Does anyone own a Toyota Yaris?

[Suki Chan]

i've read all the reviews online about the yaris and the various models it comes in, sedan, hatchback, etc; i'm really tired of wading through the sarcastic reviews with sardonic remarks. i just want to know if its a good car. does it handle well on the interstate and highway. does it really feel cramped as a driver or passenger. i want to know the pro's and the con's. just want an honest opinion from someone who owns one.

i work at toyota. i drive all cars so i no how each is. the yaris is a good car if you pick hatchback or sedan. its a great city car. has AMAZING fuel economy. and belive it or not that engine makes soo much power for it size. i no it only 106 on paper but trust me drive one there soooo peppy its crazy. as for comfortablity. there comfortable you wouldnt be unconfortable lets say. on the highway there decent. there not the car i would chose to drive major trips on but i mean going 4 or 5 exit on the highway no problem even to pass its good. but you do have to fight with it in the wind sometimes because of its weight on the highway. ya as for space well the hatchback trunk is average if you ever seen it. its like enough for groceries thats it. the sedan trunk is fine. also if you live in winter climate, i dont find it that great in the snow. and you imagine it would be with 14's on it but the problem is the car isnt heavy enough to stick to the winter road. but for a city car i would highly recommend it and for fuel concomy. also the honda fit is very nice and the nissan vera too also nice.
