Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead

The basic Sedan Yaris and besic Sedan Corolla are about 845 $ apart.

On Toyota's site

http://www.toyota.ca/cgi-bin/WebObje...2findex%2ehtml

Wait for page to load properly, then put your mouse over the sedan yaris and then the corolla. Less than 1000$ apart.

13,990 $ for the SEDAN yaris
14,835 $ for the Corolla

You get a bigger motor, bigger car, more comfort, more power, just about as good mileage per gallon, new model, and you get more when you eventually trade it in.

Don't get me wrong, I had a Yaris and liked it, but why not pay 845$ more for a Corolla

The Yaris Sedan's starting price in my area is $12,965. The Corolla is $15,350. Thats a difference of over $2300. So maybe thats why I didnt buy one.

Because I didn't want to drive a car famous for being pokey and jamming up traffic. After ~35 years on Canadian roads I've learned the four cars to never get behind are...Corolla, Camry, Cadillac, Jaguar. The demographic who buy those models are typically ultra conservative, ultra cautious/paraniod types (I won't call them drivers) or just plain OLD. The newer Camry SE (for those who still have a pulse) thankfully being an exception.

Maybe my link didn't work...
try this one

http://www.toyota.ca/

then click on ENGLISH, then NEW Vehicles....let the page load... then put your mouse over each car and see the basic price for each model

Between the Yaris (sedan) and the Corolla, there is only 845$ difference.

Is there a bigger difference in price between these 2 models, in the US?

Why would I want a boring sedan that everyone in the world seems to own? I rarely see other Yarii on the road, but it seems that every other car that goes by is a Corolla. And bigger car isn't always better... Plus I love liftbacks.

I love the Yaris too, but it's as if you could get a Camry for 1000$ more than a Corolla and you'd still say no....

Yes, there is a "cool" factor here.

Corollas are very generic, whereas Yarii are much rarer birds and therefor draw attention all over the place. I doubt you will ever see as many Yarii as you do Corollas; but the one thing for sure is that a Yaris will grab your eye much more so than a Corolla!

Cheers! M2

I like the smaller size of the Yaris.

1. we just saved $845
2. it's not just another humdrum sedan.
3. "looks..matter" - marcus

Question: if you yourself have owned a yaris, then why did YOU buy it over that corolla? There's your answer right there.
