this is very true. also needed to be taken into consideration is how much weight is being placed on things such as performance, luxury, safety, etc. reviews from mags like Car & Driver and Road & Track can be misleading since theire reviews are very heavily performance based. because of this, hondas will always typically do better than toyotas in those comparisons. we need to place more emphasis on their long term reviews, which shows the true liveability of vehicles. with that said, we ARE all human so we cant help but classify, quantify and compare different things. thats in our inherent nature. but one thing that magazines and reports will never be able to quantify is the level of satisfaction that us yarii owners genuinely have.
