Oddly enough, I've made some good friends from 8thcivic (my ex had an 8th) and YarisWorld; and I barely talk to my friends from high school and college.

I though Yaris was for people who don't give a shit about cars. They actually have enthusiast owners?

This is like finding out there are people enthusiastic about a Prius ownership. I went on a Prius forum and it was just a bunch of talk about how much smarter Prius owners are than the general population.

Im trying to get @Sypher to autox his GF prius C. There was a CRZ at Sac SCCA Rd 2 that wasnt far off the pace to compete with. Lol

I grew up in Michigan all the way through my undergrad before moving to the Bay Area and I figured so many of my friends would come visit me and keep talking to me.

Nope. In my four years living here only ONE has come to visit (twice at least) and I only talk to one other regularly. That's how you know who your friends really are I guess. It was eye opening and a great learning experience.

That happens to anyone, though. Not much people from HS/college that I talk to regularly. People grow and they change... especially with long distance...

Even though they are both hybrids those cars are NOT on the same level as far as sportiness. The CRZ has won nationals in stock class in the past.

yeah we know they aren't in the same league just because they are both hybrids. we were just really surprised that the CRZ did what it did. that and cracking some fun at hybrids in general

Damn. Won in stock class? I knew it was sporty but now I have to go look up what class its in. Lol

You would be surprised... there are quite a few people out there who mod their prius c. I was one of them. Same goes with about almost any car out there. The world is a lot smaller though compared to "tuner" cars like the frs/brz.

Installed the shark fin.

There are Yaris/Vios/Belta/Vitz out there pushing 300-400+ whp. There is that niche, and then there are the stanced niche. Also they have a Vitz and Vios one make race overseas.

As B2FiNiTY said, every car has its following, some will just have a larger following than others.

BlaineWasHere · 05-17-2014, 01:42 PM

I am just VERY anti Prius because it promotes sheep as car buyers.

The only small cars I really dig from that segment is the Fit and Fiesta.

BlaineWasHere · 05-18-2014, 01:16 AM

I know this is super objective but generally speaking which one of these cars is more reliable. GR STi or EVO X?
