Yaris a bad first date car?

[BluYrs]

The question is inspired by the sight of Yaris (worst of all, specifically a 3-door!) on this list on Autoblog: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/10-worst-date-cars/1186658/

Then again, the list does end with Ferrari 599 GTB (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/10-worst-date-cars/1186659/)... But does the Yaris really belong on that list? Any comments, personal experience? Which cars not mentioned there should be on the list?

People who say that a yaris is a bad first date car's are obviously dating for the wrong reason.

I myself however choose girls who like me for me, Call me crazy.

Making fun of other people's cars because there stereotypically not a babe magnet is just low, rude and pointless.

First impressions are important. For me I took my dog on the first date. I was able to marry someone who I considered way out of my league.

[Sodium Duck]

I don't have any problems with mine.

People that make fun of my car only prove to me how narrow minded some people are.

[insert various rant of your choice about conservatives and republicans and the auto industry and hummers and oil]

[Sodium Duck]

thats what she said

[PreciousPups4U]

Being female, I don't think THE car has ever mattered to me. It's more how the car is kept. Doesn't have to be immaculate, but should be neat. I don't want to have to push cans, bottles and hamburger wrappers out of the way to get in the car. A truly confident, successful man doesn't need a "hot" or expensive car. Be polite, be courteous, open doors for us, tell us about you and what is important to you.

Also, we notice the little things you do. For example, when he came to pick me up I was listening to music, when we got in the car he switched the radio to what I liked. He was paying attention, I noticed. I married him by the way.

[ChinoCharles]

Tell her it costs $13 and change to fill and you can use all that extra money you saved to take her to dinner. She will love the Yaris.

[SIPNGAS]

Yeah, the car has never been important to me? I dunno....Sean had a Subaru WRX and he's an ass.

I agree...clean up the car so she doesn't have to sit on empty water bottles and if she cares THAT much about what kind of car you drive then I say she's not worth dating.

[RacerFreakXXX]

IMO depends on what kind of girl it is. If it's a nice girl you would bring home to your family it's a good car cuz it shows you are responsible and not trying to be flashy. As long as the car doesn't look like crap your good.

Now if you're trying to pick up those girls who will bang anything that has money, then its the wrong car. When i had my z all it attracted were sluts and underage girls. Whatever floats your boat but if she doesn't like me cuz of my car she can take a hike.

[IllusionX]

lol.. i had been driving that evil chevy uplander on a date... company car, the yaris was on storage.. so no choice.. :P

[ddongbap]

I'm sure she'll be screaming "CHEAP ASS" in her head. hahaha.

[LtNoogie]

So long as your Yaris does not have a cracked windshield in front of her face, torn passenger seat, and a hole in the floor below her feet, she should not care.

[SilverBack]

Any girl that barely knows you and who doesn't like you for ANY small, stupid reason isn't worth dating. If she doesn't like you now, she's more prone to hating your guts later as your GF.:thumbdown:

A decent girl won't care what you drive or what else you have, just as long as you can show her that you can take care of your stuff and keep things in order. If you can keep your things "man clean", she shouldn't have a problem with you.:thumbsup:

If she ever starts complaining about your car (or anything else), just pull over and say something like "Well, you don't have to ride in it if you don't want to. Hit the sidewalk, bitch...":evil:

Edit: Noticed that the writer of that article never really mention the list of "GOOD first date cars". Whiner alert!:middlefinger:

[PETERPOOP]

I wouldn't take a date out in my car. I'd use my truck.

[Prohibit]

I'd like to disagree.

My yaris has gotten me laid plenty. :)

[TheRealEnth]

Now imagine with ur new paintjob =D!!!!!!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I don't think so. In fact, the LB can actually be very romantic for a date. Take your date to a drive-in movie, lift the hatch, put some blankets/comforters and pillows in the back (with the rear seats down), and voi-la, you have a nice, cozy, romantic theater. Just don't forget the food.

[YarisPR]

I have ask a few girls I know and here's the thing... most of them don't know s|-|it about cars so they don't even care. They don't judge by the car but then again for them its nice to go on a date on a nice looking car (whatever car it is... cause many don't even know the name or brand).

An example:
Here in P.R. since it's and island there are a lots of marinas.... when I'am entering in the Yaris the security guards ask me lots of stuff just to let me in and when crosing the parking lot people look the car strangly. So I once tooked my dads BMW 645 convertible and it was a whole different story, no questions, girls looking and lots of smiles....... LOL. Funny thing is that they know I'am the dude with the Yaris but since I droved a Bimmer (just for that they) things changed... LOL

But then again I'am a lucky dude (hot girl, car lover, JDM lover, Euro car lover, Bimmer Owner, know about cars) and she likes my econobox .... so all the bitches in the fancy Marinas can suck the gas my car doesn't consume :biggrin:

[Greenthunder]

I use my rusty old truck for first dates, then maybe on the third or fourth I might use my Protege. Then I can tell if she is more interested in my money or me

[The Shape]

I have had several nice 5.0 mustangs over the years and dated several girls while owning them, but the girl I married I picked up in a plain base model 4 banger truck for our first date. If a girl is hung up on what you drive she probably isn't worth dating.

