"With gas prices going up this put in the market for a car that was not going to gulp down gas. Also the plus side was to have a vehicle that was easy to park and meet my needs. There are many opitions that come with the Yaris and I decided to go with the full package The Yaris S hatch back. The Yaris is came with a MP3 jack and the CD player can also play MP3 formated CD's. Over all handlign is good and the S model has comfy seats. There is also plenty of storage in the small compact model and has plenty of seating room compared to the Mini. Besides all the great things mentioned it really does come down to the MPG (36). Fun car and great deal!"

"Hmmm you do not give a reason for your nightmare with your Vespa?? I am sure you did not lose out when you sold it as the resale value is great compared to a vino. Iam glad I was rid of mine the dealer would not want to work on mine as they prefer to work on big bikes. jon"

"The Vino is better then a Vespa?? I think not maybe you should start wearing a helmet when you ride. To many bumps on the head LOL Jon"

"I have read your concerns on your Vespa and I think you are holding the throttle open at 1/4 of a turn. If you do this the speed will only increase and when you reach the 30 mph mark or over you back off right? So it seem it would be creeping forward when in fact you are dong it. I can do the same thing on my Vespa GTS, but that is not my riding style. I recommend you take a riding course at MSF and learn to ride. Good luck. Jon Moore"

"The gas tank has an evap system that is in place pre the EPA. Overfilling the tank not only puts the fuel into the evap system due to over filling, but will also cause fuel to spill. The solution?? Do not over fill the gas tank."

"This is the best scooter I have owned! It has aways worked for me and my friends when we go out riding during the week to work or on the weekends on the westside of LA. Maybe you do not know how to ride or you are not taking care of the vehicles services needed? I am buying the 300 when it comes out! Best thing I ever did was buy a Vespa."
