..but that's only in stop and go traffic. Still, I wish Toyota would have fixed that.

I think there was a recall for that.

Side-note...in the warranty, it lists 'Acts of God' as an exlusion.....read it...laugh .... if you are a victim of an 'Act of God' I don't think making a warranty claim should be your greatest worry.

Don't be disappointed. The car is marketed as Toyota's BUDGET / entry-level car. It is what it is.

In the US, the reviews I've seen tend to be negative, but in Europe, where practically every car on the road is small enough to fit in your pocket, it's quite the competitive car.

This thread is the funniest thread in a long time. It's been hijacked by comediens. Otterhere is not finding a whole lot of sympathy for the 5 billion items wrong with her Yaris. She and Bobby should get together, no? He can praise the PHIT and she can the SWIFT...

33OH · 02-18-2009, 03:20 PM

I used to be sympathetic to Otterhere, I even personally invited her to our Spring Meet.

But when a person starts complaining about change holders, I mean.. Come on now.

Tamago · 02-18-2009, 03:20 PM

and i'm not a die-hard-the-yaris-is-the-best-car-in-the-world person either!!! :D

SIPNGAS · 02-18-2009, 03:21 PM

Like we've said...it's an entry level Toyota. None of us bought this car for it's luxurious features...face it..there none. But it's a GOOD car and a FUN car and really, I wouldn't want anything else.

Hey, now... I dropped the complaint about the change holders when I learned they were designed to accomodate foreign currency; Yaris gets a pass on that one...

SIPNGAS · 02-18-2009, 04:16 PM

Right...why bother with the change holders when there are so many other things to complain about?

That is a funny thread!

The Fit is a great car in many ways, but it sure looks like sh..t. What were they thinking?!!

I understand how Otter feels, though, sometimes, it's hard to let go of a good car that really works for you.

otterhere · 02-18-2009, 04:24 PM

The Fit is truly butt-ugly... But the Swift, now; talk about a thing of beauty...

Do you have a picture of that car? Or a link to one just like it? I'm really curious now about what that "superior" car looks like. Seriously. The one on Wikipedia doesn't look all that extraordinary. What gives?

You know, if you really miss it that much, you might try to see if they have a forum for it or some place where you can rave about it all you want. Might make you feel better.

I, too, would like to see a picture of this "thing of beauty."

Got a picture of your Swift that you miss so much?

frownonfun · 02-18-2009, 09:04 PM

this is the only swift i'd trade for my yaris...

Kal-El · 02-18-2009, 10:17 PM

I can't believe I'm hearing arguments that the old Suzuki Swift is better than the Yaris!

Otterhere, We're still waiting for you to tell us what Swift you had (year)?

Was it the last one available in the US??? (below?)....

(one of the ugliest, cheapest cars ever made)

I can't find a single interior pic of any Swift out of a googleplex of images on Google.

jo. · 02-18-2009, 10:35 PM

LOL!! i honestly can't believe someone would rather have a swift than a yaris. maybe if you squint really hard and tilt your head to the side...BIG maybe.

Pitt Yaris · 02-19-2009, 03:35 AM
