Got complimented on my Yaris today :) - Toyota Yaris Forums

KRAZGRL · 03-18-2009, 04:45 AM

I bought my 3D hatch about a week and a half ago.

I was at an office building today to pick up a transponder for it and as I was walking in, a businessman complimented me on my car. He said he thought it looked great and asked if it was "one of those extreme gas getters". lol I thanked him and told him the average expected mpg.

It was a nice little gesture and made me feel that much better about my buying decision. Gawd I <3 my Yaris

the steering wheel does? I've gotten "cool"s and "weird"s for both my driver side glove box and center gauges, but whats so strange about the steering wheel? (unless that's what you meant)

I get compliments on my Yaris quite often. It is not an overly common car here in Texas and that draws some attention...

Cheers! M2

Does that steering wheel have air bag? Does it extend the wheel to be closer?

marcus · 03-18-2009, 01:59 PM

i think hes picking you up.. it is a pickup line.. " cute yaris = ur so cute" lolz..

PETERPOOP · 03-18-2009, 02:03 PM

Yah, I don't think you caught on, but it's pretty obvious that he didn't care about the car and just wanted to talk to you. I thought women knew when they were being hit on? Oh wells.

KRAZGRL · 03-18-2009, 02:41 PM

I really don't think he was hitting on me.

Tamago · 03-18-2009, 02:48 PM

just see what happens when you lower it and put on a nice set of wheels :D

marcus · 03-18-2009, 02:49 PM

another line;.." luv ur bumpers..".

"nice yaris... I'm thinking of getting one myself, can I ask you some questions about it, say, over dinner?"

*jclo3313* · 03-18-2009, 03:01 PM

Girls talk to me at the gas station all of the time when I'm in my YARiS.

Well, I don't plan on doing that anytime soon since I need to save my $$$ for bigger and better things (like a house). But, car modding is in my blood and driving me crazy to leave it stock. lol

Feels good when people compliment about your car, this is one example...

My friend owns a brand new Volvo and he let me drive it, so I let him drive my Yaris... he wrote me an email a few hours later...

"The Yaris drives really nice! Much better than I thought"

I also felt very good drinving my car after trying the fancy Volvo.

And I can tell many 09 Corollas looking at my car trying to figure out!

and YES you should FEEL very GOOD about your new 3D hatch, you will have great moments and just wait until breaks in, how soft and nice they feel.

Enjoy!

My boss always makes fun of my Yaris, he says he has a ice box box for my car.

PETERPOOP · 03-18-2009, 03:02 PM

That's because they probably think any guy driving the yaris is gay. Gay guys = No threat.
