its just cause you cant drive yet Jeremie. You have a fear, thats just your only problem. It's not driftin. Lets just leave it as overstear. Drifting is something else. Ive made my car overstear a few times already. Its really hard cause its so small and theres no waight at the back.

Oh well I'm not one to say anything, I guess I did more or less the same thing and plowed my mom's car through a roadside concrete post and into a monsoon drain... oops!

Thats not all of it.
Trust me. No one can top Jeremie's story of how he crashed his car. His story is on I-club and on nasioc. Lol He's one lucky kid. If anyone wants to know the story. Tell me. I know every detail of what happend and some of my own thoughts of what he did wrong. Its perty long of a story though but very amazing to read about.

Because the car is hot and it is great on mileage. I can afford the payments is also a big plus.

Cause Honda pissed me off when they dropped the cheapo double wishbone civic and the Yaris looks nicer then the Fit and is just as sporty.

I just fell in love with the looks of the little bastard! Then I drove one and realized that it was more than just your average compact- The legroom, headroom, quickness, handling, and just the fact that it does not look like every other car on the road. I have not found anything in its class that i would trade for now.

Boom! That's it. I'm on page 1, but this one hit the nail on the head for me.
I can afford it = $13,600 "out the door" (all taxes & all the other crap added-in) (cash deal ) Gas mileage = 36mpg average Reliability = Toyota The rest (kinda cute, isn't it?) is just icing on the cake. It was purchased to get me to work @ 76 miles round trip. Man, does that ever add-up (almost 20,000 miles per year alone)! It was to be a disposable car. I was gonna wear it out 'n' throw it away like a paper towel, then buy a new one, and so on... Since then, I changed jobs. My new job is now a mere 10 miles round trip, so my wife is driving it to take her to work (44 miles round trip). Looks like I'm not gonna wear it out so fast. hehe We use it all the time though, not just for going to work, it's a great little around-town ride! I just hate how the SUV's and pickups act, like I'm supposed to move out of their way, even when there's a car right in front of me which is why we're not moving any faster. Dumb jerks - but, that's another thread, i guess. |

Well, I had an old Ford Festiva for my daily econo drive, that I didn't trust much after 100 thou. miles, and didn't drive much. But my SUV only gets 17 mpg. The Yaris LB looked like the perfect replacement, but when I checked the area dealer, they didn't have one yet. He called me a couple of days later with an S Sedan with power package, spoiler and 5-speed that he thought I should see, and it was love at first sight/drive. I've gotten 37-41 mpg over the 11,000 miles we've been together so far, and I still grin a little when I see her in the parking lot after a long day at work. The SUV only pulls the boat now, and the Yaris is a joy for a daily drive. I agree that the standard sedan looks kind of not so hot, but the S with the spoiler, she's pretty sweet for me.

You pretty much listed everything there is. And I agree on almost all points except 3, 7 and 10. #3 - I didn't get to pick the color. They only had two liftbacks with manual transmission and power package - meteorite metallic and black metallic. Black one was being sold when I showed up at the dealeship. #7 - I agree that Yaris handles very good. But Mini is a little devil when it comes to handling. And its wheels aren't wider either! Its body is shorter than Yaris' by an inch or so. So unless you put wider tires on Yaris and replace suspension, it's no match for Mini handling wise. #10 - Time will tell. And I'd like to add an 11th point. #11 - My primary motivation for getting a Yaris LB was my obsession with little cars. I just don't see myself driving anything bigger anymore. |
