Is Yaris hatred a result of ignorance?

^... yes, let them have their pride, you can laugh all the way to the bank. There are many other areas to fight a good fight, cars isn't exactly one of the better fights.

Since I fit the profile as an asian, underaged boy behind the wheel of a riced out Yaris, I get this comment a lot. Whether it be online or in person lol.

You bought the Yaris for you and not for others, so enjoy your Yaris with pride.

What ever happened to the simple car that can take you from point A to point B? It's sad how nowadays the car is looked at and paired with it's driver as a ranking system. It's sad that it's mostly true.

But like you said, who cares what others think. You love the Yaris, and we all do. That's why we're all here.

We can laugh all the way to the gas station as well.
