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..".

eTiMaGo · 03-18-2009, 02:50 PM

"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.

PETERPOOP · 03-18-2009, 03:02 PM

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

Thanks POOP!

PETERPOOP · 03-18-2009, 03:09 PM

Haha, sorry.

detroiter · 03-18-2009, 03:12 PM

I usually just get "what is that thing?" or "dirty looks" from people, but then again I'm in Detroit..what do you expect lol. Pretty much unless it's some high end exotic, most people here will cry you a river if you own a "foreign job" as they love to affectionately classify imports.

During the summer months though when it's all waxed up and looking nice, shiney..I tend to get alot of comments that it's cute or that it must get good gas mileage.
