HAVE NOT YET driven the latest version of the Mazda2 but I have nothing but praise for the Mazda quality finish and drive.Had a RX7 in our family from 1989 to 1994 then came my very first car a 121 Metro from 1999 to 2002 and a 323 Astina from 2002 to 2006 Defected over to Nissan after that ever since.

I have bought a Micra to replace a well kept 2006 Tiida as I needed a more suitable work car and take delivery next week.Geneva White and I am a guy who is buying on a limited budget.You won’t get a Yaris for $10 shy off of 15 grand driveaway with an automatic or a 1400CC engine.

Geni – i forgot about the new Ford Fiesta and yes … a very good car albiet historically not as reliable / dependable as it’s Japanese counterparts.

People don’t buy Toyota’s on thier marketing muscle, they buy them on merit. Any company can advertise as much as they want but if the products are second rate or not competitive then they simply won’t sell … PERIOD !!

While the current Yaris model remains a competantly competitive car with credentials – the Mazda2, Honda Jazz and Ford Fiesta or all new models so it would be fair to suggest when Toyota releases the next generation Yaris that it will pip the other three … am i wrong – probably not !!

Like everything in the world, the auto industry is a game of leap frog and one of the reasons Toyota has a good reputation is because they have been able to maintain consistancy for many years, and play a good game of leap frog.

Holden and Ford however have been up and down like a yo-yo so have infact (rightfully) lost alot of consumer confidance and only consistantly good products in the future will see them regain that but bare in mind – competitors like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai and even VW thesedays are not going to make it easy by all means.

As for people don’t try other cars before buying, i would be absolutely confident to argue that point as you would probably be surprised just how much homework most people do invest before a purchase although obviously those who drove away in a Holden Daewoo didn’t do any at all.

Most young girls or just females in general usually recieve some sort of assistance from a male counterpart when searching for a car … I said usually, not all of them !!!

Or you could buy the new Ford Fiesta, which is better than the yaris in every measurable way. With the new Honda Jazz and Ford Fiesta on the market, the Yaris is simply outgunned. Only an obscure fetish for those ‘toyota grey’ interiors would give people a justifiable reason for buying a Yaris over the Jazz or Fiesta (or Mazda 2). I mean, each to their own, but given the vast bulk of people who have bought a Yaris never mention any of its competition, I strongly believe people buy Yaris’ simply on Toyota’s marketing muscle, and never actually try other cars. Their own loss, really.

Alex – better still, why not buy a Yaris considering it is amoung the highest quality, most reliable / dependable light cars in the market with proven motoring credentials. As for the looks, they actually look rather funky wouldn’t you agree !!

I’m not saying the Mazda2 or Honda Jazz are not good buzz boxes because they are excellant buys in the segment just like the Yaris is.

Truth be told, purchase of either-or simply comes down to individual choice and no matter which car the customer drove away in, they won’t go wrong wether it be the Mazda, Honda or Toyota … just don’t be foolish and opt for a Daewoo Barina instead.

Ah, Toyota supporters. You make such fools of yourselves. Why didn’t you all just buy a Honda Jazz? Better quality, better drive, you won’t look boring, it has better interior space, looks better (though that is subjective) – I could go on. In fact, I can’t think of a single plus for the Yaris over the Jazz.

Um yeah okay..
I just bought the special edition Yaris Model RUSH for my first car and i can say the yaris by far has way better looks about it then the New mazda 2′s or the nissan micra. Seriously, look at the bug lights on the micra! How DISGUSTING! And the mazda 2.. I did toss up between the yaris and the mazda but i must say compared to the yaris the mazda 2 felt really tiny inside to drive and also revved hard in auto which is plain embaressing.
And for those complaining about the prics of the yaris? The mazda 2′s are what? $20,000 if not more on road? Much the same as the yaris yeah?. And the nissan.. Only about $16,000 or more on road, did look at those but for god sake what is the world coming too, they are the ugliest cars i have ever looked at. Very proud of the money i spent, great on fuel, an awesome girls car!

Dont judge what you dont own.
Proud to own my Yaris WOO

yaris is great. i’ve just found out that there are heaps and heaps of bodykits, accessories and upgrades for yaris abroad; sad to say not here.

check out ps-modifycars.com

i’m so envious of those guys fortunate to have their yaris have facial upgrades and turboed. i wish we have them here too.
