Before Buying Yaris - Some Newbie questions

[Gingi]

Hi there guys - great site !

I'm considering buying the Yaris after I test drove it yesterday - however, here are my questions for you pros:

1) Don't you guys think that since it's Yaris's first edition, it's too risky to buy it (yea, I know Toyota is a brand name blabla but look at the Echo)?

2) Aren't you guys afraid that (knock on wood) if you'll be involved in an accident this tiny car will not provide enough protection against the rest of the cars on the road, which are most likely bigger?

3) The only thing that I really felt uncomfortable with was the digital gas tank!! Don't you find it a bad feature?


Thanks !!!
