Replying to: ttai (Jul 22, 2007 6:28 pm) This happens to be a discussion about a Hyundai and how it compares to a Toyota. How about we stick to the subject rather than making personal digs?

I'm waiting for the people who think Toyota's are such a big bargain to wake up and smell the Starbuck's. Even my current car-provider, Mitsubishi, makes a more admirable offering than anything Toyota makes right now. Toyota's really got the buying public buffaloed.   And, yes, Toyota's will break down and Toyota will try and get out of reimbursing you for a failed component or part. I have read up enough on it to know it's true. Kia and Hyundai and Mitsu have the best Warranty in the car business and they stand behind it, too.   A good smack of humility would really be in order for Toyota and those that mightily praise them. More power to Hyundai and Kia. And Mitsubishi.

Replying to: backy (Jul 22, 2007 5:20 pm) I'm an artist. I get annoyed if I have to drive an ugly car. I chose the Yaris partly because it's just a beautifully designed car. Mazdas are nice too. When I looked at the Hyundai, all I can think of was "why". Oh man, they made a mini Ford Taurus. It's just as expensive to design a nice looking car as it does an ugly car. Look at the Chevy Cobalt. What was GM thinking? If I had to drive an Accent, I would be really angry. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 25, 2007 7:07 am)

Replying to: ttai (Jul 25, 2007 5:56 am) Different strokes for different folks. When I look at the Yaris hatch, two words come to mind: insufferably cute. The Accent hatch is more conventionally styled but I like it, especially in SE trim with the 5-spoke 16" alloys.
#367 of 443 I still think that Toyota missed the by iluvmysephia1 Jul 25, 2007 (11:28 am)
boat by not offering the 5-door hatch Yaris. I would've at least test drove one of those before buying my '08 Lancer GTS. I just think that Toyota is over-rated and they offer a more lacking Warranty than Hyundai, Kia and Mitsubishi.   Add to that what I feel is better car body styling and Toyota is more to be avoided than bought. Toyota and Honda do offer excellent resale values and their reliable reputation are enough for most people to bite. Not I, though.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jul 25, 2007 11:28 am) Actually, Toyota does offer the Yaris 5-door hatch, but it's called the Scion xD and it looks a lot different than the Yaris. Different as in "hideous", IMO. The Yaris is a thing of great beauty compared to the xD.   Consider however that Hyundai doesn't offer the 5-door Accent here either. Closest you can get is the Rio5, based on the same platform as the Accent, with the same engine.
#369 of 443 And that Kia Rio5 is getting great by iluvmysephia1 Jul 25, 2007 (12:32 pm)
reviews, too. Apprently it's built for sport in terms of handling. The price is right, IIRC about $14,195. I have not shoved that little hatch completely out of my mind for possible purchase one day. I would definitely get the 5-speed manual transmission for my Rio5, no CVT or 4-speed automatic for that car. Replies to this message: ttai (Jul 26, 2007 4:07 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jul 25, 2007 12:32 pm) The Rio5 is an obvious copy of the Mazda Protoge 5. The problem with the Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki is their suprisingly bad gas mileage. The magazines that review these cars have a bent towards sportiness so they tend to rate sportier cars higher. The Yaris has the best gas mileage which is why most people buy these cars. I predict many will be upset by the bad gas mileage of the kia and Hyundai.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jul 25, 2007 11:28 am) Strange as it may seem, I like to have a reliable car. I've missed enough work time because of having to bring a bad car to the shop to have warranty work done to be completely sick of it. Strangely enough, I also like eating on clean dishes, crash proof operating systems, and non-sticky movie theatre seats. Go figure. I must be part of the gullable masses.

Replying to: ttai (Jul 26, 2007 4:54 am) In case you hadn't noticed, Hyundais including the Accent are pretty darn reliable these days. I've owned two Hyundais so I can speak from some experience. They were as reliable as any other car I've owned, including three Toyotas. This isn't 1987, it's 2007 and times have changed.   Is the Yaris immune to problems? Not from what I see in the Yaris discussions. At least when the Accent has a problem, it's covered for a lot longer than the Yaris is.
