I recently bought 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan with an automatic transmission, and have drove my parents 2004 automatic Honda Civic EX before my purchase (I did not own the civic). The Yaris came with the power package. Besides not being in the same auto class, there are specific differences that should be pointed out. Positives for the Civic: 1) The Civic has more standard features. 2) The Civic has way more power (Based on my driving experience and official numbers at www.edmunds.com) 3) The odometer is put in the center of the Yaris. For a young driver like myself it is not a problem, but for older drivers who are set in their ways it can be a problem. Positives for the Yaris: 1)The Yaris feels more spacious(Leg and hip room) 2)The Yaris cost $3,000 less than the Civic ($15,000 to $18,000) 3) Insurance for the Yaris cost less!(May vary with driving record). The MPG are closely matched with the Yaris better in the city by 4 MPG and the Civic on the highway by 1 MPG. Even though I am very happy with my purchase, the Civic still wins because of horsepower (34 more horsepower) and more standard features offered. |

Look at the car ads, and you'll see that the yaris sells for more than a similarly equipped accent, even with the price of gas being so high now, also if you read the customer reviews, you will see there are a few accent owners reporting problems with their accents and none for yaris
