Just took the Yaris on Highway.. - Toyota Yaris Forums

First day I went on the highway freaked me out, I was on the phone how I always am after work and for the first time I said "I have to go, I need both my hands!" So maybe the yaris will make me a safer driver lol.

I don't know if it was an exceptionally windy day, or just the fact that it was 55+ mph, but I did feel like the wind or something was making me wobble- I had never experienced such a feeling since I've only driven a large nissan maxima until the yaris hatchback.

If I get that feeling again (basically I feel like I'm going to blown into the next lane/car) I will research sway bars. I have no idea how they work but if they seriously make a big difference with the swaying I will consider it. Surprised the dealer didn't mention/sell them.. seems like an important thing, unless people are used to and don't care about the car being wobbly on the highway...

*edit
Dumb question but I am wondering... does the car just *feel* like you're swaying/wobbly/going to get blown into the next lane or is it seriously light enough to be pushed a significant enough amount and is dangerous? Bascially.. does it just feel dangerous but its nothing to worry about, or is there a possibility if I'm not careful I'll bump into another car?? (3dr hatchback)
