Yaris & Consumer Reports - Toyota Yaris Forums

Back in 2001 I read several reports and recommendations for the 2001 Chevy Malibu.
Ended up buying one.
The car was nothing but a headache.Multiple repairs before warranty ended and after it was up the repairs were very costly.
Between 37 and 43,000 miles the car overheated , break and battery replacement multiple times.Ignition needed replacing headlights and breaklights always died and the
engine twice went dead during turns.
Had I not read the good reviews I would have probably saved myself alot ot trouble and money.
BTW, I never abused the car.
I bought the Yaris because I have met very happy Toyota owners over the years and a few who adored their echo's.
CU is a very well funded union that needs to make headlines and make deadlines,I have to think they have are somewhat biased.They havn't reported anything about the Yaris that hasn't been written about before .They just happen to circulate it more.
