Do you love your car?

[DARKSCOPE001]

I love my car :) I love how quiet it is and how enjoyable the ride to work is now. I dont have to ask myself every day. "will I make it to work safely, will my poor beater make this trip and back without a problem?"

Well the beater quit so i got my yaris, I suppose i should specify. I dont "love" it (or well love it in terms of being inlove with a car, if you propose to a car please see a doctor ) Im not yet "in love" with my car because I havent gotten to know it. My old beater I was under that thing every weekend catching up on all the routine maintinance that it was deprived of in order to breathe new life into it in hopes that I could get it to last till I had some more money saved up.

Fast forward to present, Brakes locked up on the way to work in my beater(siezed caliper) , I dont have the motovation to do work on the brakes, and I needed to do the cv shaft on the pass side that I had been putting off and putting off, was saving for a new car anyways, So I got my yaris. But I think to truly love a car you need to shed alot of blood sweat and tears, I havent done that yet with the yaris, and I havent named it.

But none the less its a awesome car and I look forward to many good years of service.

Thanks
Sean Scott

Sorry, I gotta correct this as a crx enthusiast.

1st gen 83-87

2nd gen 88-91 (88-89, 90-91 had small cosmetic differences like the yaris does between their 07-08, 09-11) This is why I like the Yaris so much, because It is sooo similar to the crx.

I am hoping, in a few years thanks to the 3rd gen yaris, that a company will be rise and see the potential in the Yaris for engine swaps and do some R&D to make Swap Kits for 1zz, 2az, and more toyota swaps for the Yars. Like how Hasport did with the CRX/Civics.

I just love the MK1 CRXs.

All I can say is I test drove an '11 and nixed the idea of buying one because there were a number of things I wasn't happy with (lack of features, soggy handling, numb steering, crappy seats, I could go on), and they fixed them all with a vengeance in the '12.

Do I love my car? Like others have said, I haven't had enough time with it yet, but I sure do like it an awful lot. The Echo it replaced went 170K miles without needing any repairs at all, and if this one accomplishes the same feat I will certainly love that. :)

So much better than the crap that passes for popular music these days.

Here's my contribution to the topic.

My 2012 is excellent as far as fuel mileage. I have enjoyed the overall quirkiness. i am satisfied.

This is correct. I followed them, never had one, but a girlfriend did (an 88) and I sometimes drove that.

Well, of course it's hyperbole. One can't love an inanimate object .

But from the video, one can!
