why did you buy a yaris?

The car in one of my favorite TV shows caught my attention...



Actually, although Psych is suppose to be in Santa Barbara, CA it is actually filmed in Canada; hence the Canadian specs Yaris.

Then I had a chance to drive one as a rental car on a work trip, I fell in love but knew I had to get the hatchback (I also love hatches!). I also have a Jeep Wrangler so it evens out my gas mileage (37 MPG vs 16 MPG). I loved my old car, a 95 VW Passat wagon with a VR6; but after 125K+ miles on it, it was starting to show its age. Nothing major, but I knew I wanted a new commuter car and the Yaris just fit the bill perfectly!

The odd thing about the Yaris showing up on Psych is that the car is owned by Gus, and Gus is the one who drives it, but in certain shots, (similar to the one pictured), Shawn is show on what would normally be the driver's side of the car in the US... So it makes me wonder...
