Who plans on trading for a 2012? (Liftback) - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

daddz07 · 02-24-2011, 03:51 AM

Me too!! I will not sell or get rid of my Yaris 08 even if its 15-20 yrs old as long as it runs. I even both my wife the saem car i have but 2009 model. Now we both have the same car and i ask her she can go with the meet and greet plans with Yaris world.

I finally get rid of the highlander. Too much gas spent!! yAris all the way. But not the 2012 model.

Looking to buy my first Yaris this year, but it's going to be '07-'08 model, newer ones have too many electrionic grannies controlling traction, throttle, and braking for my likeing. I'll stick with the good ol' human controlled version for now.

PumpkinSteve · 02-24-2011, 03:21 PM

If the new Yaris offers a good engine, something similar to the dual VVTI 1.8 from the Yaris SR, then I will buy. But at the moment I'm torn between the 2012 Swift Sport and the 2012 Yaris.

TwoBearWisconsin · 02-24-2011, 07:54 PM

From what I can see on-line, I like the new one just fine, but I'm not in the market for a new car. Plus, my 2010 has some features - center mounted gauges and multiple glove boxes - that I would miss if I got the new one.

I'm keeping my 07 HB. I first fell for the design! but have made mods to make it drive how I like it. I would hope someone would correct me, but my understanding has been that this first Gen car was designed in Europe and subsequesnt design changes have been made in Japan. this would explain the appeal of the orginal design....change that to correct original design.
the newer design coming looks like a blend of ideas and becomes very bland and generic. the back pillar does not even fit with the design of the front.
the inside dash has become bland and very plastic looking.
I would definitely look elsewhere when it's time for a new car.

Honestly, the only car that I don't already have that attracts my attention is the 2000-2006 Honda Insight:

61 city/70 hwy mpg EPA rating for the 5 spd manual. And designed for my kind of traveling. (Just me, my dog, and, and our luggage.) It's just perfect. And the only car in ever sold in the US that gets better fuel economy than the one I travel in now.

damn angry yaris is scary.

i m not really sure about which one are better looking, but im sure will miss all that glove box that old yaris have. though i wish toyota can provide cheap upgrading for us who want to keep our yaris

CL4C · 05-09-2011, 04:25 PM

I am keeping mine, simply because I've paid a lump sum on the car and I want to maximize its use. As for the look, I do agree that the 06/07 model is cute and unique.

solarVitz · 05-10-2011, 11:48 PM

no thanks. im keeping my 08 LiftBack S for a very longgggg time.

SKurj · 05-11-2011, 09:28 AM

Keeping my 09 another 3-4 years then buying the FT if its financially within reach. Only reason I just bought the 09 was because my 04 Echo already had 260,000kms on it and with the FT delayed... wanted to be sure I had decent wheels to get me another 3-4 years.

Hmm..Take a Honda fit, weld some Versa bits onto it...
And you now have the un-natural marriage of the 2 as the 2012 Yaris...

No thanks... Dear Wife and I are keeping Bebe' for a long time..

Trubin · 05-21-2011, 10:10 PM

Too fancy for me. Though 'd love to see some pics of the coupe version.

Yar15 · 05-23-2011, 05:21 AM

For some Yaris could be good choice, if they offer 4wd in Europe and Us too.

padre1964 · 05-24-2011, 08:21 PM

at nearly $4 a gallon for gas in Atlanta, i'm going to have this car for a long time

reggaetonfreak · 05-29-2011, 07:15 PM

Im in japan at the moment and got to say that it looks better in person. The lines are slick, specially the RS version. Im still gonna keep my 07 since the new one it doesnt have the same functionality. Plus, my 07 is paid off already, no more payments , yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Im stationed in japan at the moment, my Yaris is in storage, only 15000 miles on the odometer, cant wait to drive it again!

hoperrs · 06-23-2011, 09:49 AM

Mine is paid off now, too. I will be keeping it as long as possible. I want to get full value as it was quite a premium to get the RS version.
