They are right on all counts. But thats it. Dollar for dollar and style equals a good deal. No regrets here.

There you have it!

Thats OK, I saw a issue of Consumer reports top used cars not to buy. Not one single Toyota on the list. Honda only had one. Nissan had several. Almost every Volkwagon model made was on it. I'll stick with my Toyota.

+1. I don't disagree with anything they said, really. But I still know that for me, on the day I was buying and with the budget I had, I made the right call.

Sorry; I think CR is full of it. I remember when I realized it: when they were complaining that the ride of the Corvette was "too stiff." Total lack of credibility, IMHO.

I remember one issue they were rating which beers were the best. C'mon -- it's totally personal preference!

I do not listen to CR.

Fair enough, but there's not a lot of subjectivity in the list of Yaris complaints. Driving position isn't really uncomfortable to me, I suppose, but it's a little awkward and certainly took some getting use to. I continue to search for the right seat position/steering wheel height that leaves me enough leg room without requiring me to drive with my arms straight out.

The idiot media consumer people haven't a clue what a good car is. All they can think of is bells and whistles not practicality and usefulness.

I love my car more then any other car I have ever owned!

And I don't NEED all that fancy shit... I LOVE A SIMPLE CAR!

I want to work on my car, I want to feel the road, It is one of the ONLY cars in America that lets you do that...
