Help, the wife thinks the Yaris is a Dork mobile..

[yarisgirl]

I rode around in at 14mpg car. I have had many cars in my short life as a driver. I grew up with a ford van due to my mothers disability, then I had a plymoth horizon. After that it was my choice as a nanny to use either a 15 seat van, suburbon, or a ford explorer. I loved the Explorer when I had just the little ones with me. I then met my husband and he owned a Jeep Wrangler. 14 mpg on a good day, only going downhill in san fransisco. Now I own a Yaris. A cute compact car with lots of potential.

First it smiles at me when I walk up to it. Second I get noticed driving down the street. Third, no one on my block or for that matter in my town owns one yet.
4th with all the money saved on gas I can go on a cruise and afford payments and insurance.

Cute factor, this car outside sits higher then most cars of its class, it has a smile on all of the time, and it is earth friendly.
MY yaris has all of 200 miles on it. and I already know I am going to be doing some slight mods to it when the parts get on the market.

Ok so finished rambling enjoy your day. I am going to take my Yaris out for a drive.

I don't fell dorky at all for loving my Yaris other than it's a little different (center cluster, hiding little aux glovebox, cupholder location,) all of which I think are very cool. The style of this thing I believe really rocks, and all the intrest it attracts. At 38+ mpg I just tell people it's my four wheel covered motorcycle.

I think the Yaris is the greatest little car of all time!!! Its sweet looking, looks like a little Camry, I'm not much on the liftback,but thats what the Sedan is 4 :) And the other way around,if you are a liftback fan then they have the perfect Yaris 4 you:)

The little car is awesome,and its not really that little, and it just happens, to be best car on the road today,the best car Toyota has ever made


I say we race the Yaris in Nascar

We are not worthy of the Yaris


Happy Yaris Hunting!!!

OOOohhhh....man. I heard on the radio that the Beetle got really bad crash test results. Make sure she drives defensively!

I hope this isn't so.. my wife was really concerned about the crash safety of the beetle.

What's with all the foul language???

~YR

BTW, Mord Sith rule! My Vibe's name is "Cara".

ahhhh... the foul language... gotta love it... lol

Mordisth really do rule but are you sure the Vibe is worthy of the name Cara ?
(unless of course the Vibe is red in colour )

not 2 sound like a dick, but i went from a full leather interior accord 2 a fully equipped yaris sedan and i think it its just the best!!! my folks have a 350 lexus suv and a fully loaded crv of the year and would take my yaris over both of them!!! your wife is obviously more into what people think of what she is driving then being happy with things....you should never let your wife dictate what car you drive!!! unless she is paying for it,,,thanks for listening guys

Women ... gotta love 'em

There are two main reasons I picked the yaris. The 40 miles to the gallon was a big one. But the car's reliability and how well its built was number #2. I read that the echo was actually the best built car in the last 10 years. The most relible. Less repairs ect.. . Considering the yaris is just about the same car except with a few changes I thought that a big plus. I was pleasantly suprised at the looks. Its a pretty cute looking car.

After driving it for the first week I'd buy my yaris all over again over any other car. To me its the most practicaly built car to date. And thats what I wanted. The most user freindly practical car in the world. Thats my yaris.

ROFl, not a good way to introduce yourself to the board.

I bet she'd disagree.

[ricko]

I'll bet she would too. Too bad she drives a Honda. Hahahahaha!

Now that my wife is sharing her TRUE feelings on the Yaris I am also wondering if anyone else felt a tad bit GEEKY for liking the Yaris? I mean even a little ? ?

Get a new wife!

[Yaris Dick]

Join the club. I get it from my wife, my ex wife, my kids, my step kids, my neighbors, Hell....even my dogs won't ride in it. Just kidding.... about the dogs anyway.

Well, I'm getting my Yaris on Thursday. And when I first heard the name of the car, I immediately thought of pirates which made me love it even more. So I would say I'm a dork but I'm a female dork. Yarrrr! I was joking with my boyfriend that I was going to take off the "is" part of the emblem. Then all I need would be a bumper sticker that says "My other car's a ninja."

Fortunately, my wife thinks it's "cute"...but don't feel too bad though....my daughters call mine the "clown car", which instantly "stuck".

I've always owned Corvettes and Cadillacs and I currently have an '04 SSR, so I kinda know what you mean by feelin a little geeky, but hey, let em say what they want. If you were a young single guy, I don't think you'd impress too many women with your Yaris but being a married guy, it almost shows good sense (as long as you've got something classy to take out the missus with on Saturday night).

Just my $.02
