except the rex has potential, where as the yaris... not so much. :(

i guess you don't pay much attention. Look at what ilikerice has been doing with his yaris in STF.

Or what CaliYaris has created.

etc, etc, etc.

The Yaris has tons of potential, it just takes more money, because back then honda was the only import anyone payed any attention to.

i didn't say the yaris had NO potential. just not as much as a honda - and that's a FACT.

it certainly is not, with the exception of one or two models made a long time ago. The rest of the hondas simply ride on that long ago idea.

if you want to be a blind honda fanboi, that's fine. But there's a reason no one mods newer hondas. Hell, there's a reason no matter where you go the same generation of Integras/Civics/CRX's/Del Sols are the modded hondas, and very little else. They were, and still are if you can find a decent example, an amazing platform for anything you want to do with them. And of course you'll see a few preludes still around, and maybe the odd duckling s2000, which is a sensational machine, but isn't modified that much.

but current hondas are garbage. There is a reason honda shouted from the rooftop about an S2000 areo kit they decided to start selling. Even they know their current lineup is crap.

Now stop being a jackass in a Yaris owners thread about modding a CRX on a Yaris forum. If you want to be a honda fanboi, go do it on a civic forum.

LOL!

Crx > Yaris

You know what? i've driven Honda's and without the doubt they are a bit more fun than Toyota's. Yaris is good not great as the civic or crx.We have to honest here.

are you serious with this? when was i being a "jackass"? all i said was hondas have more potential for speed than a yaris. that's just my opinion... you're allowed to yours, and that is mine.

I have the highest affection for my Yaris I have ever had for unliving object.

[Superfly]

Definitely. I just am not as impressed with the other B segment autos.

[UberSilver]

I dont love my Yaris, but I love Toyota for making it. And my Land Cruiser.

Love it? Not yet. Went with it because of MPG, reliability, and total cost of ownership. I would have liked to have a few more features (seat adjustments, XM radio equipped, separate Odometer and trip indicators, a bigger clock display, a bigger mpg display (dedicated display), and cruise control. I'm happy about wind up windows and no bulky keys.
I hate that the doors interior is so easily scratched.
I wish it had a six speed MT. I would have bought a 6 speed AT as I'm getting tired of shifting gears when many cars are getting the same gas mileage with either and AT or
MT.
I had to have a MT as I did not want to take the mpg hit. SE with MT was impossible to find (almost). I had to settle for a three door.
I'm still on the first tank of gas, MPG seems to be improving.
Not enough power outlets. I'm adding a three hole power strip, but that means extra wires.
I'm adding a XM radio. It's hard to find a good location to mount it as they seem to go out of the way to make surfaces curved.
Big grip, at 6' tall the seat does not go back far enough.
My foot keeps hitting the bump on the left side of the clutch pedal, I am finding that I don't stick the clutch in far enough at times.
Steering seems to resist driving straight. It's wants to fall over to one side or the other. On the other hand I don't seem to have to fight the wheel like I did in my Rio (it often required constant pressure to combat the slope of the road).
I love the tight turning radius.
Too much wind noise. I have heard the wind whistling at times.
Too much tire noise.
I do not want a tire pressure monitoring system. Too much hassle.

love everything but i can handle it when it's too slow where my foot is all the way down and it's does not going anywhere
