Go with it. And the MG owners, inclusive, on here have pointed out things we don't care for, you just choose to ignore it. What ever works for your spin. OP asked for opinions, mine given. It's a forum, as someone pointed out, personal tastes differ. One thing we/EV owners do agree on, once driving and owner, few to none would buy another ICEV of the same class of vehicle. Especially since they are all about the same price. The op was asking advice about a Toyota Yaris Cross which isn't an EV Funny isn't EV are so brilliant they need a subisdy to persude people to buy them Most of your motoring posts you either trying to ram down MG or MG EV vehicles Clearly you haven't been in a Yaris Cross so your opinion doesn't really mean much as far as the Yaris Cross is concerned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, I'm only 172 cm (aka 5' 7-3/4"), 231 lbs and just 70 years old, but I've thought the same since I was 55 and only 192 lbs. Any vehicle that I would own needs to be at least 7.8" off the ground. The Yaris Cross is only 6.7" (170mm). That makes a big difference on the knee strain. The Yaris Cross has 210mm ground clearance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the sedan model is being introduced here now. Gorgeous styling, from the videos my partner and I have seen. We like the Atto 3 but want something a little bigger. Thanks!

From Wiki: "The third-generation Vios was released in 2013, which shares the platform with the XP150 series Yaris hatchback. It is marketed in regions outside Southeast Asia, China and Taiwan as the Yaris sedan. Through a major refresh in 2017, the Vios shares the same styling as the refreshed XP150 series Yaris hatchback. The heavily facelifted model also gained more global presence by local production in Brazil, India and Pakistan as the Yaris sedan. A separate, less major refresh was introduced for the Chinese market Vios in 2016 alongside a hatchback model marketed as the Toyota Vios FS. In Thailand, the 2017 facelifted model was marketed as the Toyota Yaris Ativ, which shares the smaller 1.2-litre engine with the Yaris hatchback. The 1.5-litre Vios continued to be sold alongside the Yaris Ativ until 2022,[3] using the Chinese market facelift styling. The fourth-generation model was released in 2022 in Thailand as the Yaris Ativ. It was designed and engineered by Daihatsu using its DNGA platform." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Vios Toyota Vios Toyota Vios sedan (XP150, China) Overview Manufacturer Toyota Also called Toyota Belta (Japan, 2005–2012) Toyota Yaris (2007–present) VIOS / YARIS YARIS CROSS Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Yaris_Cross Edited October 11, 2023 by KhunLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... do not buy with the free chick option as that option would just cause very high maintenance costs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Chinese and from what I've heard and read, has a bad after-sales reputation. Give me Toyota every time. Like the look of the new Yaris. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that it has only been released for 3 months in Thailand and any faults would not be determined as yet, but it does have a warranty.
