Breaking this out from the subcompact thread as I've noticed there are quite a few current or former Yaris drivers here at BITOG. We are thinking about a Yaris for our secondary/back up car to use for around town a few times a week but probably not a DD, and typically short drives.
Wanted to survey the crowd for any particular advice on what to watch for among the Yaris models from 2007-2011 or thereabouts. I understand the 2009 had a few safety upgrades and the 2010+ sounds like, on paper, a better car but I'm curious if there is really that big of a difference.
So what is the verdict? Solid, dependable, reliable sure...but anything in particular to keep in mind or known issues to watch for? What did you love about it or hate about it? Yaris drivers sound off! Thanks in advance.
