Replying to: boris13 (Dec 04, 2006 9:00 am) That depends. I've never had an instance where something I was carrying was too big for my Corolla, but could fit in a Yaris just because of it's hatch configuration. Now the Matrix, that's a different story. There are numerous real world items I deal with on occasion that would fit in a Matrix, but not fit in either a Corolla or a Yaris hatch. I really think the utility of the Yaris is somewhat overstated. IMO - It really can't fit anything in it that most people need even somewhat regularly that couldn't fit into a Corolla.

| Right now I would say that the 2007 Yaris has the 2007 Corolla beat for overall value (Better MPG, exterior design, and less expensive). I don't think I will be able to say the same when the 2008 Corolla verses the 2007 Yaris. 2008 Corolla is expected to have better MPG than the 2007 model, more horsepower, and better exterior design. Combined with the standard features like Antilock breaks, the 2008 Corolla seems like would be a better deal than a 20007 Yaris. | |

Replying to: beantown (Dec 05, 2006 7:50 am) Dogs. Two good-sized dogs will fit in the back of a Yaris hatch with the seat folded down. It would be cruel to put my dogs in the trunk of a Corolla or any car. And yes, the Matrix has space for dogs, but that car costs too much.

building a bunch of Corolla LEs right now with just SAB and curtains, the EVP with 6-disc changer, ABS, and alloys. That car has a sticker of $17,760 (manual shift, including dest). With the routine discounts on that model right now, it would be easy to pick up for $16K. If you could even find a Yaris with SAB/curtains and ABS, equipping it to the level of that Corolla would put the price more like $17K, or about $1000 more. Not to mention, I am rather partial tio the Optitron meters of the Corolla LE, and isn't keyless entry extra-cost on the Yaris too? Which would add another $200 to the Yaris price, but would be included in the Corolla. If you want the hatch, there's no contest. But if you want the sedan, Yaris is going to be a hard sell strictly on the numbers until the redesigned Corolla arrives in 15 months. There is still the fact that Corolla is around every corner, while the Yaris is relatively unique, not to mention the Yaris has handling that is more spry than the Corolla's. Plus, there's the 2-point advantage in mpg for the Yaris.

Without knowing it, you just made an argument for the Corolla and against the Yaris. The back seat of the Corolla is fine for two dogs, while you maintain the use of the trunk for groceries or anything else you may not want the dogs to get into. If you are folding down the Yaris hatch seats, then you are losing the use of those back seats and you are risking your groceries to the dogs.

Replying to: beantown (Dec 06, 2006 7:45 am) No, better to have them in the rear compartment of a hatchback with a flat, durable surface. Containment would be much better in a hatchback. And one egress option (i.e., in/out through the hatch) is probably also better than having two (the rear doors of a sedan), considering that the dogs will bolt and run if they see the chance.
