I would expect a tach at least would be on the S trim line. Cruise would be real nice also, as would a driver's seat height adjuster (standard on the sedan), and standard 60/40 rear seat that slides (my '85 Civic had that). And side airbags, and maybe even ABS like the xD. But that would bump up the price of the Yaris near that of the xD. Maybe they could make up for it partly by making A/C optional. I'd rather do without A/C than stuff like side airbags, but maybe that's because I live in Minnesota.

I agree that it needs the cruise control and the 60/40 rear seat (per Backy) as standard, but that's about it. You can add a Scanguage II for $160 that will give you the tach function and about 30 other functions along with it. A 5 door hatch would also be nice, but apparently is out of the question. If you listen to Al Bore, you won't have to worry about winters much longer in Minnesota anyway. I think that standard A/C is almost a necessity, even if you don't use (like me), because it hurts resale so much, due to fact that it is so expensive to install it at a later date.

I'm in agreement with the MT's perspective on the Accent and the Yaris. As a matter of fact, my report card had given a 6/10 on the Accent and 5/10 on the Yaris. My son pointed out the face of the Yaris is just too goofy looking for him - well, that one is certainly off his list, as I continue to help him looking for his first car.

The front of the Toyota Yaris sedan looked

kind of like a smiling...ummm...dolphin? Or clown?
To me it's not a horrible look, kind of impish and clown-ish in a non-offensive sort of way. Just like Toyota and another shady reason why I just can't seem to dig actually spending real pesos on a Toyota product.

Don't know if you guys...

...are referring to the looks of the sedan or the liftback (the two models actually have different front ends), but I actually love the looks of the liftback. The sedan looks to much like the Corolla for my tastes (nothing wrong with the Corolla by any means, but that's what I have now and I'm going for something with a bit different look). If you haven't seen one yet, you should check out the look of the liftback with either the 15" factory alloys, or some nice 16" or 17" aftermarket wheels. It makes a big difference.

This is one of the main reasons I favor the Accent SE. And you had stated, larger wheels (standard 16s), along with sport-tuned suspension, close to the level of the Tib. The sport shifter just makes it so much fun. Maunal of course

The Yaris lift

is classicly cute. Overall it has a pleasing, cute shape. If a LB was what I wanted(I need a 4-door rig)then I would've test drove a Yaris LB when new-car shopping five months ago. The front end design and shaping looks better on the LB than the sedan, IMO.

I agree, the Yaris hatch is really a cute car. I think my daughter would love the looks of it (my next car will go to her in a few years). I like the Accent hatch's looks also; it has classis 3-door hatch lines. I especially like its rear end and side profile.
