Which is better...yaris or accent 2008?

Question

and why...plz dont just say one or the other

Answer 1

I'll take Accent for the better Safety Rating if nothing else !

IMHO, toyotas are expensive to maintain. Also many important safety features are optional not standard. So your bottom price goes up. I drove an Accent up until last month. I have also driven the Echo, which is predecessor to Yaris. They are nice cars but a little bit crampy. Accent has better headroom.

Answer 2

You should also look at the Scion XD (made by Toyota).....IMO it is the better looking twin to the Honda Fit (and a little less money).....I looked at the Yaris, and although the sticker price and mpg's make it pretty attractive, once you start adding basic options like power windows and a/c the price shoots up dramatically.....

The Scion XD is a 4dr hatchback with tons of room, nice mpg's (27/34) and come standard with lots of comfort options....base price under $15,000.....

I also read somewhere online that the Scion XD uses the same motor as the Corolla...

Toyota's are very dependable, long lasting autos.....

Take your time, do your homework....good luck!!

Answer 3

I can only tell you about the Yaris... it has a reallly strange sound.. I went to a dealer a couple of weeks ago and I drove one 08 and didn't buy it becuase of that sound in the engine.... good luck.. I got me a Honda Civic

Answer 4

i think accent 2008, it sounds more attractive

Answer 5

accent (as long as its a 08 or 09)

Answer 6

The toyota Yaris is much better.It has japanese build quality which is the best in the world where the accent is Korean. Also accents needs a lot of care as they are prone to rusting.

Answer 7

Depends on what is important to you.

The Yaris has the better reliability, gas mileage and will hold its value better.

The Accent has the better warranty and is more comfortable.

Personally, I would consider the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit over both the Yaris and the Accent.

Answer 8

I drive a 2007 Accent, which is the same as the 2008. It has more leg room than the Yaris, and my tall friends love the head room in the back seat.  The hatchback model has a lot of storage space for a small car.

I'm not happy with the way it accelerates, but I'm not sure if the Yaris is any better, as I haven't driven one. It's fine for where I live, but on roadtrips to the mountains it struggles. If you live in a hilly area, I'd recommend something with more pickup. My fiance's corolla gets better fuel economy and is fine going up the mountains, but it's a more expensive vehicle.

Answer 9

Honda Fit

the yaris has a noisy unrefined engine, bad brakes unless you get the optional ABS, and a terrible choppy Hwy ride. you may get use to the center mounted gauges but they are annoying.

Hyundai makes some good cars but the Accent isn't one of them. it scores poorly in crash tests.
