The Yaris is one of the few vehicles in its segment to offer these safety features as standard equipment.CGS cat back exhausthttp://www.autotuningstore.com/CGS_Catback_Exhaust--category--711.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-66041789209662946442011-08-12T17:23:57.462-07:002011-08-12T17:23:57.462-07:00That optioned-up red 3 door looks hot, but USA Tod...That optioned-up red 3 door looks hot, but USA Today's reported the 3 door only comes as a base model, the sport (and midline) trim come in 5 door only.<br /><br />Personally, I'm planning on keeping my paid-for '08 for a while anyway.nlpnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925589671848667697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-88051178370156817672011-08-11T19:12:25.572-07:002011-08-11T19:12:25.572-07:00I normally favor the 3 door hatchbacks as well, bu...I normally favor the 3 door hatchbacks as well, but I favor the 5 door design in the current (pre 2012) Yaris generation. I own a 3 door but I'd have the 5 if I could have gotten it with the manual transmission. As far as I know, all the 5 doors are automatic only, and they weren't even for sale in the U.S. when I got my 3 door back in '07. <br /><br />The new interior is a huge step up, even if they used the same parts bin as the current gen. And the outside of the car isn't shabby either. But the decision to use the same 1.5 liter and transmissions? That's just lazy and boring. Which makes it a perfect Toyota.Dukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-63823984924309427092011-08-10T10:49:01.738-07:002011-08-10T10:49:01.738-07:00I personally love the 3 door redesign.

I was set on the mazda2, but this new 3 door yaris has won me over so far. I'm surprised there are so many people upset over the 4 speed auto. Yes, it would be nice to have a 5 speed auto, but the engine and transmission in the yaris/echo are as reliable as you can get. They are practically bullet proof. Can't wait for toyota to release more info.jeihttp://twitter.com/jeihonoreply@blogger.com
