To Whom It May Concern:

First off I like to say I am in the USA. I know that markets/countries have other names for Toyota/Scion products so if I use names you do not recognize or understand please let me know.

My father has a 2001(?) Highlander and my mom have a 2007(?)Last generation Camary, witch she traded a 98 Avalon for. They both love there Toyotas. I have driven both and I am hooked on Toyota. I currently drive a 01 olds alero rare stick shift. It loves to eat clutches. No wonder why Toyota sales are up while gm is down.

Ok enough about that on with Yaris. So I am thinking of buying a Toyota/Scion. I went to my local Toyota dealer to look at Scions. For the options and money scions are a steal. Then I notice the Yaris. Although the Yaris has less standard/optional it cost less then all the other Toyotas/Scions. So is the Yaris the cheapest/least expensive model Toyota/Scion makes? Why is the lift back cheaper then the sedan? Is the Yaris built on the old echo platform? Does the Scion XD, XB, Yaris share a platform? I like the Prius but it cost double a Yaris. Plus Scion has too much of that Fast and Furious/tuner car feeling.

Does the Yaris get the highest MPG of any traditional (non hybrid) gasoline car/vehicle sold in America? (Smart not sold in USA yet.) I believe I can get a no options lift back Yaris under 12,000? This would be a no options car. No cruise no power windows ECT. Would a Yaris like this be hard to find?

I do believe the base Yaris lift back comes with no radio but a radio prep package. I believe it is 4 speakers. Is the wiring for the radio already ran? I am thinking of getting an 8(eight) track player and installing it. I can get an NOS 8 track from ebay/fleemarket ECT. Preferable one with an am/fm tuner. How hard would this be to install? Would it fit? Lots of you are going to think I am nuts for this but I am doing this for the heck of it.

Is there anything else I should know before I purchase a Yaris? Why should I get it over other Toyota/Scion products? I know this is a lot of information/questions and I do apologize.

One last thing if this entire post or parts of it are in the wrong form PLEASE let me know. So you or I can redirect them. THANK YOU.

Sincerely,

TGPII AKA Tom

8 TRACK??????????

The Yaris is a buget line car but very good quality. Keep in mind its still a TOYOTA! My next car is either going to be a Scion XB or a Yaris. I work at a Toyota dealer.

It sounds like price is a major concern, and owning a sporty, peppy little car is less important to you. Buy the Yaris.

My 23 Y/O daughter bought a Scion TC with manual tranny and she just loves it. I was pretty impressed with it's performance, and I like driving it, even though I'm over 6' tall and weigh 240#
