yaris owners, I need your input

[petesimac]

I have had no issues at all with semi-trucks or any lack of control on the hwy, this after a long trip to FL this past summer. However, I go the speed limit. If you're blazing along at 80 mph, you might not have as much control as you would at 65 should any cross-wind or air turbulance hit you.

Well I visited another dealer today and got some more
priced and really didnt negotiate at all.

12,300 for the base model manual trans. with convenience
and all weather package. 12895 for base model manual trans.
with power package. there is a $150 "processing fee' at this
dealer, plus tax title and liscense.

I figure 13,330 out the door for the manual and 13964 out the
door for the power package.

Comments anyone???

cross-wind hasn't bothered me much either. the only thing i would worry about is hydroplaning during a heavy storm or something. since the car is so light and sits really high for how short it is from nose to butt it tends to hydro' a little easier than some of the larger vehicles i've owned and driven. but, just stay cautious and drive responsibly and you should've nave any problems.

If I'm not too late posting this, really consider the all-weather package too, it gives you stronger starter, heater and a larger capacity washer resevoir. I heard somewhere it's standard on all cars sold above the Mason dixon line, but that was just watercooler talk...
