#1302 of 2694 Custom orders by gwsch Apr 22, 2006 (4:45 pm)
My dealer just placed a special Liftback order for a customer - 150 day wait estimated while it is built in Japan and shipped here.

chesscat on the Yaris ride and handling. I suspected that you were positive on it and now I know for sure. I'm still excited about the Yaris sedan, then. Sometimes I think that car magazine reviewers are spoiled by the "exotic" brands and don't give an honest, unbiased review on the new economy cars. I'm not really sure that they are even good drivers from the dorky things they write.   Doesn't work for me because all I am interested in are the small economy cars, SUV's and crossovers. So there you go. I have to be the final judge on what I decide to buy regardless of what others say or write or even think about the rig I like and eventually buy.   Fortunately the Barcelona Red and Nautical Blue 5-speed Yarii sedans are not selling while I drag my feet about pouncing on them.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 22, 2006 10:45 am) Hi, I bought a 4 door sedan saturday 4/16/04 , I was in the market for a new car and being 6'4" tall man I needed room, i wanted a new corolla but after sitting in it with driver seat all the way back and adjustable steering all the way up , i was cramped, did not feel comfortable at all, as i was used to my 98 avalon (my trade in) 80,000 miles on it got $4000 trade, but anyway my wife noticed this cute little car sitting over across from the corollas, we asked the sales man what is that , because neither of us had heard of the yaris at that point, he said its new just came out its called a yaris, so we decided to get in it , I was shocked it actually had more room for me than the corolla , with the seat all the way back and seat reclined somewhat I was very comfortable, so I said get the keys I want to drive it we drove it around town and took it on the highway it cruised at 70 mph very nicely the ride was good ( not the best) suspension was a little stiff but overall good handled real good cornered real good, I fell in love and bought it, it was one of two that they had i bought the automatic (wife) its real zippy so I can say this car will do good on the american market,, LOVE IT !

Replying to: ctyankee1 (Apr 22, 2006 7:40 am) I just ordered a hatchback (meteorite metallic)with convenience package only here in Las Vegas. Total price came out to be $12,420 plus tax. Estimated delivery time is 6 to 8 weeks on the low side and 12 weems on the high side. Replies to this message: ctyankee1 (Apr 24, 2006 2:59 am)

wow, congratulations on your new Yaris sedan! I'm surprised you have that much room for your frame but that's a good thing. Sounds like it drives and handles nicely, too.   A Yaris is waiting over there for me.

Replying to: chesscat (Apr 22, 2006 11:56 am) Hi, I just got a Yaris liftback and it is beautiful. The reaction from others has been all positive. The car is an optical illusion, on the outside it looks small but inside, because of the large wheel base, it is very spacious. I'm 6.4, and fit better in it than most larger cars, this with 2 large Golden Retrievers in the back seat and a $120.00 of groceries in the back area. As for looks, I think the car looks like a race car designed for the moon! I love it! I've had 3 people come over and ask me all about it. I dare say Toyota will re-think the 80/20 split on production of the sedan versus the liftback. While the liftback is unique the sedan is simply another Camry/ Corolla spin off. That is my take. As for driving , it is a beauty to drive and is exceptionally safe. I feel it is the perfect car for our times!

Replying to: frugal_one (Apr 22, 2006 6:50 am) How funny! I am looking for exactly the same car as you! Toyota is seriously skimping on building the liftbacks. I still face my own internal dilemma if a BB liftback 5-speed with convenience package comes along - what to do about the cruise.   There IS a dealer near me that has a sedan in blue with a stick, and it's loaded up to include cruise. The sticker is $16,000 flat. Power package etc. For that money, I say to myself "go with the Corolla for the same money, it will be quieter on long road trips and have a better stereo".....or maybe the Fit, for $500 less?

Replying to: ctyankee1 (Apr 22, 2006 7:40 am) Have any of these actually been sold in CT yet? I run from Berlin to Stamford on the Merritt and up I-95 to Bridgeport 6 nights a week and haven't seen a Yaris except for pictures! Replies to this message: ctyankee1 (Apr 24, 2006 3:04 am)

Replying to: nvarch1 (Apr 23, 2006 11:09 am) I know that all the yarii I've found (either through dealer inventory searches or by going after-business hours to see competitors' inventory out front) in my area are also outfitted with the cold weather package. I haven't been by the New Haven dealership with the liftbacks, but I would like to do so for curiousity's sake and to compare a drive with the sedan model.   I share the experience of another poster on this blog who simply saw a Yaris while vehicle shopping for somehting like a Scion Xa in order to get better gas mileage than my 2002 Subaru Legacy. I drove a base Yaris that had arrived that day at the dealership. Not even the saleman knew much. All I knew was that I loved in the test drive! That was about 4 weeks ago, and they gave up trying to locate one for me, and I am waiting for their next allotment shipment, which has already arrived in NJ. I am anxious to see if they get any liftbacks among them.

Replying to: wave54 (Apr 23, 2006 6:24 pm) I also drive those corridors on business as well as commute along 91 to Hartford. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any except for those on the automobile haulers going north on 91! There is usually one among the batch. Of course, I'm sure the driver wonders what a middle-aged lady is doing following him and studying the inventory so intently! I also have to wonder where they are going as I patiently wait...
