CNN

I think the Yaris gets bad reviews because the people writing them cannot relate to people who actually are trying to spend the least about of cash on their auto and don't need all the fancy stuff which comes standard on so many other cars. They test the Yaris and are like wtf? This car is economical, what a POS and then they write to buy a FIT because it's made better. A Fit better be made better, as a equally equipped FIT cost 16% more than our Yaris did when we purchased.

It's like the movie reviewer who gives a thumbs up for a movie with one cool catch phrase or action scene, they're not paying for it so they can't identify with people who are.
