^^^above two posts:

It would be good for blindspots, if the structural integrity of the vehicle didn't depend on four corner pillars.

There is a pillar at that corner the glass is just for show...

Get a grip man you drive a YARIS its an economy car that looks like it had sex with a crossover.

I'm still undecided if I like it or not. I can see the Gremlin reference but also see why younger gen's would like it. Throw into the mix a GREAT marketing campaign and it looks atractive to the younger market. Just waiting for that ah ha moment of if I like or hate it.

Yeah, KIA's are pretty embarrassing.

Even though Kia and Hyundai have 10 year warranties, I have a problem with someone that builds my car eating dogs and cats for dinner.

South Korea, not North. . . It's like saying that Columbia is the same as America, because it's South America. Many parts for American cars are made in Mexico, and guess what, some of them eat dogs and cats too. . . and many parts for Toyota are sourced from Thailand and the Philippines. . .and in some random remote parts of those countries. . . yeah.

^ Okay. The Cadenza isn't embarrassing. Where do they get these names? Sounds like a piece of furniture. Oh wait, that's CREDENZA.

that girls kinda go crazy over. Don't ask me why, but they seem to like them.

Oh, and I drive a toyota. you know, the car company that actually thinks quality is a good thing. The one that actually solves the issues their cars have, not let them linger for a decade.

^ WTF is this pseudo-wannabe flamer even doing here?

Everytime I see that car-- I get visions of little hamsters and gerbils

Based on non-existent problems. Car companies, especially the biggest ones, are forced to be proactive with safety related things even when a problem isn't proven. In Toyota's unintended acceleration cases, a mechanical problem still hasn't been proven or identified. Anyone who knows anything about cars, knows it was driver error. "Black boxes" have already indicated that the gas pedals were mashed before accidents, rather than the brake that the drivers claimed. And Toyota could not point the finger at customers for obvious reasons. The recalls and meaningless repairs were an unfortunate requirement to maintain public relations.

the only thing i've done to mine aftermarket is an AFE intake...and i took it off because on first serious rain my MAF got wet and it's been acting up bad. so...as soon as i can, i'll trade it in and get something else...chevy, subaru, hell even a ford over toyota.

I agree with you, if I wasn't on top of everything in my Yaris it would be crap by now!

I have an endless list of things going bad like my tranny, at this point I prefer not worry much about looks and more about dependability even if the car depreciates quicker than the Yaris, for me my time is more important than taking this thing for 278 days for just repairs, that’s the time the car its been out of service, tomorrow the warranty may replace my right control arm so the count still going.

I’m am very disappointed with Toyota’s quality

What kind of loser joins a forum for a car he doesn't even own?!?

If he's not even smart enough to know that he should be on VWVortex.com, and not here; then he shouldn't even be allowed on the Internet!
The guy's a definite troll, and needs to be banned.

[hazzy]

For me its probably the Nissan Micra.
Not being sexist or anything, but i doubt I see any males driving those unless otherwise, its the only thing they can afford...
