I guess had they added the complaint about "no cupholders" to the long list, they could have caught on. hahahaha

I don't understand how so many people out there hate the Yaris when so many of us love it. I just bought mine in May, but the minute I first sat in it, it felt like it was custom made just for me. I don't get it.

It's great when "reviewers" don't even know what they're looking at while sitting in a car and make up some use for it in their head instead of reading the manual or asking someone that might know. Hope the person that did this review has found a new line of work.

Wow, what an idiot. They are clearly cupholders. You would think that the round base and that spring loaded supporter with an arced end would give it away.

People looking in from the outside just see a cheap car. Their loss. I find people's biggest complaint (in other forums which bring up the Yaris) is the center gauges. They say this one thing would keep them from buying it which is ridiculous. I find Yaris owners including myself like the gauges. True. Many people automatically refer to economy cars as sh*t boxes based on there old fashioned perceptions. It's really annoying. |

You gotta give toyota some credit I mean ... think about the placement of the cup holders. I admire the person who decided to put them there. They may not have meant to put them there and it may just be a coincidence, but heating makes drink hoottttt and A/c keeps them mighty cold..... so mart.

Before I bought my Yaris, I had a 06 Tundra and every time I'd bring it to the dealership to get it serviced, while waiting I would always go look at the Yaris Lb's and there was something that just drew me to them. The cool and unusual look, and the thing that I really liked was the center mounted speedometer and gauges. One day while the gas prices where still high I asked to sit in one, a couple of days later I went back to test drive it and I fell in love with it and traded in my truck and went home in my tiny little Yaris which felt so weird after having a full size truck, but I still love it. It's my baby. To this day I still get complements about it, plus I'm starting to see more of them on the road lately.
