#1 It's absolutely adorable. No other car out there looks like it.
#2 It's a Toyota. It's reliability is pretty much guaranteed.
#3 The color. It's bright, young, vibrant, and matches me.
#4 The price. One of the lowest priced cars on the road.
#5 The mileage. 40 mpg, need I say more?
#6 The stares and questions. "What IS that, anyway?"
#7 The handling. It's better than a go-kart or MINI Cooper.
#8 The storage compartments. Where can I hide my stuff today?!
#9 The body length. I can park in a spot that your car can't :) Sucker!
#10 Cause it's a Yaris. And it's the greatest car ever! 'Nuff said.

You pretty much listed everything there is. And I agree on almost all points except 3, 7 and 10.

#3 - I didn't get to pick the color. They only had two liftbacks with manual transmission and power package - meteorite metallic and black metallic. Black one was being sold when I showed up at the dealeship.

#7 - I agree that Yaris handles very good. But Mini is a little devil when it comes to handling. And its wheels aren't wider either! Its body is shorter than Yaris' by an inch or so.
So unless you put wider tires on Yaris and replace suspension, it's no match for Mini handling wise.

#10 - Time will tell.

And I'd like to add an 11th point.

#11 - My primary motivation for getting a Yaris LB was my obsession with little cars. I just don't see myself driving anything bigger anymore.

It wasnt that bad. at least your alive and with no deformations on you haha

chickmagnet8301 · 01-15-2007, 04:42 PM

Because the car is hot and it is great on mileage. I can afford the payments is also a big plus.

Pars · 01-15-2007, 07:42 PM

Cause Honda pissed me off when they dropped the cheapo double wishbone civic and the Yaris looks nicer then the Fit and is just as sporty.

bugnuts · 01-15-2007, 08:16 PM

I just fell in love with the looks of the little bastard! Then I drove one and realized that it was more than just your average compact- The legroom, headroom, quickness, handling, and just the fact that it does not look like every other car on the road. I have not found anything in its class that i would trade for now.

That's the one!!!

Well, I had an old Ford Festiva for my daily econo drive, that I didn't trust much after 100 thou. miles, and didn't drive much. But my SUV only gets 17 mpg. The Yaris LB looked like the perfect replacement, but when I checked the area dealer, they didn't have one yet. He called me a couple of days later with an S Sedan with power package, spoiler and 5-speed that he thought I should see, and it was love at first sight/drive. I've gotten 37-41 mpg over the 11,000 miles we've been together so far, and I still grin a little when I see her in the parking lot after a long day at work. The SUV only pulls the boat now, and the Yaris is a joy for a daily drive. I agree that the standard sedan looks kind of not so hot, but the S with the spoiler, she's pretty sweet for me.

He's the resident redneck... he didn't pay anything for it. He traded in 10 used F150's, none with wheels.
