driving impressions

[Mead]

I love my little black Yaris LB, I've had 6 cars in my 15 years of driving, from Wranglers to Mercedes, 90s civics, Mustang v8s lately I've owned convertibles exclusively and I can say no car is perfect BUT the Yaris... considering it's price point and fuel efficiency, design, quality, ride and comfort is very very impressive.

I showed it to my car designer friends and they were . The interior is very stylish, yes some interior bits feel thin but the door (tho big) feels solid and 'thumps' like a lexus.

at first I thought the door is too big but opening it feels weighty and very 'safe'. The door handle actuator feels robust. I perused the honda lot and most of their door handles feel hollow and a bit cheap. (dunno why I have so much to write about the door )

ok the insider of the door , my criticisms is the door lock switch, it's not finger friendly, secondly the off-the-shelf window crank doesn't match the interior design, luckly its out of the way... speaking of the crank it gets in the way of a bottle water if one is in the holder.
