Small engine + GREAT mileage = Slow off the line.
Fact of life. If you want acceleration, you'll pretty much have to go for something more expensive to run. The way most people drive, though, you'll still beat them off the lights, simply because they don't realise you're racing

get a STANDARD - that will solve your acceleration issues.

small engine = small car =/= automatic.

offering an automatic for such small cars is just..........dumb.

and if you just have to have it, then expect your power reserve to be alot less!

Er.. not quite. Coming from the Honda CRX, I can tell you that the acceleration in the Yaris is not the greatest.

You get used to it pretty quickly, but it's sometimes a bit of a pain (like when you want to merge on the highway)

I think the SMART is even worse than the Yaris in that regard, though.

Best way to get over the merge problem is to use the Yaris' ability to corner to its fullest - banch the ramp and match intrinsics BEFORE you get to highway itself.
