true.. I'm always amazed how bad the side profile aerodynamics are. I probably would have sold the yaris if it weren't for the sway bar by now, and I still can't wait to drop it on a windy day.

Exactly. IMO a sway bar (at least 19mm) should be standard on all Yarii, not really for performance but for safety. It just seems too easy to tail-out just at the flick of the steering wheel.

Case in point: Some slow jack-off in an SUV pulled right in front of me from a driveway this morning. I locked-up and avoided the crash at the expense of the rear-end trying to swing around. If I didn't countersteer I would've definitely gotten sideways and jumped the curb. Yeah I think I'll be getting that sway bar on my next payday. The springs are another must-have, but they can wait a while.
