corolla = bland, common
yaris = funky, fresh

On a similar note - I could have had a Cherokee for not much more too, but I went for the Wrangler instead. It's over 10 years old and solid as a rock. |

I can average over 50 mpg on my Yaris, and I have more headroom. Easy choice for me. No Corolla's gonna get 50 mpg. Also, I paid exactly $11,000 for my Yaris LB with the Convenience Package. No Corolla goes for that price.

Own it in which way? I suppose the enormous 0.3 liter volume advantage will certainly smoke the tires. As for fuel economy, er, the Yaris engine is much better. As for reliability, er, the Yaris engine has decades of proven reliability. As for dual cams, er, they take more power to run and have double the moving parts to break. I dunno...I would rather have the Yaris engine personally.

2. 41 mpg is good. 52 is better. 3. Anecdotal evidence is not valid evidence. People have blown up Corollas too. and specifically what do you mean by "blew up?" Do you mean that the engine literally spontaneously exploded in a giant fireball? Or, were there any other issues, such as driving style, load, temperature, maintenance, etc., that drove it to fail? If you were driving down the street tand the perfectly-maintaine engine suddenly and spontaneously burst into flames in a giant burst of fireball, then I would call Toyota. you probably have a giant lawsuit settlement awaiting you too, not to mention a worldwide recall! |

the 2000 PRIZM ( Corolla ) with 5 speed manual that we traded in for the '08 L.B. got 43.3 m.p.g. not long before the purchase of the '08 5 speed manual L.B.. We almost decided to turn around the night we went and picked up the L.B. due to the gas mileage the PRIZM was getting , even at 90,000 + miles . Wasn't even trying that hard to get that mileage , so may have done better than it's all time best of 43.3 m.p.g. . Wonder if it was trying to tell us something . Miss that car .

Sorry , but I / we have a hard time buying those averaging 50+ m.p.g. with their YARII . Think I may have stepped knee deep in a pile of steamy fresh cra*p that's gonna hit the fan and head my way . Let it rip .

Sorry you have a hard time buying it. But it is true. Would a photograph of my ScanGuage II at 52mpg work? I really do. I am a hypermiler. I get 50 +. It is entirely possible with a combination of the right factors.

just how accurate is the SCANGUAGE ? I too hypermile as much as possible , we had a '07 PRIUS that we learned this procees on and even with that 50+ m.p.g. could be a chore to get .

The ScanGuage II is very accurate. Plus, when I manually do the math at the pump, it matches the ScanGuage II's numbers.

Well, honestly, it is not that hard. Hypermiling techniques help alot. Also I have a manual transmission. I use cruise control set to 60 mph on the flat interstate, no auxilaries on, I make heavy use of DFCO, I keep the tires inflate well, etc. I am sorry if you do not believe me; that is your prerogative. But I get 52 mpg quite often.
