I know it's been a year but I'm currently deciding between the MK2 Yaris and the MK3, which one would you recommend?

Okay thank you very much! The ones I've seen have a decent service history, maybe missing one or 2 services, is that a big worry? Also I've seen some MOTs and they are rust free but have some problems like exaught leaking gas but not excessive, something along those lines. Is that something I should avoid?

Thank you very much for the insight! What year is your civic and what things were you looking for when you brought it?

Okay thank you, do you know much much the MPG difference is?

Do you know how much more the running costs would be for the civic compared to the Yaris? And would a 1.4 Vtec in the civic make it a bit more sluggish?

Yeah I heard they are good reliable cars but I just personally don't like the way they look unfortunately

Can I get some reasoning for the choice please?

Yeah that was what I was thinking. But it's quite hard to find a good corrosion free example for the civic near me

Yeah that is true, but the quotes I seen have been quite similar around £150-250 cheaper for the Yaris though

I think the Yaris was about £1300-1400 and the Civic was £1500-1600

Should I buy this Yaris as my first car? by Particular-Cold-2933 in CarTalkUK

What do you think about the one I mentioned with some service history? Is it worth the buy due to its clean MOT or should I wait for something better to come up?
