I'm not real sure, don't really use them, but I think they're talking about the little compartments in front of the vents? There are also compartments on each side of the console, in the middle, maybe that's it?
Coin-holders problems are like a non-issue for me, so I don't know. |

Compartments: two in front of air vents for cups; not so brilliant, since cups will block air. One in center console too shallow for anything. My little toy raccoon mascot lives there. Cup holder so far back between seat you have to contort or take eyes off road to use. Bottle holders right where you want to keep your maps (driver's side) and other reading material (newspaper/book for road trip passenger on the other side); don't try to put a cup there because the little graphic tells you NO cup; YES bottle! Finally, two little triangular compartments where, if you put money, it will disappear forever down inside the Yaris. Not right shape for a cell phone. Not sure what people do with these; I ended up decorating with a pretty pine cone and spruce sprig for winter. Maybe a robin's nest for spring... Ideas??? |

With in a week of owning my Yaris I was able to get the dealer to turn off my seal belt alarm. It took some arm twisting, however it was well worth the effort. Now when my old fat dog rides shot gun I have silence.

Oh, you mean the coin holder in the glove box?! I forgot about that one. That's a nice touch actually, away from sight, might use it. I didn't like that driver's glove box at first, but I love it now. I guess I haven't yet found all the compartments in the car, yet, but if you mean the weird holes on each the side of the console, I stick a travel pack of Kleenexes and the napkins I grab with my morning coffee in there. You never know when you're gonna need to wipe your hands, seems like a good spot for that. The coffee cup HOLDER in front of the vent is a little awkward, that's true, but not a big deal for me. My old honda didn't have any coffee cup holders at all, so one day, after spilling my coffee all over the passenger seat, I "made" one and tied it to the bottom passenger seat... coffee cups never spilled again, problem solved! The bottle compartments on the side doors are great, though! I carry a little water bottle around all the time, so that's a great feature for me! The cup holder in the back must be for passengers riding in the backseat. Probably won't use it either. |

Complaining about the car has become a big part of my online identity, I must admit... But mostly I was just answering the question, "What coin holders/compartments?" Glad you're content with so many compartments with so few practical applications; wasted space drives me bonkers!

My comments to Outterhere are in red. Outterhere...since you have so many complaints, did you road test and really check over the Yaris before you purchased it? Hard to believe you bought a car you do not like.

I don't think the Yaris the perfect car by any means, but for the price, it's a good car. The rest is a question of attitude, I suppose, you know, choose your battles, don't sweat the small stuff, all that good stuff. By the way, where is that picture of your beloved Swift?! |

I have no idea why I didn't think of that! The other day I was mid-way through changing the oil, and couldn't find my baggy of crush filters! This is the third (and thankfully) last time I will use that one, now that's a brilliant place to store them! |

Yeah, I can put just quarters in there, but then why have three separate divided compartments for one denomination? I can tell I'm the only poster here with a logical mind. My Swift was the 2000 hatch; silver. Can been seen on used cars.com (not the actual car, but a reasonable facsimile, including interior shots). Loved it. Why Yaris? Toyota reliability and smallest car out there other than Twofer. I test-drove it; I didn't live in it for a week. Upon closer examination, eh... |

I have to agree on one point, though, the interior of the Swift 200 looks a little more streamlined, visibility all around is good, size is truly sub-compact. but now I wonder why you sold it? You said it you had to. Why? Well built cars last a lot longer than 9 years. If it was already starting to ask for major repairs, then it couldn't have been such a well built car. |

The Swift isn't even an option on Suzuki's model list! lol Anyway.... Found a listing on AutoTrader and finally came up with an interior photo of the beloved Swift. Notice all the cupholders, compartments, ect... Also notice how the hatch opens by itself when it senses your presence and also how the passenger airbag will go off even with no passenger because it doesn't have that pesky sensor. Yes, the perfect little car! Sorry to beat up on you Otterhere (is it supposed to be "Outtahere"), but your complaints are pretty silly. Reminds me to much of "Caveatipse" who got banned more times than we can count. |
