the good, the bad and the ugly

[punch]

I dislike;
cupholders (sedan)
handling
under powered ( I went from 250hp to 106hp)
everyone thinks it's an econobox (cheap, welfare car etc...)

I like:
trunk room
gas consumption (last car used premium)
underpowered (keeps me out of tickets)
the fact nobody even pays any attention to it (stealthy)
cheaper on insurance
resale value

I know we came from the exact same car but its funny how different the sedan and hatch are.

I love the cupholders in the hatchback the ones that pop out of the dash easily hold even the largest Slurpee.
I totally agree about lack of power, but I think its geared well.
My PT GT handled like garbage and I would say the Yaris is far better.
The Yaris is a bit cheaper on insurance.
I feel my Polar White hatch stands out since there are so few on the road.
trunk room in the hatchback is minimal.
no premium fuel is a HUGE benefit.
Potential for 40+ MPG is really nice too.

I like the looks and the MP3 radio.
Seats don't go back far enough
No tach and the center mounted speedo is odd.
$12,560 sticker price is hard to argue with.
