No respect in a Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have been asked more than once where the battery is. I always laugh and say it's under the hood. I have also noticed a few people pointing at my Yaris and talking about it. They seem to be smiling and laughing, so I assume they are joking about it. The SUV/big vehicle mentality still reigns supreme down here. If gas goes to $5.00 a gallon by this summer, I will be the one laughing. Heck, I'm laughing now at $3.60. My gas bill is 1/3 of what it has been compared to my 97 Tacoma.

Yeah, Toyota does not advertise the Yaris. I knew the name, but when I was looking for a small vehicle, I was looking hard at Corollas and had totally forgotten about the Yaris. Since Corollas (even used ones) are overpriced here, I searched for a Yaris and luckily found mine at a good price.
