Product Review: Toyota Yaris

In my whole life, I’ve only rented vehicles a total of three times. Two of those three times I’ve gotten a Toyota Yaris Sedan. <sarcasm>Let me tell you how much I loved it.</sarcasm>

I’m a big Toyota fan. I love their cars, they make very solid cars. I even considered buying a Matrix at one point in time. However the Yaris was worse than my old Hyundai Pony. The car was scary in snow (I drove it during a freak snowing in Edmonton) and on a small windy highway. I felt like Dorothy getting blown away in a tornado except: (1) I don’t own a dog named Toto, (2) I don’t live in Kansas and (3) I’m not not a girl named Dorothy who hallucinates about wizards, witches, lions, scarecrows and tin-men. Have you ever been in a car when it was thrown from side to side, 3 lanes at a time? Take my word for it, not fun.

Have you ever driven a Campbell soup can down a highway? I have! It’s called a Toyota Yaris and it felt as unsafe as a termite infested wooden roller coaster ride. I had a strange feeling that it would collapse on impact with a stuffed teddy bear leaving me trapped inside. And lets face it, when it comes down to “cars that I would be caught dead in” the Yaris is the last on my list.

So in conclusion, don’t buy a Yaris. If you’re renting, opt for the Mustang.
