Model/Year:

2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback

General experience:

Starting today I’m ready to sell out my Toyota Yaris and I can explain why. It used to be my second car, but I gave my Honda Civic to my son as a present and you know what – I’ve been having this car for two years never driving it in heavy rain. Yesterday was my first heavy rain on Toyota Yaris and I hope it’s going to be the last. Well, I’ll tell you something at first. I used to always have small cars because of the easy control and small gas consumption, so I’m an experienced driver and I know how the car should act in rain and what I as a driver should do. Today I was driving home and it started raining all of a sudden. I was driving accurately on a highway at about 40 mph and at some moment I felt the wheels had lost the road and speedometer surged 70 mph in a moment. I thought that was it, because it was really scary. Somehow I tried to balance Toyota Yaric, but the vehicle has gone crazy and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. I don’t recommend to buy this car, unless you like adrenaline more than your life.

Pros and cons:

+ Gas saving, ecology saving.

- Danger to drive in rain. Unstable and scary performance on the wet road.
