Thanks for the link to the other thread, CtrlAltDefeat.... Looking it over, it makes me think that a 19mm bar is probably the better choice. I don't do any autocross or anything like that, I just use the car as a DD/commute vehicle for the most part, and really my main issue is reducing wind-related wandering and body roll around corners, and making the car a little bit more fun to drive. I don't drive all that aggressively for the most part.

According to what Loren and others said, it sounds like the 23mm bar actually makes the car somewhat harder to turn in some ways and can actually be dangerous in the way it handles in extreme situations if you're not expecting it or used to it, because it can oversteer when you're not expecting it to. So, based on that thread it sounds like the 19mm should be more than adequate for my purposes. I don't have any other suspension mods or any aftermarket shocks or anything...

Does that line of reasoning make sense?

I also use my Yaris for a DD/commute car and I have a 23mm bar.
I really like it an I have experienced no bad effects from having it.
It makes commuting safer and more secure feeling a highway speeds.

Having said that, a 19mm bar is certianally much better than none at all and you are shure to like it.
