After 2 years with my Yaris I have one complaint

I agree. These cars only have a 1.5l engine. If you think the Yaris is bad, my IS300 5-speed, with the 3l, 2JZGE inline 6, unbelievably revs even higher (about 3300rpm @ 70 in 5th gear) than my Yaris 5-speed. But that low (numerically higher) rear end gives it a lot more pep than 200hp really should. But mileage really takes a beating, the best I ever got out of it is 30MPG at a steady, cruise controlled, 70MPH...
