Top 20 Most Dangerous Vehicles(yaris in the list) - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hatch Yaris here in Canada, doesn't have side curtain airbag, even as an option. Sedan Yaris has it in option, but only with all possible options together. Still trying to understand Toyota's mentality....

Yaris has indeed a lack a stability in emergency handling, the car is very light - especially the rear half, and also the rear suspension is too soft. However, one nigh on the highway I almost crashed into a deer. As I saw it at the very last moment in the front of the car (was running across the highway) I had to violently turn the steering. Well, the car managed to stay on the road without rear sliding! Only the tires were non factory (changed for Michelin).

I did an emergency maneuver in my Yaris while taking my wife to the airport one morning. It was me, my wife, and my 2 kids. A 4X4 wooden board fell off a truck carrying a bulldozer or something fell into the road on the highway right ahead of me. I did the fastest high speed lane change I've ever tried, and successfully avoided the wood, not so for the SUV behind me. This is with the stock suspension and stock tires. The Yaris performed this beautifully. I think they are on crack, or it only pertains to the sedan.

The sedan performs perfect on high speed turns and what not. I love mine. Highly speed turns I feel the back end but that is like 80 in a 90 degree turn type stuff I am talking about.

I drove my S during the winter and had no issues with the car and its suspension...the only thing that sucked was the stock tires, which I am hoping to change before this winter season.

In Europe the Yaris is one of the safest cars in it's class.
The Euro-NCAP tested it.

My car is a Yaris 1.4 D-4d Linea Sol and has 7 airbags.

Gee, I made it through several years of rag top jeeps with no seat belts let alone air bags. Hell, my first couple pickup trucks had nice steel dashes and non safety glass. I guess when your time is up it really doesn't matter what you are driving. I do agree that all the safety features are nice, but you still are safer in your car then you are eating shit food for your short stay on this earth.
