I am a big fan of CarTalk (Click and Clack), and I subscribe to their email list as well as download their podcast to listen to in my Yaris. I decided to search their site to see what they had on our beloved car and saw otterhere's comments. I recall them same BS on this forum, so I thought I would call them to everyone's attention. CarTalk is a huge forum for automotive enthusiasts, and I wouldn't want people on there to get the wrong impression of the Yaris!

When I was researching the car, I found a web site that had a couple of hundred reviews from actual Yaris owners (not magazine reviews, but people who spent their own money on the car). I remember that although people has some minor complaints, each and every one of them was happy overall with their Yaris. I recall telling my wife it had to be a good car, as I couldn't remember ever seeing so many reviews of a particular model where every one of them was positive.

I fully understand that the Yaris doesn't have some of the luxury items that you can find on more expensive cars, and I also can tell you I could have easily spent twice as much money on a car as I did on my Yaris; but I consider the Yaris' 'bang for the buck' to be one of the best values available today. Yes, there are cheaper cars, but the Yaris was exactly what I wanted in a commuter car and six months later I am still very pleased with my purchase.

So I have to lean over to open the passenger window or unlock the door; big shit, I have to do that in the Jeep anyway (when it has doors and windows on it!) so I am not missing anything in that regard except the cost of replacing those components if and when they break.

Overall, I guess I am a little defensive to criticism concerning the Yaris. I know it is not perfect, but it is a damn good car and I won't tolerate assclowns like otterhere spreading lies about it on other forums!

Cheers! M2
