Car and Driver Comparo - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

It is true that the cheaper the vehicle, the smaller the margin. Almost all of the subcompacts in the states will not be volume sellers either.

However, most subcompacts buyers eventually step up to larger, more expensive car(s) from the same company. It's an easy way to start brand loyalty.

Who came to OUR forum and blasted OUR car?

I'm sorry, but I'm not some pansy liberal who is going to lie down and let someone walk into my home and insult me.

This is for you online tough guy.

I think we've all read your comments of the sort before in the ABS thread, and then this oversensitive response to criticism of "OUR car." Whatever dude - the FIT is a good vehicle. So is the Yaris. I'm not going to start hating the FIT because some random stranger compared it in a favorable way against the Yaris and vice versa.

Please refer to my response in the Honda Fit thread about the same type of situation gong on:

Well said Bikergal. Isn't there a term for someone who posts on a site like this, for the express purpose of upsetting others. I've seen Canon users post on a Nikon website that Nikons were crap, just to get things going. If that's what passes for entertainment these days, well .......... I have better things to do. Ignore the "Trolls".

why? · 05-15-2006, 04:36 PM

Ignoring them is no fun. Of course sadly most of them just post and run.

I don't care what car the person drives, he came here and insulted our car.

I'm simply not going to stand for it.

~Thank You Ricko

~Why? Please don't let a troll bother you

Don't you know that is exactly what this person wants. To upset people on this site... laughs.. you are letting him win, slides you a beer

Prop your feet up and relax

why? · 05-16-2006, 03:13 AM

believe me, he is not upsetting me. It takes much more than that to upset me.

However, there is nothing wrong with returning the favor.

I believe I have post my respond according to Car and Driver Comparison. They have probably get rid of it because they might find it offensive. hehe. Regardless, I think they are terrible to compare stuff that doesn't really fit in the same class.

Uglyboyed · 05-16-2006, 03:19 PM

i like the yaris better. nothing against the fit, but for a "economy car" it actually pretty expensive, thats defeats the whole purpose. If your a honda kinda person i would rather spend the extra $1000 and get a civic.

The Yaris can't be compared to the Honda Fit and others... It's a too low entry car. So C&D put the Yaris sedan. Compare apples with apples.

The C&D review focused mainly on driving dynamics, not on form factor.
