How big is the Toyota Yaris, compared to a Ford Focus?

Question

I want to know about the size of the liftback models please

Thanks, I want to get a Toyota Yaris, but the dealer doesn't have any on the lot and I wanted to get a rough estimate about the size before ordering the car.

Answer 1

The Focus compares more favorably against the Corolla. To answer your question the Yaris is smaller and is less powerful than the Focus.

I suggest that you look into a Corolla instead. The Yaris sell at full MSRP if not there is usually a markup. Corolla is a better car in almost every way and is being heavily discounted due to the arrival of the next generation Corolla sometime next year.

Answer 2

Way too small, ugly, unreliable, cheaply built. Look at the Chevy Cobalt, once you do the research this will win. Its the same price as a Yaris or Focus, comes with more standard options, bigger, more reliable, better looking, more fun, and higher quality. The only problem is it dosent come with a liftback, the closest you'll get is the coupe. If you insist on a liftback look at the Honda Fit, Dodge CAliber and Nissan Versa. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident.

Answer 3

Get a Corolla S, Bigger, Better MPG, No depreciation around $16,000 and no waitng in line at the Ford service department all the time. Insurance is probably cheaper too.
