I own a Liftback with the power package, so it is available. Bought mine last September & had to order it at that time, should be available on the lots by now.

I would like to see a tach., and cruise control.
On my wish list would be a hatchback that got even better mileage, maybe a smaller engine, or a 6th gear?
My current 90 day avg is 46 mpg, very little highway.
Love my Yaris

It's true, my dream of a 5 door hatchback with cruise control become a reality in the 2009 model

Now that the 5 door is available. . . by stephen987

Since the five door hatchback is arguably the most versatile and practical version of the Yaris, I'm glad to see it's finally available in the US.
 
BUT. . .
 
Why oh why did they have to make it automatic-only?

Wow no manual transmission. That is dumb. I would have liked to see the wheelbase extended to give the rear hatch useable space when the backseat is in use like the Honda Fit.
 
Cargo Space with backseat up
Honda Fit 20.6 cubic feet
Yaris 5door 9.32 cubic feet

My wants... by planetiowa

I'd like to see a better name for this vehicle. "Yaris" is a terrible name. I'd like to see factory cruise control. Cup holders which don't block the vents would be nice. Most of all, I'd like to see more leg room. At 6'3" and 315, this isn't my ideal car. I needed a longer time to become acquainted with the car. That's why I would've preferred to buy from Enterprise. They offer seven days to be sure. The dealership really needs to have a line on the wall: "You must be this height or less to buy a Yaris." I'd like to see the metallic gray color discontinued. My vehicle has that non-color.

Well, factory cruise is available on the sedan at least, but yeah, it would be nice if it wasn't so difficult to get on the hatch.
 
I'm with you on the cupholders though. They do get to be a slight nuisance - at least until the cabin cools down a bit.
 
I'm 6'2" and the Yaris fits me fine, but you've got a few pounds on me. I actually feel like there's more room in the Yaris than the Corolla in the driver's seat (feel the same about my Echo over the Corolla). I guess, given it's over all size, I'm surprised it's as roomy as it is.
 
You might try checking out Carmax, as I think they have a 30 day buy-back policy (with some mileage and condition restrictions of course).
