Oh, those LITTLE things... - Toyota Yaris Forums

True, Tuck, but I don't believe these design flaws are a matter of "economy"; for instance, fewer (but better placed) cup holders would've costed LESS... Inserting two little stable loops vs. four flippable handles would've cost less; certainly omitting the MP3 jack would've cost less... The Suzuki Swift was a cheap econobox, yet you could open the windows without it "drumming" (and what's with the little side vents - that don't open -in the front windows; surely it would've saved money to skip those???). It's just bad design, alas... Still, it's the best of what's out there today; sadly, that's not saying much.
