He was less edgier and more objective back then!

But his expectations from the least expensive of Toyotas cars are flawed.

You can't expect padded everything, sport tuned suspension, multi adjustable seats, and other "more expensive to build" features, in a low priced unit....thats how they get the price low!

For me, Ill take fewer bells and whistles, in exchange for legendary durability and quality. Thats why I bought the Yaris.

For the record, we have a Scion xD. Exemplary car, and maybe a better value...but neither of them aren't without their individual merits.

I have to agree. Durability is so under-rated.
