Consumer Reports not too pleased with Yaris

[ChilliwackGuy]

I gotta admit that the one car I am always checking is the Honda Fit - not sure why - but it just looks cool.

Yet - I'm positive my Yaris is way cheaper on gas and more reliable.

Also, I subscribe to Consumer Reports Canada Magazine - and they are not slamming Toyota - instead they are suggesting that they will not recommend the company - simple because of the numerous recalls.

granted i dont drive the yaris much if at all, but i can't listen to anyone that talks about a "turning circle" are they writting for 2nd graders or something?

Fit = micro minivan

As for the recalls they are like no other company. The difference now is that their recalls are more in the spotlight. If anything Chrysler and Ford on many models in the last 20 years should have had to literally recall the entire vehicle and provide full refunds. Mostly in the 80's, but depending on your age you might not be aware...and oh yeah...how about those totally awesome Chevy Cavaliers of the 90s...ish.
