Can Toyota Still Manage to Build an Awful Car? - LA Times Article - Toyota Yaris Forums

Comparing the Yaris to the AW11 (85-89) MR2's for power and weight is almost identical....112hp/2200 lbs......sure they feel totaly different because of gearing/how you sit/weight distribution but these things ran away from Fieros all day long.....with a little lower gearing, stiffer suspension, and sitting like in a gokart it would damn near be the same car.....the Yaris is just an 'improvement' for everyday driving!!!! I currently own an 85, an 86, an 87, and 2 parts cars.... I bought my Yaris for the advantages it has.
