About 'toyota yaris red'|2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback Review








There               is               a               rather               thin               and               homogeneous               segment               of               the               population               that               is               in               the               business               of               reviewing               cars.

That               is               why               sometimes               it               is               important               to               look               outside               the               usual               marketing,               P.R.

and               hype               hoopla               surrounding               new               cars               and               seek               an               "alternative"               perspective.

And               boy               we               have               an               alternative               perspective               here.

Michael               Bennett               is               29               years               old               and               is               currently               living               in               the               automotive               heartland               of               Newport               Beach.

His               personal               ride               of               choice               is               a               nearly               new               VW               Rabbit               ("a               lady               never               tells               her               age,"               he               demurs)               but               his               love               of               vehicles               runs               the               gamut               as               long               as               it               is               not               one               of               the               12               foot               long               "socially               irresponsible               vehicles"               that               are               so               common               in               his               neighborhood.

Call               him               a               car               guy               with               a               green               heart.
               It               is               not               Michael's               unique               past,               personality               or               talents               that               set               him               apart               but               it               is               in               fact               his               brilliant               manner               of               verbalizing               his               inner               monologue               that               makes               him               so               hard               to               miss.

Oh               yeah,               that               and               the               fact               that               he               is               6               foot               2               with               a               laugh               that               is               either               grumbly               or               giggly.

(He               is               more               noticeable               when               he               giggles,               as               you               could               imagine.)               Here               are               some               of               Michael's               thoughts               of               what               he               saw               at               the               2009               Orange               County               Auto               Show.

Beware               automakers.

Michael               was               there.

And               he               noticed               everything.
               Let's               start               with               some               of               the               shocks               Michael               felt               at               the               Orange               County               Auto               Show               like               finding               that               he               really               liked               (gasp!

horror!)               a               Taurus!

"When               I               heard               about               the               New               Taurus               all               I               thought               was               'lipstick               on               a               pig.'               While               the               exterior               styling               may               be               a               bit               boring               the               interior               is               like               a               new               world!

The               dash               is               revolutionary               because               it               gives               you               the               feeling               of               being               pulled               forward               but               in               a               positive               and               liberating               way.

This               car               made               me               forget               I               was               in               a               Ford               and               that               I               usually               hate               Fords."
               While               Michael               did               once               own               a               Ford               F-series               pickup,               he               thought               that               the               wood               paneling               used               in               the               interior               of               the               2010               model               looked               like               something               "stripped               off               the               outside               of               a               pool               table."               As               he               poked               the               buttons               and               cast               his               glare               upon               every               aspect               of               the               2010               F-150               he               then               opened               the               center               console               lid.

"What               is               this?

That's               big               enough               for               smuggling               circus               midgets               (ed:               sorry,               little               people)!"
               As               we               passed               the               Fusions               (not               overly               impressed)               Michael               noticed               a               line               of               lime-green               Fiestas               sitting               outside.

"Uck!

It               looks               like               someone               had               too               many               Mojitos               and               threw               up               all               over               it."               Maybe               Ford               should               re-think               bringing               that               shade               Stateside               for               the               June               2010               launch.
               But               easily               Michael's               favorite               at               the               Ford               stand               was               the               Mustang.

He               purred               just               a               little               bit               as               he               stroked               all               the               fine               plastic,               leather               and               metals               in               the               interior.

I               thought               it               couldn't               get               weirder               until               he               said,               "this               car               is               pure               rock               n'               roll.

If               I               had               a               date               with               Tommy               Lee               this               is               the               car               I               would               drive.

It               is               the               utmost               in               trashy               chic."               Enough               said.
               To               catch               all               of               the               bon               mots               that               flow               so               freely               out               of               Michael's               mouth               is               a               frenetic               business.

As               we               passed               the               Lincoln               stand               he               bellowed               a               little               too               loudly               that,               "I               think               this               company               is               done               for."               True               Michael,               but               can               you               use               your               indoor               voice               when               we               are               standing               next               to               a               Lincoln               Representative?

Poor               man               probably               thought               he               was               hours               from               being               laid               off.
               Next               to               come               under               Michael's               ire               was               poor               old               Kia.

First               came               the               Forte               Koup,               "I               would               rather               have               a               simple               sedan               rather               than               a               "Koup"               that               is               trying               that               hard               to               be               something               it               so               clearly               isn't."               The               "trying               too               hard"               theme               continued               onto               the               interiors               of               the               two               Soul               models               we               sat               in.
               The               Soul               !

with               its               upholstery               that               looks               like               something               your               Nana               would               crochet               for               you               at               Christmastime               drew               a               simple               "yuck"               while               the               retina               burning               overload               that               is               the               red               interior               of               the               Soul               Sport               model               got               this               reaction.

"First               off               it               looks               like               someone               spilled               sticky               Sangria               all               over               the               dash               and               doors.

The               seats               are               uncomfortable;               it               isn't               wide               enough               for               two               passengers               even               in               the               back               and               why               is               it               a               box               when               there               is               no               space?

Where               did               the               space               all               go?"
               While               Michael               isn't               a               huge               fan               of               supersize               SUVs               he               was               taken               immediately               by               the               heft               and               chunky               styling               of               the               2010               Dodge               Ram               Pickup               truck.

"Luxurious               but               not               overdone,"               is               how               he               described               it               initially.

He               loved               the               solidity               and               simplicity               of               the               controls               as               well               as               the               whole               macho               pheromone               given               off               by               the               pickup.
               Things               could               be               better               over               at               Toyota               to               Michael's               view.

Once               a               big               fan               of               the               Celica               he               now               finds               their               models               desperately               boring.