[Sodium Duck]

I agree with everyone here. If she can't get over your crappy car, then she's prolly not worth dating. That's why on the first date I usually pick her up in the Ferrari. Then later, when I am sure she doesn't care about money, I'll pick her up in my helicopter. *saying in very rich person tone of voice*

How about that - perspective! Think about it, I'm rocking your mind baby!

The Author of this blog, I hope, is just being "tongue in cheek", having some fun.

If you really have some concerns about what a date would think maybe you have to work a bit more on your "inner game". Especially this asinine idea that you need to be something you're not before someone will want you.

I think the person with the Porsche or 'Vette or Ferrari is sometimes overcompensating. Folks who overcompensate are surrounding themselves with a wall of material items in order to feel confident.

There are women who are tuned into overcompensation and will exploit such folks without pity. They're not real dates, they're gold diggers. Easy to spot - they only love you when you're spending on them.

If a lady "made fun" of my car I would probably bust her balls in reply. Build up sexual tension with her.

My favorite was the guy who had a young lady in his car who said, "Am I safe in this thing?". He could have said, "That depends upon you" or "No" or "Nobody has died in it recently" - all said with an ironic tone and grin.

If the girls judges you by your car, then stop giving her the benefit of the doubt. So instead of treating her like a keeper, use her for sex and good times. Lie to her, whatever it takes to get her panties off....treat a lady like a lady, a tramp like a tramp...that's the way of the world...even sluts have their place...

[paradigm]

Appearances are the first thing that people have to go by. Can't say i wouldnt go for the hotty dressed up vs the unkept girl in sweats and a t-shirt. Long term who knows but its not a bad starting point.

[Chupacabra]

I have always said that you can tell a lot about a person by the car they drive. There is a fine line. I think that the Yaris is a great car because it's economical, practical, responsible, not bad looking etc. It's all the things that you want in a little coupe in 2009. I get a kick out of people driving cars that they can't afford....I see it all the time. At the end of the day though...as many have said, it goes to show you the "shallow-ness" of many that the final judgement regarding somebody lies in the car that they drive but I do believe that it's not a final judgement as much as it is a "first impression." As long as the car is clean and kept up....it says something about your hygiene and conscience. Somebody trying to compensate with a car is obvious

Man if a girl like you she hardly care about your car at all, if it's dirty she will help you clean it up, help you wash it, help you wax it, or if you are dirty she will take care for you in the bathroom. :headbang:

[Jem_hadar]

I know my buddy who drives a G35 pulls ass all the time -- and its not his looks.

A car is usually gonna help you pull chick you wanna just fuck that night -- not a girl you're looking to date seriously.




when we got in the car he switched the radio to what I liked. He was paying attention, I noticed.

lol. well im not winning any points that way likely then. i cant deal with non-electronic music. if a girl doesnt like the techno im playing in my yaris, the only thing i would change to for her would be trance, euro or house. ;)

Picking up a date in a minivan means you're either very cocky or incredibly uninteresting. Show up at someone's house in a Chevy Uplander and not only are you that guy with that minivan, but you picked the worst possible one.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg! LOL! :bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:

We love the Chevy HHR Panel. It's way cooler-looking than it's window-clad sibling, and in SS trim it's damn fun to drive, too. The HHR isn't a good first date vehicle, however, because nothing puts up more red flags on a first date than a vehicle without windows.


Again -- LOL!! Bwaaaaaaahahahaha. Brilliant! :bellyroll::bellyroll:

Yeah, I knew what they was going to say about the wagon before I even read it, hah.

[mfratt]

I drive a BMW right now, and I hate it when girls ask me what kind of car I drive. I'm always like "Eh, an old BMW." (Its a 2001). I don't like flaunting the fact that I have a nice car, and its all the better when they finally do see the car and they're then like (a) "nice car" and (b) realize that you have yet to bring up what you drive.

As for the Yaris, well the chicks that chase after guys with money won't dig it, but any reasonable minded girl would probably see that its a responsible, economical car and that the guy isn't trying to show anything off by having a "fancy" car (not that we buy nice cars for that reason, but thats a possible impression). Also, the whole "green" movement and downsizing is becoming popular enough that having a car like a Yaris could actually be a big plus over a BMW or big SUV.

wat a f...k..g b...h s....t

excuse my language!

[Bella]

I only have the blokes that drive their riced up falcodores hastle me about driving a Yaris .. Then I remind them that it costs me less than half of the $100 they need to fill up their petrol-guzzlers to fill up my car, and that it lasts far longer! After that I usually ignore anything else they say unless they're admiting their defeat.

I've had a couple of mates of mine ask if they can borrow my car for an afternoon because they are chasing girls who are in love with the Yaris. :wink:

My boyfriend is big into his classic cars, but he loves my Yaris almost as much as I do. He's forever saying he couldn't imagine me driving anything else and that I better never sell it! :tongue:

Good thread, hah.

It's not about your looks, your car, your money, your schooling, or job, or your family. It's all about the swagger, gentlemen.
