Maybe they're trying to decide if you ran into a bucket of blue paint

That's about all I ever hear also.
It really doesn't bother me however, as I really don't want to drive an ugly car.

Also, I'm used to it as I also have an '02 Celia and even litte old ladies call that cute.

I guess I like cute women and cute cars.

I always get the old: you're car is really good on gas, aint it?

I've been getting a lot of comments like: your yaris stands out for its black wheels so props to the wheels, not the ride lol.

Only two comments so far, my neighbor ask if it was electric and "Wow, that's a small car" (From the clerk at 7-11 when I parked between 2 full size trucks in front of the store.).
Once I get around to doing the exhaust, my neighbor will probably wish that it was electric.

my mom saw my car for the first time this past weekend and asked if it will even do 70 on the freeway. my dad thinks it's a death trap.

The first time I brought it to work, a co-worker (not knowing who's car it was) said he wanted to pick it up with the backhoe and spin it around. Everyone asks about mileage.

Girlfriend said it looks like an egg. She loves it.

Yes, but what do people that don't own a Yaris say about your car?

I mostly get..."You get like 70 miles to the gallon with that thing?" or "Reminds me of one of those little wind up cars". I also get worse comments sometimes but that's usually from the redneck crybabies who work for one of the Little 3.