When               sitting               in               the               rather               confusingly               styled               interior               of               the               Yaris               Michael               had               this               to               say,               "When               you               put               it               into               drive               I               hope               it               teleports               you               to               another               planet               where               you               have               the               sense               to               buy               a               better               car.

There's               not               even               room               in               the               back               seat               for               Uhura               from               "Star               Trek"               to               tell               you               which               planet               you               are               on."               Yes,               that               was               his               actual               off               the               cuff               remark.
               As               he               left               the               poor               light-blue               Yaris               in               tears               he               sauntered               over               to               the               all               new               Venza.

As               he               inspected               the               interior               and               exterior               he               said,               "Are               they               serious?

You               would               need               a               six               shot               of               Espresso               to               stay               awake               behind               the               wheel               of               this               thing.

And               all               these               Toyotas,               even               the               Highlander,               have               such               frenetic               dash               designs               you               never               know               which               button               to               press               first.

No               wonder               parents               are               stressed               out!"
               But               there               was               a               magic               nugget               to               be               found               on               the               Toyota               stand               and               its               name               was               the               2010               4Runner.

"This               has               always               been               their               best               product               and               this               just               improves               on               its               excellence.

I               would               buy               one.

And               at               around               $32,000               well               loaded               it               is               a               bargain.

Yet               again,               this               works               as               it               is               a               far               simpler               design."
               Moving               to               the               Subaru               stand               Michael               was               due               for               another               shocker.

He               has               always               had               an               irrational               fear               and               hatred               of               Subarus.

(Okay,               he               still               hates               the               Forester.)               But               when               he               looked               at               the               interior               and               exterior               styling               of               the               Outback               wagon               something               in               him               changed.

I               could               even               tell               that               he               looked               like               a               man               who               was               home               or               was               at               least               very               comfortable.

Not               easy               with               a               man               that               tall.
               "I               love               this               car.

It's               not               overdone.

It's               spacious,               comfy               and               there               is               plenty               of               headroom.

It               is               also               chic,               stylish               and               most               importantly               very               economical.

A               great               choice               for               people               tired               of               boring               old               SUV's"               (Unless               they               are               VW               Touareg's               which               are               apparently               stylish               enough               to               pass               Michael's               standards               despite               being               totally               fuel               inefficient.)
               As               we               made               our               rounds               through               the               German               bad               boys               of               BMW               and               Audi               Michael               first               had               this               to               say               about               the               1-series,               "this               is               pure               1980's               BMW               nostalgia               and               I               love               it               for               that."               As               I               sauntered               over               to               the               Audi               stand               Michael               drooled               over               a               convertible               6-series.

He               thinks               this               would               make               a               fine               midlife               crisis               car,               you               know,               someday.
               Michael's               favorite               at               the               Audi               stand               was               the               A5               due               to               the               exterior               styling               being               "classy               and               understated"               while               the               interior               shared               those               traits               only               to               add               a               hefty               dose               of               "really               comfortable."               Seemed               like               the               perfect               car               for               a               cross               country               road               trip.
               Our               final               stop               was               set               to               be               a               test               drive               for               Michael               in               the               new               2010               Fiesta.

I               hoped               it               would               go               better               than               his               rather               negative               first               impression               but               I               learned               a               long               time               to               never               try               and               control               Michael's               opinions.

Right               before               we               headed               outside               me               made               a               stop               to               sit               in               the               pretty               new               2010               Mazda               3.

That               poor               little               car               didn't               know               what               hit               it               from               the               invectives               that               flew               out               of               Michael's               mouth.
               Here               is               the               watered               down,               family               friendly               version,               "I               can               barely               fit               into               this               car               with               the               seat               pushed               all               the               way               back               and               I               am               only               6               foot               2               thanks               to               this               overwhelmingly               forward               sitting               and               bumpy               dash.

The               seat               supports               the               wrong               part               of               your               back               and               my               head               is               going               through               the               roof.

(ed:               yes,               we               adjusted               all               the               controls).

This               is               the               perfect               car               for               people               who               are               5               foot               2               and               headless."
               Finally               the               time               came               for               Michael               to               test               drive               the               Fiesta               and               even               though               he               wanted               to               drive               the               standard               manual               transmission               model               (which               has               a               much               more               powerful               1.6               liter               4               as               opposed               to               the               anemic               auto               equipped               1.4               that               Michael               drove.

The               U.S.

will               probably               just               get               the               1.6.

Hopefully.)
               Getting               in               he               was               impressed               by               the               room,               the               visibility               and               that               it               had               a               standard               telescoping               steering               wheel               to               help               him               get               comfortable.

(How               he               got               comfortable               in               a               Fiesta               and               not               a               3               is               beyond               me.)               As               we               started               the               drive               things               seemed               like               they               were               going               well               as               Michael               tested               out               the               surprisingly               powerful               and               clear               standard               audio               system               and               was               enjoying               the               taut               European               feel               handling.

But               then               he               hit               the               gas               pedal.

And               nothing               happened.

(I               guess               93               horsepower               does               that               to               you.)
               "The               handling               was               great               but               it               just               wasn't               as               fun               as               I               thought               it               would               be.

And               the               automatic               is               just               downright               awful."               (I               grant               you               his               opinions               may               have               been               totally               different               in               the               manual               Fiesta               with               the               larger               engine               but               Ford               can't               afford               to               launch               a               "bad"               automatic               version               of               the               Fiesta               in               this               country.)
               Now               this               completes               part               one               of               The               Alternative               Auto               Show               Views               of               Michael               Bennett.

Next               Stop:               The               2009               Los               Angeles               Auto               Show.

Lord               help               them.

And               come               on.

You               haven't               even               heard               his               thoughts               on               GM               and               Chrysler               products               yet.
