I'd think that the paint on a lexus would be much better than one on a yaris since it's a more high-end car. *shrugs*

There aren't optional paint choices, and the process is the same for all cars of any given brand. In the auto industry, there's no such thing as paint for high-end cars and a separate type of paint for low-end cars.

Do they just put on more coats of paint or something?

I'd be willing to bet the paint on a Lexus is just as thin as the paint on a Yaris.

Yikes. I guess that means that conservatives don't have alternate views on anything then. Methinks that's a bit dangerous. But what the hell do I know?

By the way... This is WAAAAY Let's bring it back for the good if this thread.

There are no rules in this site against freedom of expression and I will continue to post. If you don't like what I post, don't read them. You don't have to own a Yaris before you can pass judgement about the car. It is possible to learn a lot of valuable info about a vehicle simple by test driving it, whether you want to believe that or not.

The good thing about it, eventhough, it's a small car it's suprisingly roomy inside.The cabin very cool.Toyota definitely put alot of ideas in the Yaris you wont find in other cars in it's class.They've created a package that set a new trend. I dont like the laggy throttle response of the manual.But once you get used to it. It's very smooth it's nippy and enjoyable drive,the handling is great. Good mileage. Overall I think it's good value for money.

That's exactly the way I fell about the automatic. The manual feels snappy by comparison.

Hi,

Pros: solid body feel, precise steering, reliability, quality build, simplicity, fun(Good) handling.

Cons: slow manual gear box, lag on the throttle, super high stock suspension.

Thanks

I've driven 3 manuals now and didn't notice either of these things (and with the second two, I was specifically looking for these things).
