Instead, it entices educated shoppers who value an attractive sticker price, low cost of ownership and time-proven reliability. The Yaris is not the most exciting or best-driving vehicle in the subcompact segment, but its quantifiable strengths appear to make it the most trusted choice - a much-respected position that appears to sit just fine with Toyota." -- Autoblog

Yeah, that was the review I thought most about while writing that post.....especially the line that matti later singles out in post #15.

I agree the Yaris is no tire burner but my SE handles pretty darn well and is just as good at any other sub compact at zipping around city streets and is a snap to park. Plus the fact its a hatchback i can put stuff in there i could never get in a 4 door sedan car like a 30 gallon water heater from Lowes lol :) Those Yaris haters can go pound salt as far as I am concerned.
