So the conclusion is, it's not as good as the Fiesta, but wins the award?? You really can't listen to motoring journalists these days...that just makes no sense  Does look nice the new Yaris, but these superminis have just got so ££expensive now, £21k, wow!! |

True but it won because it was considered to be better than the other 6 that were eligible. Also, because it's a European award, not all the judges will be as enamoured with the little Ford as Mr English is.  |

I’m sure the Yaris is a very good car but it’s just so dull. With the exception of the GR which is not really an everyday family car.....
I’ve said for a long time Toyota don’t have a decent quick and head turning car and they still don’t. The Supra is nothing more than a BMW . Not saying it’s not a cool or fast car mind cos it is. But I for one don’t want a BMW no matter how it’s badged. 👍

Toyota should sack off that GT86 thing (it hasn't worked) and bring back a new MR2 with the GR Yaris engine and RWD. Priced at MX5 money.
The recipe is simple and successful, Mazda have well and truly proven that over the decades. Still can't believe no other manufacturer has tried to compete??!!
The Supra does look good in the flesh though.

The Supra does look good in the flesh though. I had an MR2 roadster way back. It was nearly new and was on an X plate. Silver with Red leather. It was bog standard apart from a set of OZ Superleggeras in 17 inch shod with Toyo Proxis tyres. That wee car was epic fun and punched well above its weight. Proper screamer engine and great handling. Kept it for 4 years or so. IMHO it was better and more fun than an MX5 or at least the generation of MX5 back then which would have been a second generation. Toyota passenger cars are as dull as it’s possible to get. That includes the RAV4. Competant and brilliant it is but hell is it boring. 👍👍 |
