Consumer Reports not too pleased with Yaris

[rningonfumes]

I got a chance to browse April's Buyer guide from CR.... even with the new safety features, the Yaris does not have a "Recommended" check mark. It listed the last test rive as the 07 model.

Better than average reliability.

It's funny. I don't think I've read a single overall positive review by any professional automotive tester/critic. Yet, actual Yaris owners seem to universally love and recommend the car.

Y'know, when I was doing my research on the car I was hard-pressed to find a good review on it; but I read 130+ owner's reviews and they were universally positive of it. I learned a long time ago that professional auto critics are a snobby bunch with little connection to the real world.

here's a few positive reviews for the YARIS . http://newcartestdrive.com/review-in...&ReviewID=3270 and http://newcartestdrive.com/review-in...&ReviewID=4335 . Hoping they'll be doing new test drive of 2009 4 door Liftback soon .
