Consumer Reports not too pleased with Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

BlueLiftback · 11-03-2006, 05:16 PM

The primary issue I have with all of the magazine "comparisons" is that they completely lack any true sense of OWNERSHIP of the vehicle. That is, getting in and living with it DAILY for an extended period of time (longer than the 3 days or so that the take writing up a 10 page or less article concerning 8 or so cars).

Cars may be rated higher than the Yaris today, but give it a few years... For the $$$ involved, it's the best value for the money. 1) Toyota 2) Predicted Reliability 3) Predicted Resale and 4) GAS Mileage...

Add in the fact that it's fun to drive (maybe not as fun as a Fit, but certainly not $3000 less fun lol), and it's a killer combo.

Doesn't much matter what a magazine says imho...
