Is the 2020 Toyota Yaris the BEST budget car or BUY a Corolla instead?

[@davinp]

As you said in the end, this is why manufacturers should not discontinue making small cars as GM, Chrysler & Ford have. Not everyone can afford or needs a big expensive car.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree!

[@name4379]

Long Tran I feel that they are trying to go extremes in terms of cutting back costs. By using rebadged designs, they can buy a design that has been researched already, without having to pay for it themselves. It would decrease the cost of the car, meaning more profit.

Long Tran huh but these are all niche products they are using other companies for, it is chump change for them and still allows them to compete in those small segments.

Had the Yaris iA for a couple years and........ I miss that dopey slow car. I had just as much fun with it on the street as I did with my (former) 17' Mustang GT and 17' Camaro SS. The body roll. The peppy engine. The feeling of a nimble 2,300 lb car that, at best, puts down around 87hp to the wheel... It's the kinda car you can fling around corners, drive aggressively while averaging 40mpg, and feel like you're breaking every law out there only to look down and realize that you haven't even reached the legal speed limit yet.. :D Alas, it has a look that only a mamma whale can love.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing that! I can totally understand where you are coming from.

[@domm4633]

87 hp? My Scion iQ is 94 hp there’s no way the car that replaced it as the Scion iA is only 87hp especially being a rebadged Mazda 2 and a larger car. Don’t get me wrong I throw my iQ around corners and it does great on the highway especially for being only a foot longer than a Smart car so I don’t doubt the iA is just as good but there’s no way it’s slower than the iQ.

People needs to stop saying it’s slow cause it’s not a race car. I drove it to New York and back home still have gas left. When I drove my 4 cyl suv it took more gas and I had to stop for gas on my way back. I enjoy driving it more it just more responsive and fun to drive.

My insurance rates are low (who'd want to steal a Yaris?), great gas mileage, and it doesn't spend a lot of time in the repair shop. One down point for many people, I do have to use my eyes, ears, and brain when driving it. There aren't any computer controlled gadgets. I have to check for my mirrors when passing, look behind me and around when backing up, and I have to gauge the distance of the car in front. You definitely have to use your be on your toes.

The weird thing is that about a year ago, my Uncle went with me to negotiate a Yaris. Instead we have a cheaper deal for a corolla. We were able to get the Yaris down to 19K(MRSP 24K). The dealer suggest if we want a Corolla instead, I asked how much for it compare to the Yaris. He come back later and it was 18K for us. The weird thing is that the corolla has a higher MRSP. The deal wasn't good enough for my uncle(negotiator). I think because he wanted 1% interest rate which is what he usually get because he has very good credit. We were offer 5.8% interest rate, I was buying and he was the cosigner. In the end I did my own shopping and bought a used corolla and pay it in full instead of finance . I still have it after a year.

here in Italy, that car is considered "too powerful" to be a first car, people who just got their license can't drive it because legally, it has too many horsepower

[@luischang7628]

I have had a Porsche Boxster let me by at the Tail of the Dragon in my 04 XA (older Yaris chassis), as well as countless other drivers point me by at Palmer Motorsports Park. It's not always about how many horses you have, or what they look like. You still need a driver behind the wheel...

The chief is back at it again with the great uploads!👍

[@RaitisRides]

Trust me I have been working hard! Flying out for the LA Auto Show tomorrow.

[@User14947]

Raiti's Rides nice man! Looking forward to see what you put out brother!

[@RaitisRides]

@@User14947 It's going to be insane!

[@hermanwooster8944]

I'm glad they went to a more traditional design compared to the older models that had the speedometer in the middle of the dash for everyone to see. The Yaris has always scared me since I saw the IIHS small overlap crash tests. Not good! But hopefully they've improved since then.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you Herman!

[@osgabriel20]

Nice cool video thanks

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very welcome Omar!

[@gop305]

I’m with you. I love the fact they didn’t go CVT for the transmission.

[@KyLesCaster]

Toyota CVTs have been reliable so far. Time will tell.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Matt!

[@RaitisRides]

It is more of the terrible driving experience!

[@gop305]

Raiti's Rides what’s more of a terrible driving experience?

[@KyLesCaster]

@@RaitisRides Sure. They dont gear up or down. But they are much quicker.

[@sirflexinton]

I got the 17 Yaris iA two years. I hate how slow and small it is, but damn it's good on gas. Great first car for the city.

[@aky19832001]

Its a shame we don't get the Yards GR. 3 cylinder turbo makes 270 hp. Wide body, manual. This car a 18k..means financing to lease about 10k with interest rate. That outs this car at roughly $250 to $277 a month depending on milage. 0 down with only the 1st month down, tax, tag, title. Go up to the camry and pay the extra 30 a month. I don't know. This car is small lacks the get up power to merge on highways should you have two passengers. It's a good NYC or crowded city car. But In States like Texas Florida etc etc. You need a car with more substsnce. Better sound insulation and more power.

[@RaitisRides]

Tell me about it!

[@johnsalas9834]

Just got a 2017 Yaris iA for 14k taxes and everything included 2 days ago with 27k miles, a few scratches. I absolutely love it! How do you think the price is for how I got it?

[@randyroberts855]

love the front look

[@jbar_85]

Thankfully no CVT! Does it offer AppleCarPlay?

[@RaitisRides]

Yes it does.

[@levisingleton4921]

I had seen some of your videos before, but not till I heard Wesley Chapel did I subscribe. I am a simple man lol

[@FarahAbdul]

Did the old Japanese Toyota Vitzs become Toyota Yaris all over the world and well I find parts everywhere please.Thank you

[@infidel24]

Still too fast, I'll need something much slower in a couple years when my son starts to drive

[@RaitisRides]

Keep him on a bicycle. LOL

[@MichaelJohnB]

You go any slower you’ll need a golf cart. Being slow doesn’t equal safe. If you can’t accelerate to get on and off highway ramps you’ll be a danger to everyone and yourself.

[@rcDoom]

5:12 The wind is louder than the exhaust note.

[@RaitisRides]

So is a whisper. LOL

[@BReal-10EC]

I just checked the Toyota website to build.. this does not have the same $195 center armrest option as the Yaris sedan. Why not?

[@brysonmcdonald9585]

2:21 he said it looks popping lol 😂

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for watching Bryson.

[@pitoarmand6056]

I wonder... What about reliability? Is this car as reliable as Mazda? Or as reliable as a Toyota?

[@RaitisRides]

It would be very reliable.

[@sadmanh0]

my only gripe is will it still be as reliable as a Toyota?

[@mts982]

Good video. Have more graphics with price or price comparison, comparisons in general to other models and what this car has.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for that great feedback. I will do that.

[@SallyGardner-f6y]

Thanks for this!

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very welcome!

[@Dziricani]

Can't believe there's no stick shift version of the Yaris Hatchback. The manuals are really starting to disappear. So sad :-( Very nice presentation, Joe. And kudos to the videographer for the excellent shooting.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally feel your pain!Thanks for letting me share it with you!

[@mariannasamara9253]

Price of this exact version?? Thx!.
