..couple of years ago, people at my work said yaris is the worst of all Toyota product for USA.
last week, one of them asking info of the dealer who sold the yaris to me, plan to buy one for her kid.

PS: i still think Toyota owe USA a lot of explanation!

What explanation? About unintended acceleration? Toyota is average for complaints regarding unintended acceleration. Companies such as VW have a much higher complaint rate but the media doesn't go after them because they're small. Toyota is expected to be perfect and now something may be wrong and there's a firestorm.

this media firestorm has been created to hurt toyota in the us, while allowing GM and Chrysler to capitalize and try to actually sell a few vehicles.

Yes why?!

Hmm? Probably because GM did not do well in the Cash-for-Clunkers program, while Toyota and others shined?

Follow the money! It's all about the money, unfortunately...

don't forget there are recalls by TOYOTA all over the globe . Including the YARIS accelerator pedal . Always a conspiracy

. So many radicals ( extremists ) . O.C.D. is the likely culprit

. It's a car , not a GOD

Not just Toyota is having these recalls. Sitting in the doc's waiting room last week, heard on the news that Nissan is having a rather large recall of a good number of their vehicles for similar issues. But you don't see them plastered all over the news like Toyota has been.

Every company will have recalls. No one is perfect. Toyota's just been overdue for one, that's all.

I just found this on a Prius forum....http://www.spiegel.de/international/...682417,00.html

Copied directly from the article....."No other country in the world has comparable problems with cars accelerating on their own. In the US, though, "sudden unintended acceleration" is a mass phenomenon. It has become the topic of various nonfiction books and online self-help groups -- indicators to those affected that they aren't alone."

I've had my Yaris for about 3.5 years. They recalled it on the floor mat thing, but never had any problem. I've never had any problem at all with my car. Its performance has been excellent. It has that symbol that tells you when it has warmed up. It doesn't accelerate perfectly until it warms up, then it runs smooth. It always seemed that it wasn't warmed up, so it seemed fine.

I heard there was a recall of Yaris' in Europe. As long as they are in Europe it doesn't bother me because I'm sure that the cars going to Europe are different than the ones coming here. As long as there is no concern over the Yaris as far as acceleration, I don't see why we should worry.

It's the best deal in the Toyota world. It's an inexpensive car with the best fuel efficiency without being a hybrid. You wouldn't get your money's worth with a hybrid. I've been extremely happy with my Yaris.
