Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

1stToyota · 01-29-2009, 12:14 PM

Because I couldn't park a Corolla in my garage with plenty of room to walk around my car, and that's with my rider mower, 2 push mowers and a utility wagon in front of the car.

I would believe 50mpg. Ive gotten 44ish on the highway on long trips sitting around 60mph with no hypermiling and the A/C on and off so with no A/C and someone with the patience to hypermile at 55mph....could be done fairly easily i would say.....all highway of course.

Bc i like hatchbacks.

(And with respect to the matrix (a corolla hatchback essentially), im not a fan of its poor(er) mileage.

plus i really dislike its dash... too busy and clustered... not open enough for me)

nothing gets the posts going like someone undermining our cars (and the sole reason we're all here in the first place). It's a call to arms and most of us are willing and ready to step up.

srsly dude. We know you love your fit to death,

but fitfreak.net is that way ------->

Whichever car you prefer is your subjective opinion, but don't try to act like you're in on some kind of secret that we're not privy to. Most of us compared many of the cars in the subcompact class and we made the decision that was best for ourselves.

my point is this..

people drive around in yarii with chips on their shoulders and are overly jumpy to defend their decision for their purchase.

my "honda fit" has been the brunt of many jokes over the last 4 years and i've learned the best thing to do is laugh it off. why get uptight over what people think about what you drive? waste of energy IMO.

not once did i bash the Yaris. i'd never bash the yaris.. stock for stock it should out perform my "honda fit" in every way.

Funny you should say that when you just posted this...

Sounds like a bash to me.. I'm just sayin'...

Just because it's a company's entry model vehicle doesn't automatically make it worse than any other vehicle in the company's lineup. You can buy an ipod shuffle over the ipod touch, and it doesn't necessarily make the shuffle work any worse than the touch. Companies don't create crappy cars on their bottom end just to convince you to spend more and buy their higher-end models. You buy whatever fits your needs/wants.

Again, most yaris owners here on this site have done the research on their vehicles. We're coming from real world experiences with the Yaris, and to some of us, it's the top of the heap when it comes to subcompacts. Just because some people love the car and you don't doesn't necessarily mean they're blindly defending it.

saying something is low on the totem pole does not make it a bad thing lol, you're overly sensitive.

at least it's on the pole!

I was never upset about it, but it sounds like you're generalizing that yaris owners who announce their love of their vehicles are doing so blindly because there are better vehicles in Toyota's lineup... Or at least that's what I took from it. Was I wrong? I have an open mind, please clarify.

by the way, how in the world did you come to the conclusion that i'm a fit owner?

I was right, wasn't I? Man, I'm getting good at these psychic abilities

Let's just say that there are cues specific to some fit owners. Sorta like PK's uncanny ability to spot caveatipse within a 3 post margin...
