Purchased As New

I love my Yaris. I bought it new, the showroom/test drive model. It was the only hatchback they had in my city at the time. We live in the desert, so we live a good 15-20 miles from the city itself, so we put plenty of drive time on the car quickly. I have nothing bad to say about it. I took it to Monument Valley where the roads aren't graded well and bounce you around like crazy, it performed incredibly well. I took it to Mesa Verde, suffering summer hale storms worse then I had seen in Germany for 12 years, dust and heat that was incredible in the desert, and non of it phased the car or compromised my comfort or safety. It was very efficient with gas, so much so I usually actually get better mileage than they claim it gives. I enjoy driving it, and it totally does not feel small or seem tiny. The interior is spacious enough that even my family was surprised at how much space it has. I can flip the seats and take my 3 Dalmatians anyplace I want, or haul quite a lot of stuff-- just like a stationwagon with two front seats. It's worth it to buy the safety package with the airbags and keyless entry if you like that. Really, this is a great car and for the price you get everything you really need. My favorite feature is the drivers glovebox, it should come standard with every car!
