Actually I came to Yaris from a 1995 Eclipse AWD Turbo. It had 285,000 kl. on the clock when I drove it to it's new owner. Mechanically it was great. My only problem was the Eibach springs which broke (both fronts a week apart). I only left it because the strut towers rusted out and the price to repair was too great. Sold it to a mechanic who planned to mod it big-time.

Driving a 205 hp turbo into a dealership to test drive a 105 hp Yaris was quite a shocking experience. If my daily commute hadn't been so great I wouldn't have even considered the Yaris. But I'm happy now, since I've forgotten that turbo grunt. Even with the Blitz spooled up the Yaris can't compare. But it helps.
