+1. I don't disagree with anything they said, really. But I still know that for me, on the day I was buying and with the budget I had, I made the right call.

Sorry; I think CR is full of it. I remember when I realized it: when they were complaining that the ride of the Corvette was "too stiff." Total lack of credibility, IMHO.

I remember one issue they were rating which beers were the best. C'mon -- it's totally personal preference!

I do not listen to CR.

Fair enough, but there's not a lot of subjectivity in the list of Yaris complaints. Driving position isn't really uncomfortable to me, I suppose, but it's a little awkward and certainly took some getting use to. I continue to search for the right seat position/steering wheel height that leaves me enough leg room without requiring me to drive with my arms straight out.

The idiot media consumer people haven't a clue what a good car is. All they can think of is bells and whistles not practicality and usefulness.

I love my car more then any other car I have ever owned!

And I don't NEED all that fancy shit... I LOVE A SIMPLE CAR!

I want to work on my car, I want to feel the road, It is one of the ONLY cars in America that lets you do that...

... But it could use a Tachometer!
