Now I Really Can't Decide!!! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

bnther36 · 05-30-2007, 01:58 PM

I was pretty much in the same position as you; couldn't decided which one I wanted to buy. It all came down for me in what exactly I was going to use it for. I drive 400+ miles a week and the sedan actually felt better to me after driving it for 3 hours straight. The LB is a sharp looking car but I think the sedan is a better long distance commuter. They both park pretty well, and they both get great mileage, but for me the ride decided it.

I hope to pick up my sedan here in the next week; provided I don't change my mind again.

Sedan pros - has 4 doors, tach, and cruise

Sedan cons - looks pretty much like any other sedan

LB pros - hatchback offers the utility of a small minivan, rock star-like charisma

LB cons - doesn't have 4 doors, tach, or cruise

I've driven both and I much prefer the LB, but I'm waiting for the '08 to come out to see if it'll have more options available (like a tach and cruise).

The LB is unique, the sedan is boring. All the Yaris S sedan gets you is a body kit. Puhleese!!! Like everyone else... Wait for 08 models and there "should" be a tach and cruise if Toyota has any sense at all. With those 2 items the Yaris LB would be the perfect commuter car that is fun to drive!

Everyone does realize this is the same car right? I am just saying they are both awesome cars. I like the sedan a buit more then I like the LB but that doesnt mean I didnt look at the LB. they both are great affordable cars that are fun to drive. So stop your bashing everyone.

Technically, that's incorrect (I think). They're actually two different cars with the same name. They were developed by two different design teams. They have some interchangeable parts, but not really the same car.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here!

That looks hot as hell! Very good photoshop and that looks like one of the coolest kits to transform a car ever!

Eh... You don't get much of a sedan for the price range of a Yaris IMO. The Mazda 3 is a better option, but runs in at around $5k more. I agree with the statement that "the hatchback IS the Yaris". But this IS "Yaris World", which means Sedan owners are welcome too and they still have a great car.

If I wanted to spend $5K more, I wouldn't be looking at the Mazda 3. I'd go for Motor Trend's car of the year for '06.....the Civic.

different aerodynamics.. same heart and other body parts. liftback four door is actually lighter than sedan and two door..just a tad,.
