Toyota Yaris 2006 or 2007?

[byaris]

I can get a 2006 for less than a 2007, so what's the difference between the two model years?
Is there any?

Another question I had: Is the Yaris RS sportier than the standard Yaris, and why? Is it sportier only because of the larger tires?

I'll try not to miss anything, aside from 15" tires and aluminum alloy wheels,(non RS has 14" with hubcaps) theres the small rear spoiler, side skirts, leather steering wheel, sport bucket seats, fog lights, foldable power mirrors, rear wiper, sliding rear seats, 60/40 fold down rear seat backs that fold totally flat. 6disc cd/mp3/am/fm, and I believe different dash lighting. There may be more that I can't remember.

Yup but I'm talking about the 'sport' differences.. The tires DO make a difference, as it has a slightly lower profile (60 instead of 65) and they are 1 cm larger but the rear wiper and leather steering wheel won't make you take a curve faster

Is there any other difference? Is suspension stiffer?

Also I'm wondering if there is any difference between the 2006 models (ce/le/rs) and the equivalent 2007 models (ce/le/rs)

Same engine/drivetrain/suspension etc, I went with the optional lowerring springs, hell of a difference, especially in corners, looks better too. But then I also have 16" wheels/tires. But noticably better even with stock 15". I test drove a base Yaris first, then an RS, RS is a much better model in my opinion.

So how was it easy to see the difference between the base model and the RS handling-wise?
