Is Yaris hatred a result of ignorance?

[eii]

My friends and family love my yaris and all i ever get is good comments. I live mostly around people who only like american cars and lifted pickup trucks, yet they always comment on how nice my car is. The only bad comments I get are from the 'oh snapz v-tec kicked in' kids. Deyz gotta stop hatinz and start appreciatin, ya herd mi?

I just mention my current tank MPG and ask them how ready they are for $4.00 or $5.00 a gallon gas. Most PU truck/SUV drivers will quote the EPA highway MPG for their vehicles. I ask them when the last time they actually verified that is and they never have. They accept the EPA highway numbers as gospel no matter how they drive.

If they press further ask them what their vehicle payments are and then ask insurance premiums. There are a lot of other places I need to spend money besides a bigger vehicle than I need and high insurance payments.

Safety always comes up, ‘that’s too small you’ll be squashed by a big vehicle like mine!’ Not if morons like you learned to pay attention to your driving instead of texting or talking on the phone.

Mine has been a great little car so far and I have little to complain about and a lot to compliment. For me this decision was about finances and saving money.
