Wish they added rear foldable seats and a front camera. I don't know if they also upgraded to Euro-V as there is no more Euro-IV sticker on the rear window and no information about it on their website. The same goes for Corolla.
Unlike the Yaris and Corolla Grande, the rest of the Corolla's variants should at least have traction and stablity control by now unless the next generation of Corolla is launching soon.
Regarding CVTs, what I like about them is their uninterrupted acceleration, and their acceleration depends on how much the RPM is maintained.
However, they are hard to cruise on the highway. Thankfully, the Yaris has a manual mode, making it easier to cruise in top gear.
Maintenance is expensive and must be done on time using the correct fluid and filters, but it's worth the cost.
Fuel economy is similar compared to automatic and manual transmissions. Yaris does have an eco mode, but I found it a gimmick.
Lastly, I found CVTs seem to be sensitive to tire pressure, filters, and lubricants. And it's a good thing, to make sure everything is right.
