For a 9 year old car, still runs perfectly and never had any serious problems with it up to now, only done basic preventative maintenance and upkeep. I've had such a great experience with it that I'd be reluctant to sell it for anything, planning on keeping it as a reliable daily driver... I'll take my old, basic Yaris, without stability, traction control and ABS...

The lack of coziness and other options is more about the fact you're driving a base model. I'm on my 2nd RS now, and love the extra goodies. What's really best about these cars, and what they all have in common, is the great, fun driving experience and bullet-proof reliability.
