Wheres the crank?
Do you have to pull it backwards to wind it up?
Everyone thinks is a Hybrid...dont know why..

People wave at me all the time when I am driving.. and I get smiles from tons of bums (or home impaired people to be pc)..

best thing i heard was "is that car that when you buy it you get another little toy car with it?" (refering to the yaris and yaris comercial)

after typing that it isnt very funny, but i definetly thought it was...maybe i typed it wrong...lol

I have once been asked if my car was a "Smart"

.
This morning, I saw an SLK on the road, the car was cute and so I took a good look at it, only to find that the SLK's driver was staring at my Yaris with his eyes wide open. He looked so amazed

Same here. Then when you tell them it's not, but it still gets around 40 MPG, they really start to freak.

Whats wrong with the GF?

Buckethead · 08-02-2006, 04:48 PM

Yeah, get another girlfriend.

foober · 08-02-2006, 05:16 PM

alot of folks think my yaris is a hybrid. So they look at me like i'm a yuppy or something. I have to tell them its not a hybrid but still gets 40 miles to the gallon. Most or almost all folks say its "cute".

swng · 08-02-2006, 06:47 PM

Yes, I have been asked several times if my car was a hybrid too!

Violin · 08-03-2006, 09:17 AM

I wonder about people who need external validation for everything. Sorry about your thingy.

To me, the Yaris HB is a great looking car that is fun to drive, easy on the wallet and reduces my environmental footprint. If it’s not for everyone, there are a lot of other cars out there.

Several people thought it was a hybrid (it does look a little like a Prius from the front). My brother-in-law asked when I was getting the rest of the car. I’ve had several strangers come up and ask me how I like it as they are thinking of buying one. I do get a lot of looks with it. The last car I had that turned so many heads was my 1985 special edition RX-7. This one is a lot cheaper to own.

seriousfun · 08-03-2006, 10:28 AM

I was completely invisible driving my last car - a white Dodge Grand Caravan.

Now, I get looks and smiles! People driving 7xx Benzies stop me and ask what my mileage is! My girlfriend loves it! I swear that I can read lips backwards - I see people behind me saying "that's one of those new Toyotas."

fnkngrv · 08-03-2006, 01:10 PM

Alright Today I was a bit put back. I have shaved the badges on my S and someone actually came up to me and asked me what body kit I had put on my Corolla cause they thought that it looked sweet!!!

Corolla....wtf batman???

bpreston · 08-28-2006, 08:10 PM

I have never been so stared at since I bought my Yaris. The thing is a conversation piece. I have not seen another HB around in the northeast Phoenix / Scottsdale area. So, I see a lot of turning heads.

One guy said, "Hey, do you take that thing inside at night?".

I replied, "Yep, and hang it up."

St.Francis · 08-28-2006, 10:38 PM

at work they call mine a 'pedal car'

dngz · 08-29-2006, 01:23 AM

I got the Yaris Sedan S right when it came out. When people ask me what kinda car I bought, they think i got the hatchback. I got my car lowered right away by toyota too and when people first saw it, they seemed pretty amazed! I've only had 1 person call it cute and that was from some girl on the viosclub in malaysia! Everybody else thinks it looks really aggressive!

No way this is cute! Like buckethead said, its all man!!

DJ_Trizzak · 08-29-2006, 01:37 AM

girls call my car "cute" and also is called a "rhino"

As I was walking away from my cousin's house one time, her kids asked their dad if my HONDA ELEMENT was a smart car!
