Are you given the cars, or do you purchase all of your vehicles?

[mpgomatic]

@JustAnotherJake7 All of the vehicles are loaners from the manufacturers' media fleets. We generally have a week with each one.

[JustAnotherJake7]

@mpgomatic I assume they give you the top of the line model?

[mpgomatic]

@JustAnotherJake7 Often, but not always.

Many thanks for the input, KrokodilaGena.

While we have a personal preference for manual transmissions, we test whatever the manufacturers drop off, whether manual or automatic.

A good many modern automatics are actually more fuel efficient than manuals. Strange but true. :)

4 speed automatic transmission? What a load of horse shit. I seriously wouldn't want that driving me around...

Every competition has redesigned their subcompact cars and even when Toyota comes up with the 3rd generation Yaris it will still struggle to gain back all the customers Toyota pissed off over the past few years with their recalls, poor quality and sub par customer service.

It bothers me how he pronounces 'Yaris'
