Comparing the Yaris to the Demio / Mazda 2 we ended up with a 2011 Yaris for under 5k ( 154k / 1300cc / auto / nz new ) . Should do the trick.

I ended up not buying a car - saved me 5k.

but but but you could have bought a 2015-6 Fiat Punto with 115kms( Im surprised they still go with that mileage)for $5400 at turners.According to a euro nutter ,they are the BEST car ever made! , and everyone should have one.

Good choice and a great price for a 2011 Toyota. At least $1000 under current market value.

But but but have you overlooked the world’s most popular vehicle, the volkswagen Golf. It will undoubtedly shit it’s gearbox on the road and you will end up walking home. But everyone should have one.

Must be why they've stopped making them, they were too good to give to mere mortals. Chariot of the gods!

Had a brand new Yaris as a company car, loved it until I had to drive it on the winding bumpy road home [out west auckland through the ranges] gearbox never had the right gear & handling was horrific bordering on suicidal. enjoy.

Maybe you just needed to know you could get your knob wet? Maybe they shouldn't do this to them?
Ehhhhh - is it raining at your place and you bought a car that leaks?

So its just about run in then. Good call. I would invest a bit of money and get a decent service though.

I'd hold off on that one, word is on the street a certain ex rental fleet will be on the market shortly for $3500 start price, which is probably more realistic. The order for new Yarises to replace them is already in with Toyota.

Theres no way I would have a Fiat lol, Jucy usually keep most of their cars for a long time ,sometimes up into the high 300000 kms, so are the not happy with the Puntos?
