a Yaris is a fucking sweet car. barebones, direct feedback to driver, light, can push to the limit.
it's so much more fun to drive than an FR-S is on a public roads. and safer.

We have a Yaris, great car, good pickup. It can actually fly fairly well if one is willing to let it.
Unironically the scene around the yarris is fucking baller and it's the exact kind of car that car culture is built around
Cause it’s cheap and/or easy to work on?
Yeah and it's a solid frame for modification with easy to source parts
Sometimes I slam my gas pedal to the floor and watch my car never leave economy mode as it gently works its way up to 48 miles per hour, a perfect speed to go while on a Portland highway doing fifty.
In the right-most lane, of course. I got a speeding ticket with a more capable car once—never again.
Mitsubishi mirage for life. Can park that shit in a bathroom cubicle.
Those consistently rank high on "worst car ever" lists.
More for me!
Sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult. Anyone who is capable of embracing a Mitsubishi Mirage is able to see what so many others cannot. Consider it high praise.
Ah-ha, my '71 beetle is no longer the worst. Yay!
I drove a 74 for a while, they're never the worst.
Sooo ... "Slow car fast" is a thing, and can be an awful lot of fun, especially going downhill ... if you have twisty roads and little other traffic.
A Yaris can also do good handbrake turns :-)
The yaris is the base car for their rally cars isn't it? So you could arguably beef tf out of it.
The rally cars bear very little resemblance to a base road model.
That being said, pretty much any base road car that's made to be sold in developing nations will be a lot of fun to thrash along unpaved roads >:-)
It's the best fun that can be had racing.
C1 racing cup is one of the most entertaining racing series out there.
Apt username!
It’s much more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.
Me, driving a fast car fast: 😎🌌🧠
Doubt
Fast as fuck boiii 🏎️ 😎
Excuse me, my yaris has 105 hp
Excuse me, my yaris has 192 kW

That's the 2024 model right? I got mine before it became available
69
Huheheheuhehe
At least the car is jdm
If you think your car doesn't have enough health, take it to the mechanic. Maybe he can put it back at full hit points.
Nice
There was a videogame that featured a Yaris. It was trying to be Sonic, I think.

Edit: I forgot that you had a gun mounted to the hood.
That was wild. It was free and it still only had one positive review.
I didn't say it was a good game.
A prehensile robotic gun called a "mechanosymbiont" emanating from the hood.
Rule 34 on Toyota Yaris? No I'm not gonna Google it.
Outrun?
