Awww! It's so CUTE!

[Kiteless]

OK I need to know, especially from the Liftback owners. How many people do you show your car to and they say something to the effect "... it is just so cute!" Personally I do not mind. I like driving a cute car.

I just got that today for the first time....one of my co-workers that I had to drive somewhere said that same thing.

[Toddhata]

Every single girl that has seen it says it's cute, but they say that about my Boxster too, and my dog http://www.toddhata.com/cars/images/patch.gif

[El Jefe]

i get it alot from my friends who havent seen it yet. but it's ok i make up for it with my other cars lol

[TrancosRt]

I've gotten that from a co-worker. From my friends who have seen it and test drove it said basically "Congrats. It's an awesome car." Everybody who had seen it liked it. Even my dad!

[dbaxter]

I used to get that with my bug ( new beetle ) all the time. Most likely will with this one also.

[riceboy]

Yes that's what most say.... but what can you do???

[RedNova]

OMG! All I heard from my friends when they first saw the Yaris was "cute". Drove me crazy for a bit, but it's all good now... loving the car too much to care :thumbup:

[bulldogs2k]

Some kid asked my GF if the car was a electric car! i thought that was cute.

[El Jefe]

ahaha ya the first question from my mom was 'is it a hybrid?' lmao

[TRD_Yaris]

Before they get in: the girls say "it's so cute".
After they get in : they say "oi"....

[Kiteless]

Heh. Heh, thanks for all the feedback. Seems like everybody that I show mine to says it is "cute". And also I think just like one or two people said that did not like it. But they where truck people. I am not into trucks.

Yeah I have also been asked if it is a hybrid. No one has asked me if it is an Electric... Yet. But I figure it is small enough. Heh.

[Jola1]

I have been asked 'is that on of those cars thqt doesn't run on petol?' .....Der.............

But the 'cute' thing.....yeah...........

[Hyde]

alot of ppl actually stare at my car on the road... especially girls...
sometimes, i dont even get this much attention in the GT!

[TRD_Yaris]

EXACTLY, HYDE!! i NEVER got so many stares in ANY of my other cars (Black on Black Lexus on 20's, Side-sliding 240SX's, OR motorcycles). It's kinda odd, just like someone on YarisWorld talking about the crowds at car shows are more interested in the sub-compacts than the Exotics..kinda odd but refreshing.

[Hyde]

i remember this kid 16-20 driving this beat up civic with his gf and pulled up beside me at the bank, and they just kept starring and wont keep their eyes off it... my friend was like, wtf are they starring at, never seen an Yaris b4???
modded ones get even more attention. they really wonder why u mod up a entry lvl car like this. but at the same time, i dont really understand why ppl mod up these old G2 Integra, CRX or even new base model civics...

[TRD_Yaris]

well, MY fascination with making old econoboxes fast is double-sided. On the one hand, you can turn something that's totally plain and normal into something fast and fluid. At the same time, you can push it until it crumbles and not feel bad since it sucked to begin with :bellyroll:

[Jola1]

Pulled in for petrol next to a newish beamer, young exec type (male) fillin up..........he looked............and looked.........at the yaris........... I said (lamely) it's the new Yaris, he said (also lamely) looks great.........(sigh)........

Moral of the story, why did he make the big spend on the 'image' vehicle, when all he would like is the hot little number I was driving??

This is one reason I bought the Yaris, I love the way people who spent 50+ on a car look at me and realize how the throw their $$ away. Of course some of them don't, but a majority of them do.

[apriljoy]

Most ask what I paid for it and what's the gas mileage like. I want to add heart decals to the sides to make it over the top to add to the hearts on my seat covers and steering wheel cover.

My old co-worker commented and said, "Yeah, it fits you April, it's definitely a 'Dot' car." Dot is the Animaniac that reminds her of me. The sedan is a very bubbly looking car. It's a better looking Echo (Clown Car). :)

I don't get random people asking me questions, then again I'm not all that approachable.

[mikeukrainetz]

The only strange experience Ive had similar so far was on the way to work one morning. A guy on a harley (you know, loud chopper, big dude in tats and leathers with the bandana thing on his head) rolls up to me and gets me to roll down the window, all while driving. Asks me how I like it and the gas mileage etc, says he wants to get his 'old lady' one. I yelled back its a great car, he yelled back 'gets better gas mileage than this thing' (his bike) and takes off. Very strange.

