Weird, I paid 17,500 out the door for my SE. Maybe they should have tested that...

Like I'm supposed to believe a review from some jack@ss that doesn't even know how to pronounce the name of the car...

The Toyota "Yeahriss"?

What a horrible review too... The steering wheel is too far back, yet the pedals are too close? So which is it, you sit too far back or forward?

I could go on and on...

I have to agree that the steering is too far for me. I'm tall, and I appreciate the extra legroom and better driving position compared to the older yaris, but the steering is a bit far and it should be telescopic or closer.

Actually it does. At least it does in Toyota Canada's TV ad campaign.

Yeah - there's a post around here that references Toyota's own comments about the origins of the name.

Don't the Canadian's call it the Yaris-eh?

Yeris, Yaris....

what's the difference?

I've been reading automotive reviews for years, and this reviewer is at the bottom of the food chain....sounds like he's got a hard-on (can I say that on the 'net?) for Toyota's Yeris/Yaris, because his review is far from objective.

Give me a made in Japan Yaris over a stateside Corolla any day.

How do you spell "doosh?"
