and upgraded trim. I paid 15900 after taxes.

I've never gotten below 42 mpg.

I concur with most that's been said. I bought the sedan 'cause I think it's better looking than the LB. Personally I think the LB is a bit generic looking, but what the hell.

My favorite thing is cruise with the manual tyranny -- nice and smooth, with no gear changes on account of an automatic.

Yes, it has a seat hight adjustment -- I keep mine on the lowest setting and I'm 5'10"

Seats are supportive and comfortable. Mp3 deck and speakers sound just fine. Plenty loud for road conditions.

Interior is a bit wonky. cubby holes and cup holders are sufficient, tho not terribly well thought out.

Road noise is higher than say a Corolla. Corolla's seem better made IMHO.

But that Yaris is well made for what you're paying. Tho, I have developed a rattle under the speedometer somewhere. *shrugs*

The engine is quiet and responsive. It has plenty of power. I don't understand that criticism. I can often accidentally end up doing 65 if I don't use cruise. Just 10 years ago, 106 Hp for a 1.5L would have been unheard of. It will easily pull up a good hill in 5th gear at highway speeds. It ain't no hot rod, but it easily beats all the other 4 cylinders I've driven over the years for noise, power, and responsiveness.

Clutch takes time to get used to -- like any clutch, but it's smooth and quite operable.

Lots of space. More than the Corolla.

There is one blind spot that ain't so hot -- right at the windshield pillar -- it's too wide. That's bad if you do a lot of curvy country roads like I do, where it pays to see the other lane around 90 degree turns.

Yes it blows around on the road. Get the NF210's and that will go away -- and the car looks lots better. It's a good 160 buck investment.

EATS BUGS! That big flat front end sucks em up like a mofo. I have a dark color so it doesn't matter that much, but my friend got silver and it always looks like the car has a bra of gnats on the front end -- no kidding, it's freakish how much that flat nose will collect.

There you go, the good, the bad, and the ugly I can think of at the moment.

Best car I've owned.

What are NF210's? - tires or springs or? where did you buy them at?
