HELP! People are bashing the Yaris on YouTube!

Firstly, watch the video. Tell me if this piece of crap Versa sounds just like the tranny is slipping AND look for the "check engine" light that comes on after hard accel. I posted a comment to the video, and then it "started". Check out the vid and comment there if you wish......

CVT = no gears, hence the appearance of slipping. Yaris FTW!!!

I saw. I hate those things. I like to hear and feel a shift myself.

I had a Versa rental with the same exact problem (thinking it was just mine) for a couple weeks before I bought my first new car, which turned out to be a Yaris. I don't recall my Yaris ever struggling like that, even while going uphill. Definitely NOT a shit car...
