Is the Yaris a wreck monster? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

After 45 years of driving, you're getting to be one of those geezers everybody worries about being on the road.

Is your Yaris red? I was hit in the rear of my red Horizon 3 times in a year. I repainted the rear end ivory. The ivory color cut back on getting rear ended. I think that other drivers expect people who own red cars to drive fast. I have been driving my Yaris 3 door liftback for 1 1/2 years. I like how my 2 Yarises drive. The Yaris is easier to drive than my dead brother's Ford Ranger. The Yaris is easier to drive than my Mom's Subaru Outback Wagon. I traded in the Ford Ranger as down payment on a second Yaris 3 door liftback.

How many small cars have you drove with power steering? My last three cars had power steering. I drove a Escort Wagon with power steering and power brakes before buying the Yaris. I had zero problems adjusting to the electric throttle or the electric power steering.

I had a close call with 3 deer in my Horizon. Nothing like having 3 deer run across the road right in front of you to make you nervous about driving after dark.

Hmm before the Yaris I had 2 accidents (not my fault though). ZERO accidents in the Yaris.
