Weird, I paid 17,500 out the door for my SE. Maybe they should have tested that...

Like I'm supposed to believe a review from some jack@ss that doesn't even know how to pronounce the name of the car...
The Toyota "Yeahriss"? What a horrible review too... The steering wheel is too far back, yet the pedals are too close? So which is it, you sit too far back or forward? I could go on and on...

Yeris, Yaris....
what's the difference?
I've been reading automotive reviews for years, and this reviewer is at the bottom of the food chain....sounds like he's got a hard-on (can I say that on the 'net?) for Toyota's Yeris/Yaris, because his review is far from objective. Give me a made in Japan Yaris over a stateside Corolla any day. How do you spell "doosh?" |

If I'm being honest though, I have had my 2012 for a couple of weeks. I traded in my leased 2007. And there is alot more things I miss in my 2007 than I like in the 2012. It seems like Toyota really cheaped out on some things. Such as an interior light for the back seat. My 2007 had one. I really miss the storage spots in my 2007. Don't really like where the cup holders are in the 2012, but the ones in the 2007 dash made a real mess! They got rid of the nicer spare tire cover, and also the storage compartments where the spare tire sits. I find the seats VERY uncomfortable. I'm not a big guy but the hard foam on the edges really hurts my hips. I do like a few things in the new one. The standard keyless entry, the additional air bags are probably great, but I hope to never find out. And I do like the extra length and the exterior styling, I don't like the bit of chrome on the dash though. But I do like the button for the hatch. Hopefully it won't freeze up like my '07 did.
Just one guys opinion. |
