What I like best about my Yaris....

[Idahotom]

I like the hood....every time I raise it I really like how light it is, while at the same time how well designed. A small matter perhaps but indicative of the entire car's design, simple and light. The latch is easy to find also.

The turning radius:on my rural dirt road, there is a row of mailboxes for all the homes within a mile or so. I am the only one able to pull up alongside my box, get mail, and make a clean u turn out of there! It's very tight, and I come close to a ditch at the outer radius, but I do it every day because I can!

What I don't like: coming out of a store with a big parking lot, I can't find the damn thing I'm spoiled though in that regard, my other ride being a 43,000 lb. crane truck 12' high with my company name in big letters on it, that I can find.

Very important feature IMO. When another member wrote that his leased SE has a much larger turning radius than a base one (and that he doesn't like the turning radius on the SE), I crossed the SE off my 'future consideration' list.

That's so true, Tom. It's so funny how our little pod cars literally disappear between the SUV's. I have to make a note of the vehicles next to mine and hope they don't leave before I do!

My single most favorite feature of my Yaris has to be the drink holders in the dash. With the A/C pointed at my drink, it will stay cold. In fact, put a room temperature drink in them and they get cold.

Keep your beer cold, roger

Seriously. The Gen3 will disappoint you - those dash cupholders are GONE.

There's much I like about the Gen3; but I miss the dash layout. All that storage space - no more.

I agree with this 100%. Off the top of my head, the only other things I really dislike about the 3rd Gen are the lack of an all dark colored interior and the lack of a keyed hatch. However, my dislike of those two omissions pales in comparison to my dislike of the 3rd Gen dash (because it isn't the 2nd Gen dash ).

This is the first thing I fell in love with when I got my Yaris. That, and its small size.

That's what my wife said too!
