What I don't like about my new Yaris

Does anyone else feel too "high in the saddle" in this car?

I don't.

I'm 6'1" and I actually find the driving position fairly comfortable for a small car like this.

That being said, the seats are not great, and after 3 or 4 hours of continuous driving, they start to feel uncomfortable.

However the actual driving POSITION is totally fine with me.

Agreed, I'm 6'2" and a fiver under 200lbs and the Yaris feels quite comfortable to me!

Yeah, the seats are a bit basic; but most European subcompacts come like that as well so I am used to it. I really am not more comfortable driving our Honda Odyssey for the same amount of time.

And as a former VW owner, I do miss the ability to roll down all the windows using the remote. But a note to any Odyssey owners out there, it does the same thing!

However, I got my Yaris sans any power package, so the windows and locks are manual. That's no biggie, as the car is small enough to make it a non-issue, much like my Jeep!
