yeah CR has hated the Yaris since the beginning for lack of safety, since then ABS and side airbags are standard but the hate remains

I don't think it's a matter of "hate" at all. They praise the Yaris for fuel economy, braking, (improved with ABS) turning circle, cabin storage, and reliabilty. They do not like the comfort of the seats (I agree...they are very unsupportive) but their major gripe is that at highway speeds the rear wheels can slide out rather easily, requiring quick correction, and reducing confidence during accident avoidance. They feel that ESC would be a major benefit to this car, and I feel that that is true.

if there was an '09 YARIS on a lot at this moment with V.S.C. we'd jump on it . Dumbies .
