Do you love your Toyota Hybrid? You should

You now claim your October 2023 post was a compliment — but come on. You dismissed both the Yaris and Corolla Cross, called them “crap,” and redirected the OP toward MG EVs — and you posted it in a thread titled: “New Toyota Yaris Cross Question.”
 

Now you say you “never commented on the ride,” yet you clearly said you’d “doubt it would be comfy.” That’s not neutrality — that’s a direct dismissal.
 

This demonstrates your modus operandi: hijack a topic, denigrate HEVs with misinformation, then redirect to EVs — particularly MG — even when off-topic. This latest post followed the same pattern until it was called out.

Fact check:

• Yaris Cross = DNGA-B platform

• Corolla Cross = TNGA-C platform

• Most Bangkok taxis = older MC-platform Corolla Altis

• Both models are modern, well-specced, and priced appropriately — not “cheap because of platform”

You're entitled to your opinion — but don’t rewrite history. It wasn’t a compliment then, and it still isn’t.

 

Owning 2 Vios s, basically a Yaris, and the Yaris Cross simply a Yaris on steroids, then I think I can guess how the ride might by. as the Vios was a POS, for the price point.  Though again, did serve us well. 

 

Did have to replace the water pump, expensive strut, and wheel bearings, in less than 7 yrs / 125k kms owning.   So much for that reliability reputation, and I didn't beat it.

 

Yep, entitled to, and able to give my opinion.  They, the Corolla Cross, does 'look nice', but competition now, takes it out of any consideration ... IMHO, as the above post points out.   

 

Overpriced & underperforming, with crap warranty on battery.  If so good, then why not a lifetime battery ? ... hmm

I'd buy an MG BEV then, as they come with a lifetime battery warranty.

 

Also cheaper than the Toyota Cross.  Take a peek at the MG S5.

 

 

Toyota Corolla Cross has overall dimensions of 4460mm (length) x 1825mm (width) x 1620mm (height).

Top Cross model, quite overpriced & underperforming ... IMHO

 

Along with MG S5, much less cost to maintain & operate.  You could take that 300k baht saved from buying the premium model, you could get a solar system at the house.  Now we're talking, damn near free electric, for home & BEV. 

 

How much is your electric & petrol bill now a month.  Mine's less than 100 baht, and used to be upwards to 10k baht a month.

 

Work smarter, not harder

Just answering a reply, about someone's concern of battery warranty and replacement cost.

 

An intelligent person would buy one that has a lifetime warranty.  Just passing info, facts from manufacturers, not opinions, that some folks might not know about.

 

I believe that's the whole purpose of the forum.
