Hate to say it but the Yaris IS a cheap car and I love mine after 1 week. It's just too bad that some people are obviously smart enough to recognize a great vehicle but get lost in the minor details.

Hey Henry, didn't your 40 year old muscle car run on leaded fuel?

Ruffy: I think you need to read the part about computers retarding ping before you hear it. Not hearing ping doesnt mean a damn thing. I would like anyone who knows what "ping" sounds like sound off if they have EVER heard their Yaris ping...
About Leaded fuel: Uh yeah thats all they had then. Whats your point, it was killing polar bears or something?
Not sure I would call .10 cents a gallon an investment. And yes there are some name brand gasolines that only put their top tier detergent/additive package in their premium...and in addition some top tier brands that have any decent additive package at all. But it appears it only takes one week to know everything there is about a new car unless I'm reading your post wrong.
I dont hate to say it...the Yaris is a CHEAP ASS CAR. But its also a damn good car drivetrain wise, worth that dime a gallon "investment". I hope I dont end up losing my house putting premium in my Yaris....
Marthos: I'll see if I can find a pic it was an XR7, fire engine red, with black vinyl top, a real looker...sweet Mo-Par BTW, 383?