[pennystocks]

Funny comment from a review i remember. They said the liftback looks like a beetle screwed a scion A, lol. I kinda think the sedan looks like a pokemon humped a Audi TT but thats just me ;)

all i can say is the ladies dig the Yaris. I was at a "club" tonight, and had more than half a dozen ladies walk up to me and ask "what is THAT?!"..i laughed back as always, and before i could explain myself i was salsa dancin' to some whack Tejano. Siempre chicas...

Ive heard that atleast 10 times from family and friends and chicks.

In fact, my aunt just saw my ride for the first time and said it was cute on Sunday. :cool: haha

I dont mind... the chicks seem impressed w/ it, so thats a bonus. Im not a massive powerintense sport car kinda guy.

i like the uniqueness and great gas mileage of my Yaris! I enjoy being different

[Kiteless]

Well I guess I am replying to my own thread. We had a company lunch and it took 3 cars to haul everyone do the place. So one of my passangers was the new girl, the reason we all went out to lunch. She asked me if this was the new Yaris. I told her yes, she actually did not call it cute, but was ver impressed with how roomie it looked once she was sitting in the back seat. One of my other passangers drives a BMW 323i. He did not say much, but I asked him about it later and he said he initially did not want to get into it because he thought he would be crampt, but was also impressed with how much room it had once he was in it. So, trying to impress, I took a little extra care with my clutching, making sure not to drop short, or plop it into a gear. The car handled great with 4 people in it, and did not feel overly sluggish. All though it was only about 5 blocks drive each way. :)

[argylesocks]

well, i drove it into work today... and got the following comments:

"its soo smalll"
"did you know it would be that small?"
"i wouldnt have traded a turbo, AWD saab for that"
"its soo small"
"i dont think they gas savings will be worth it"
"i couldnt deal without power windows/doors"
laughing... laughing...
"its soo small"

ugh.

I think I am going to add some sort of vegan sticker on the back, just to tick them off more. :)

So far everybody who has seen the car has been quite impressed with it (as I stated before!) but yesterday I think I got my silent glory moment.
My neighbor is one of those HP guys who drives a Huge SUV, rebuilt an old truck to an HP beast and his daily driver is turbo PT Cruiser. Anyway, yesterday I was washing my car and he pulls up and start asking me how I like it, gas milleage, price and whatnot (the conversation started with the usual "Hey, is that one of the new Yaris?")and before driving off he confessed he liked it and that he could use it because of the milleage :D. Go Yaris Go!

Was driving the other day with a couple of personal trainers from work in the back seat....one of them is a large muscley guy......he was surprised that
a. It was easy to get into the back of the 2 door
b. his head didn't hit the roof once he was in
c. there was plently of leg and shoulder room for him and another large adult in the back seat.

an additional comment.........
went to eee a friend last night, they just bought an old Ambulance......could almost fit the Yaris in the back.......we did have discussions about whether Night Rider stunts :headbang: could be done with the ambulance and the Yaris.......anyway......
He hopped out of the ambulance and into the front of the Yaris and freaked out that there was lots of space.

Go the Tardis....small on the outside, big on the inside:thumbup:

[Buckethead]

Just got some great comments. Peeps couldn't belive how cheap, and economical the car is.
And they had no clue what a Yaris was.
The commercials I've seen are only Liftback based, until the end when it splits an you see the Sedan.

[bulldogs2k]

was out with the s2000 community this weekend. A few test drove the car and was impressed. they loved how the car looked with 35% tint, and, they even suggested what color rims would look nice. BTW they all loved how the car scooted around. I guess most people, if not all, think the yaris is some electric car that can not reach passed 30 miles an hour.

sup all, mannnn... this post is a trip for me, every friggin time i fill up wierd people (lots of indians and people) ask me how much, miles, etc. Similar to other post, chicks always say it's cute, like every day.

Sometimes when people stare at my car i would turn the alarm on them and they still stare (kinda creepy) oh well. abit to much unwanted attention, but i love my car.
