What I don't like about my new Yaris

I've never had a hatch that did that.

The Honda CRX.

I had the 1987 HF and I'm pretty sure it did that. In fact, I'm pretty sure I locked my keys inside the trunk once because of that feature, or was that another car?

Yeah, the more I think about it and the more I think the CRX HF '87 had the auto lock trunk.

(A pretty advanced vehicle at the time, that CRX, if you ask me)

Interesting. I've driven HB, SUVs and minivans, and none locked the gate by simply closing it.

TOMATO: I owned 3 Honda CRX's--- an '85, '86, and an '88. They all had the auto-lock trunk; and if I remember correctly, the remote hatch release was near the remote gas tank release. I loved those cars - but I think I may end up loving my Yaris just as much - only time will tell!

Wow I too owned am 89 CRX before I got my Yaris ... His name was "Speedy Gonzales II"
I loved that car too and I would still have it if i would've had the $ to fix it up... maybe for my next car/second car I buy another CRX ... here is a pic of my CRX and my yaris side by side before I got rid of the CRX

Otterhere: everything Feel like it high up when your comming from a car like a CRX ... Its one of the things i really like that you can have a small car and yet still not feel like your riding 2 inches fro the pavement ...

Nice rex!! You named her, uh?
I understand.

My CRX *was* the love of my life, no doubt. But she was starting to be an unreliable pain in the @ss towards the end. When a car reaches a certain age, I guess it's probably best to let the mechanics and the enthusiasts own them, uh

Yes, it was!!! I remember that much. As to the auto-lock, I'm 99.9% certain my CRX HF (may she rest in peace ) had it since I made a point of opening the driver's door before I locked the trunk with stuff in it at Costco. I'm pretty sure it was the CRX that locked me out of my own car because I put the keys down, loaded the groceries, closed the trunk, and then went ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sh....t!!!! Yeah, you do it once, you learn not do to that again ;)

The Yaris grows on you. Give yourself time to get used to the clutch (completely different feel from Honda) and you'll find yourself really enjoying the Yaris.
