#1 of 21 Toyota Yaris: Buy Liftback Or Sedan? by dhh2 Nov 24, 2006 (9:38 am)
Looking to purchase Yaris but at 6-3, I'm concerned I'll be too big for the liftback, but I'm not interested in sedans. Any comments from owners--is a liftback big enough? Replies to this message: typer73 (Nov 25, 2006 2:27 pm) fastrunner (Nov 28, 2006 4:40 pm)

It has been two months, and 2000 miles, and I am very pleased. I average 41 mpg, with no highway driving. Great car for the price. Also, a great car for the environment. Highly recommend it.

I am 6ft 1" tall and test drove both the sedan and the Liftback. I had more comfortable room and way more room in the Liftback...so that's what I purchased and have had it since July 6th...about to hit 5000 miles and depending upon highway/local driving i get close to or often over 40 mpg and i have the automatic.   I highly recommend the Liftback:)

I may be biased, but I have always preferred a four door car over a two door. If you have friends, family, or kids riding with you it is so much more convenient to drive the Sedan. They do not have to wait for you to get out of your car and move the seat back to let them out. As long as the door is unlocked, they can easily exit the car (Very helpful when dropping people off at the airport or at school). Also the Sedan has more rear leg room than the Liftback. If your riding by yourself all the time, then the Liftback is ok. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend the Sedan.

Replying to: akin242002 (Dec 02, 2006 10:41 am) Well, styling is always cleaner on a two-door. Two-doors are more sporty looking; a four-door might as well scream, "family grocery hauler"! Replies to this message: irismg (Aug 01, 2007 9:47 am)

I do not think sporty car comes to anyone's mind when they think of Yaris Liftback. More of a cheap loner . If your looking for sporty to impress friends, then just buy the Yaris S Sedan. In the end, it is still the Sedan that wins. Replies to this message: boris13 (Dec 05, 2006 4:36 am) backy (Dec 05, 2006 6:52 am) boris13 (Dec 05, 2006 8:12 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: akin242002 (Dec 04, 2006 10:08 pm) C'mon, four-door cars are family cars. "Four door" and "sporty" are mutually exclusive terms. Oh sure, the auto industry has TRIED to sell us on the concept of "sport sedan"... yeah, RIGHT.

Replying to: boris13 (Dec 05, 2006 4:36 am) For "sporty" I'll take a BMW Any Series 4-door sedan any day over a Yaris hatchback. The Yaris hatch screams only one word to me: cute.

Replying to: backy (Dec 05, 2006 6:52 am) Of course, any BMW will handle better than a Yaris. BMWs are fun to drive. They're still not sporty. Viewed from the side, four-door sedans have too much window space behind the B-pillar (as well as that second door and door handle to break up the styling lines) to look sporty.   No, four-door sedans just look stodgy, no matter how well they handle or how much power they have.
