As my wise old Aunty always used to say, there's none of us through the world yet, so we don't know what lies in store for us. That said, I do know that I'm physically incapable of causing any breathing thing discomfort let alone death, which makes me wonder what sort of person really could do this.

No, it was in Ghana.

Over a Yaris? No.

A Corrolla. Definitely.

People get killed for a handful of penny's so why not a car. Just shows how depraved some folk are.

As a Yaris owner, I better be careful

 

[rockyroller]

must be a matter of core values & how one is raised. also an enormous level of desperation, during their & their parents lives?

I love my Yaris (though I'm not sure I'd kill for it). 17 years old, 180,000 miles, and it still easily gets 65mpg (diesel), 70mpg+ if I'm driving carefully. Cheap to tax and insure, still (touch wood) running reliably.

I love mine too, something I never thought I would say as I never like Japanese cars previously.

Mine is 18 years old and probably the most basic 1.0l 3 door model in the range but i love the simplicity of it, it's reliability, low running costs and it's pretty good to drive too in a go kart like way.

Over a Yaris? I've driven one quite a few times. Reliable, competent, could carry three people, a few cases and a road bike, but was about as exciting as a toaster. I can't imagine getting even mildly worked up about one!

That used to be my view too but after a year of ownership, I've come to appreciate its many good points and superb engineering.

It's a vastly superior car to the Fabia I ran for a year which was completely without any merit whatsoever, bland beyond belief, also drank petrol and always had something expensive wrong with it.

 

[TheDoctor]

Don't get me wrong - as exciting as a toaster is a good thing.
I want a car to get me to my destination with no fuss or drama. That's it.

Now if it was a Yaris gzr I could understand

There are days when I could cheerfully throttle the person that invented CANBUS, but then owning a Mercedes Vito will do that for you I guess.
