A few corrections to some of the responses:
The Corolla S has the same exact engine as the other Corolla models, so will not be much faster. It does, however, have a stiffer suspension and sportier wheels which enhances handling. It also has a body kit to enhance it’s appearance. You might be thinking of the Corolla XRS (now discontinued I believe) which had a slightly de-tuned Celica GTS engine providing more than 160HP.
The Corolla is not being discontinued by Toyota. It is one of their best selling models in the US. The Auris model mentioned is only replacing the Corolla hatchback model in Europe (The Corolla sedan will stay) and will not be sold in the US.

I have owned a 2005 corolla and now a 2007 Yaris hatchback. To me the yaris seems better buy cuz its cheaper, gets better gas mileage and it only has a 1.5 compared to a 1.8 but weighs less so to me it seems to get up to speed quicker. Far as room corolla got a little bit more but yaris has 3 glove boxes and storage under the spare tire at least in the hatchback. Plus insurance is going to be less

The Yaris is better when it comes to gas mileage, but the Corolla has better acceleration. In my opinion, the Corolla is roomier. You’re better off getting the Toyota Yaris.

I have a Corolla which gets 38 on the hiway/32 in town (automatic). When we bought it, we paid $99 over dealer invoice. I pre-negotiated the price using the dealer’s web site (Tacoma, WA’s Titus-Will). I confirmed the dealer’s cost on Kelly Blue Book’s site and they were using the same numbers.
Consumer Reports – available at the library – is a great way to get all the statistics.
A Yaris would do a little better, maybe up to 4 more MPG. It has decent acceleration. A Camry with a 4 will get 32 but the base price is higher.
Consider the Scion XB if roominess is a priority. The 2008 is a foot longer and HP has been increased. But expect 28 MPG. The Matrix is almost like a wagon; it uses the Corolla chassis.
Wait a bit and see what the 2008′s are like. If there’s no big differences, weigh your options; the 2007′s may be discounted. Plus, be aware of the low interest rates Toyota offers.

I would go with the Yaris because the it is roomier than the corolla especially in the driving position, If buying the Yaris or corolla make sure you get the side curtain airbags as a option, the yaris can get pricey if you add too many options.

Definitely Corolla
The Yaris is re-release of the Echo, because the Echo was such a failure. While the Corolla is a bit more longer then the Yaris, it also has more power and feels roomier. Gas MPG difference is barely any difference depending on how you drive. I currently drive a corolla and I get about high 30s on the highway and mid 30s on the city. Not spectacular, but good enough.

Well the Corolla is no more it has ceased to be I think the replacement is called Auris or something boring…..anyway id go for the Yaris its going to be cheaper to insure more economical & it looks good.

well i tell u wat i think about them. The yaris is the most fuel effeiceint and cheapest. It comes in a hatchback 2 door version and a compact sedan 4door. when it comes to space the yaris is ok. i went to the auto show and sat iside one of em. pretty roomy fro a compact sedan. Now the corolla is a different story. Its a pretty old car. The styling still hasnt changed in a bit which im not happy about. But its fuel is a little worse than the yaris not to be a big prob. The corolla is rommier than the yaris for sure. Now the accel fro both cars is about the same. I think the corolla is better accel. But if u buy the s version corolla its way better accel. If u want to learn more about the cars go to toyota.com
