The Autoweek review is strange. They state that performance is cheap car like, although it doesn't match much more expensive vehicles, the performance is very impressive. I find the electric power steering excellent, very responsive on the road and great for parking. My auto tranny never " hunts " for gears, it shifts flawlesly. To someone who is thinking about buying a Yaris, drive one for your self as well as reading reviews.

I agree with you yariman. Also, I have a vague impression, after reading and viewing many reviews, that some reviewers dislike cars that do not perform like sports cars. Some people say Consumer Reports evaluate cars like home appliances, but I would rather trust them for their attention to safety, price, appearance, comfort, reliability, roominess, versatility, convenience, durability, resale value, fuel economy, ease/cost of maintenance in addition to fun to drive.

I love Auto magazines, but the reviewers do seem VERY biased towards high performance sporty cars rather than comfortable, reliable, economical cars as the gear their reviews towards Alpha Male types who buy the magazines.

As long as I concern, if you don't NEED a SUV to get home, such rock climbing, running thru dirt, mud pile like all those you have seen in a commerical. you DO NOT NEED a SUV. However, I think some Do need Pick up but NOT SUVs.
