Do you love your car?

[DARKSCOPE001]

I love my car :) I love how quiet it is and how enjoyable the ride to work is now. I dont have to ask myself every day. "will I make it to work safely, will my poor beater make this trip and back without a problem?"

Well the beater quit so i got my yaris, I suppose i should specify. I dont "love" it (or well love it in terms of being inlove with a car, if you propose to a car please see a doctor ) Im not yet "in love" with my car because I havent gotten to know it. My old beater I was under that thing every weekend catching up on all the routine maintinance that it was deprived of in order to breathe new life into it in hopes that I could get it to last till I had some more money saved up.

Fast forward to present, Brakes locked up on the way to work in my beater(siezed caliper) , I dont have the motovation to do work on the brakes, and I needed to do the cv shaft on the pass side that I had been putting off and putting off, was saving for a new car anyways, So I got my yaris. But I think to truly love a car you need to shed alot of blood sweat and tears, I havent done that yet with the yaris, and I havent named it.

But none the less its a awesome car and I look forward to many good years of service.

Thanks
Sean Scott

So much better than the crap that passes for popular music these days.

Here's my contribution to the topic.

Laugh out loud funny!

When comedy becomes reality.... show.

All I can say is I test drove an '11 and nixed the idea of buying one because there were a number of things I wasn't happy with (lack of features, soggy handling, numb steering, crappy seats, I could go on), and they fixed them all with a vengeance in the '12.

Do I love my car? Like others have said, I haven't had enough time with it yet, but I sure do like it an awful lot. The Echo it replaced went 170K miles without needing any repairs at all, and if this one accomplishes the same feat I will certainly love that. :)

My 2012 is excellent as far as fuel mileage. I have enjoyed the overall quirkiness. i am satisfied.

Well, of course it's hyperbole. One can't love an inanimate object .

i didn't say the yaris had NO potential. just not as much as a honda - and that's a FACT.

it certainly is not, with the exception of one or two models made a long time ago. The rest of the hondas simply ride on that long ago idea.

if you want to be a blind honda fanboi, that's fine. But there's a reason no one mods newer hondas. Hell, there's a reason no matter where you go the same generation of Integras/Civics/CRX's/Del Sols are the modded hondas, and very little else. They were, and still are if you can find a decent example, an amazing platform for anything you want to do with them. And of course you'll see a few preludes still around, and maybe the odd duckling s2000, which is a sensational machine, but isn't modified that much.

but current hondas are garbage. There is a reason honda shouted from the rooftop about an S2000 areo kit they decided to start selling. Even they know their current lineup is crap.

Now stop being a jackass in a Yaris owners thread about modding a CRX on a Yaris forum. If you want to be a honda fanboi, go do it on a civic forum.
