I did a head-to-head comparison of the Accent GLS and Yaris sedan today; here are my impressions: backy, "The Forums Test Drive Team" #179, 8 Apr 2006 9:37 pm

objectiveness in his car reviews. He has reviewed many a car in his regular posts, too, not just in this 'Forums Test Drive' format and I always look forward to reading what he has to say. giantkiller, man, Toyota doesn't need a leg up help from you, anyway, man! I am totally Hyundai/Kia and now I am even looking at a 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan as a possibility. In my view the new Yaris has classic, cool and sporty lines to it that draw me to it. Plus, it has that legendary Toyota quality(why would this car be an exception to the Toyota rule?)going for it plus great resale value. It rings up to a whopping $14,589 and that is certainly acceptable to me. My own 'Low End" sedan price criteria is more like "let's keep the total before T&L price to be under $15,000." With all the cool small cars coming out now one can do that and still get a very, very nice car.  What I'm saying is Toyota's grabbing new customers all the time. No need to jealously back them up all the time. Their products speak for themselves.

Replying to: giantkiller (Apr 09, 2006 11:54 am) I know I am biased. I am biased towards cars that are comfortable to drive, have a good mix of ride and handling in the kinds of driving most of us do in these cars (and that's not canyon-carving), are high quality, reliable, economical, safe, versatile, and a good value. Every reviewer, including the "pros" at Edmunds.com, C/D, MT, CR etc. is biased. But each reviewer has his/her own biases. I am not biased towards any particular brand. Let the best car win. You obviously have biases that differ from mine and those lead you to consider the Yaris superior to the Accent. That's fine. That's what discussion boards like this are all about. If everyone agreed on everything, they would be very dull. |
