How do you like your Toyota Yaris?

I am looking for a new car, I was looking into the Toyota Yaris. I just really want the opinion of what the drive is like on a highway from someone who now owns, or has owned one in the past. Any other major pros and cons you would like to add would be great!

well in highway it will be a little noisy as any car with small engine it cruises with the rpm around 3000 but its fun and quick, the spedometer is in the middle it will take u a couple of days to get used to it. i don't own one but a rent alot and i always ask for it. personaly i like the design and in my opinion it has the best cup holder ever in right place.

well i don't own one, but from driving my sisters yaris for over a year now i can say that its a good car but the highway can be a problem you hear a lot of road noise and its not very quick and the safety rateing isnt too good cause of its size. good gas mileage, i would say its more of a city commuter then a highway car. i would suggest getting a toyota matrix because its bigger, safer and gets about the same gas mileage. but up to you.

I love mine. I average 43 mpg, and have hit 52-53 mpg before. It's a fun car to drive. Very nimble. However, in its stock ride height, it catches the cross winds on the freeway (tall ground clearance plus light weight). I lowered mine and don't feel it as much. You can search throughout www.yarisworld.com/forums for all of my threads, and other peoples' experiences. My name is "Kaotic Lazagna" there on YarisWorld.

Oh, and I have a 2007 sedan S. Since then, more things have come standard on them. The 2010 comes with three additional features stock, TPMS, VSC, and one other feature that I can't remember off the top of my head.
