Replying to: backy (Feb 22, 2008 7:56 am) Take two toy cars of different weight and of the same weight, and try to model the situation. If the door holds, air bag deploys, seat belts are fine, it’s all about for how far the hitting car will penetrate into the door. In case of a lighter car, like Yaris, it will be just moved out of the way, without letting F-150 to really “penetrate”. Sure, you are risking some great Gs when the car spins around, but you have a much bigger chance to be actually hit, if you are sitting in a much heavier vehicle. Imagine yourself in a house near a window, when F-150 drives into it. House is not moving, F-150 goes all the way into the room killing you. You have bigger chances to survive sitting in a trash container.

Replying to: backy (Feb 22, 2008 9:20 am) I disliked the Aveo. Try getting A/C, power steering, power brakes, power windows, automatic, rear defroster on the same Aveo. You can't. GM feels that the Aveo does not have the power to operate all those options at the same time. Toyota 1.5 VVT-i motor has the power to operate all available options at the same time. One minor problem. The Yaris electrical system does not generate enough electrical power to run the rear window defroster. So power is drained from the battery. So the rear window defroster should be turned off as soon as possible. Once the Yaris is warmed up keeping the rear window free of frost, without using the rear window defroster, is not a problem. |

Replying to: bamacar (Feb 02, 2008 8:17 pm) In fact, one magazine gave the Yaris an excellent 5 stars while the Aveo had a 12/20 score when it was tested The Aveo in the Philippines has a 1.5 Ecotec engine with 84hp (which is the least powerful among rivals) While the Yaris has a 107hp VVT engine. In fact, the Yaris sedan is called as the Vios, which is the best selling vehicle in our country I advise you to shop wisely and test drive. Just giving my opinion. The Yaris takes the top cake here..

Ah - helpful. I did hear the Italians are basing the next Ferrari on an Aveo too.
