Well, I hear ya, and I too love my Yaris, but you need to understand human nature....just because there are 3,000 or 30,000 Yaris lovers on a site, does not necessarily mean that this is proof of it being a great car.

When people buy something, they will defend that product no matter what, regardless if it is a good product or not. Not talking about everyone, but most people are irrational in this way.

Don't get bothered by bad reviews of our fine car...who cares what others think? What matters is what you think!

And don't just pick on auto journalists....to be fair, even Yaris owners (some of them) are also irrational....actually calling the awesome Honda Fit trash, and such...this irrational stupidity is no better then the attitudes of some auto journalists.

I love my Yaris, but for the record, I think the Fit is a better car, but I didn't want to spend the more $$ to get it. No regrets having the 2007 LB for me however.
