I got a new car!

Over the last few weeks my truck had been slowly dying. The final straw was when the head gasket broke and all the estimates to replace it where around $800-$1000! After talking it over with my parents we decided it was time for me to get a new car.

I feel like such a grown up! This is the first car that I've actually bought, my parents bought my pickup for me when I was in college. So here is my brand new 2007 Toyota Yaris!

It has such a tiny engine, but it gets amazing gas mileage. Up to 40 mpg on the freeway!

I got it last night and was having so much fun today running errands in it!

How cute! I love the color. I have never seen one of those.

Congrats on the new car! I Love the color, too! :)

It's so cute! And it looks perfect for YOU! :) And a great color, too, I might add. Congratulations!

Wow what a cute car! And I bet it is amazing on Gas!

Congrats on the new car!:D

Congrats!! I love the color as well. :D It's so tiny and cute.

I know what you mean about the hatchback. I have a Vibe and I was in awe of it for days. ;) :D

Is that with you PEDDLING or all on its own?

:D

Aren't brand new cars fun?! Congratulations on your new Yaris. It's a pretty shade of blue and looks like it'll be easy on gas. On monday I'll be leasing a brand new car, too. It's a 2007 Chevy Cobalt. I needed it after the idiot ran the red light and totaled my 2006 Cobalt. It's also going to be blue, it's called blue granite metallic. I can't wait to pick it up! I've been a pedestrian too long.

Way cool.

Congrats! :D How did you decide? I am hoping to start saving for a car soon and I was leaning towards the Prius.

Congrats!!!:D Toyota makes wonderful cars. I've owned three.:)

OMG. I LOVE IT!!!

It reminds me of those smart cars in Europe which I would LOVE to have.

Love the color too!

And don't you look cute sitting in it too?

Congratulations - you are going to love this car.

What a cute little car!!! I hope you have many happy years with it.

I've had my KIA Sephia for 6 years now and still love it. It needs a tune-up which is gonna cost about $400, but compared to the sticker prices of new cars, I'd rather put in for it than get stuck with a $300/month car payment PLUS expensive insurance coverage.

I knew I wanted either a honda or a toyota so I looked at the Yaris and the Honda Fit because they were both in my price range. I ended up going with the Yaris because it was cheaper and a nice bonus was that they had it in the color I wanted.

It's really cute! Looks like it suits your perfectly.

Cute! Isn't that "new car" smell wonderful?

Congratulations! There's nothing like your first NEW car! It's really cute.

LOL! It's funny how everyone think it's so small - OK, it is on the smaller side, but here in Denmark, it's quite normal to drive that size of car.

I love the color and there seem to be a lot of room for things in the boot. A real city car, easy to park and Zooom in and out. :D

Congratuatons! :)

It's a really sharp looking car. I love Toyotas. :) Does it also use the
bio-fuels?

I love it!!!

It doesn't use bio-fuels but because of the small engine and size it is ranked #1 in gas mileage for non hybrid cars. It gets 40 mpg on the highway and 34 in the city. My old truck only got half the amount, so I'm looking forward to saving money in gas.

Awww! I love Yaris' they are great cars.
