2020 Yaris Hatchback for the US

[yarisbug]

I just bought a new 2019 Yaris hatch manual (Canada). Didn't want GDI injection, didn't want a Mazda. Fortunately you can still get the Toyota made hatch here, I suspect we'll get the Mazda hatch for 2020 although that's not confirmed yet.

Oh "boo hoo", for the whiners.

Those claiming that "Mazda will bring Toyota down", check out how well regarded the Yaris iA is by Comsumer Rpoerts. Sure enthusiasts can say "I don't care", but CR is looked to by most paying customers, who are mainly looking for reliability. No, they are not "rusting", nor "bringing Toyota down".

"The badge may say Toyota, but this car is built by Mazda and uses Mazda parts. That's a good thing. Related to the Mazda CX-3, it brings frugality, but not at the expense of ride comfort and driving enjoyment like past Toyota econoboxes. With the Yaris iA, Toyota has done away with the bare-bones economy car, delivering something fresh and fun... "

And one more thing, the 2019 Yaris, which is only the Mazda based sedan, was rated "Best Subcompact Car for 2019".

So, get over it, IMHO. :-)

no mods for the yaris sedan, drove one and its shifts like crap, cause the dealer let me do a shake down, like a real one and its just all flash and trying to be premium, like a hipster with maxed out credit cards wearing gucchi premium. its ride is soft and it doesnt soak up lumps right.

the little knobby crap thing was annoying and the non touch screen had horrible sunlight vision and no adjustability. sportmode was a joke and its visibility is crud.

i just want a 3door like the one i teased in the leaks even if its a watered down version so i can get an 2200 pound hatchback and upgrade from my one now, plus with GRMN support supposidly it would mean i wouldnt have to stick to my old clunker and could probabyl get leather and heated seats and all that jazz, cuz that bubble body is wooooo wee pretty, maybe, if its the 2008 version updated for toyotas useage then hell yeah its nice.

The car isn't nearly old enough to determine its reliability based off of CR. I agree Mazda isn't a bad brand from a reliability standpoint (sans rust) but to claim it's been shown to be reliable on a car that has only been out a small amount of years is silly. Remind of the Chevy commercials shoving virtually meaningless JD Power porn in our faces

Consumer Reports, lol. Are you kidding me? They are as pretentious, biased & bought as the so-called professional movie critics who fawned over garbage movies like The Black Panther, etc. Also, they believe that all the tech-bloat sensor 'safety features' that are only useful for self-driving cars & cars being driven by distracted idiots is what makes or breaks a 'good car'. It's laughable. Have fun with those flawed GDI engines, turbos & crappy push-belt CVTs that they love so much because they are 'more modern' & get 2 more MPG (at least until they prematurely break or get sludged up).

If you want a good feel for how a car really is, go read the forums of various models & how owners convey their first-hand experiences with them after owning them for a while. The iA forums are a real mixed bag, with a big thread dedicated to transmission problems & failure within the first several years, and other various build quality-problem threads. Sounds like when you buy one, it is a potluck special on whether you get a decent one or a bad one. Same with the Honda HR-V.

more failure and more trans problems = more money

The technicians I was chatting with at the local Toyota dealer were telling me how much they hate the iA and that they have a lot of trans and electrical issues.

its a pretty crummy car, i test drove a 2016 when i was buying my 2015 yaris and its really all flash and stuff. the dealer wanted 18 grand for it, got it, floored it and it went like stink. its a good car for an older person or a teenage driver like a girl or something but outside of that, it doesnt have the same potential as the liftbacks do. smaller cramped engine bay, uncofortable seats, soft wiggly ride, ass that bounces all over the place.

Haters. Lol

Have had a 2011 M2 hatch for 6 years. Was a great reliable car, plenty power to get it moving. Auto transmission wasn't great, so was the Yaris 4AT.

I can't wait to see how a new M2/Yaris HB with 6MT performs. I know the GDI engine is kind of a let down...

I'm eyeing a 2020 Corolla HB base 6MT ;)

Personally, I don't really care if a car is a 4-door or 2-door because I don't have any kids or passengers, nor don't I plan to - so my rear seat is nothing more than cargo area for groceries during the hot summer A/C months (& 4 doors is easier to access it) I do think that the side profile on the 4-door Yaris hatch looks better than that of the 2-door hatch though, so I'm glad the SE came as a 4 door. I also don't tend to drive like I'm being chased by the police, so I don't think the chassis strength between the two versions is significant enough to worry about in my case.

[myfirstyota]

Well .... I'm semi inserting my foot in my mouth. A quick google of the subject KINDA shows you may be right weeyari. Rates are based on safety, driver record etc. But IF 2 door cars are typically involved in more accidents, you may pay more. But it appears premiums aren't just higher cause there's 2 doors.

[WeeYari]

I spent most of my professional life in the IT department of a major Canadian insurer. Worked extensively in the data analytics and programs involved in managing rating. I hear a lot of misconceptions which are mostly fueled by the hate and mistrust directed toward insurers. It is after all, the greatest cash outlay in our lives which, if you are lucky, will never give you anything in return.

Yea I'm one of them. Can't stand the bastards. Jack your rates for no reason, then when you call to cancel they can magically offer you a rate lower than what you were paying. Every 2 years i have to switch companies for the lowest rate. No sense in paying more than you have to when you know the only time they pay out without a fight is if you were rear ended sitting at a red light. I have no trust, faith, or good things to say about insurance companies. Government sponsored fraud.

Also, four doors are great for non-human passengers. Great for transporting pets, which is why I have the four-door.

In Europe the next Mazda 2 will be a rebadged Yaris.
