I do have to agree with the article on it not being recommended due to performance. TheYaris is very weak when accelerating and climbing hills due to its 106 HP engine.

I agree. People wants to judge the Yaris on what it is not, instead of what it is. All things considered I believe that the Yaris is one of the best values for a new car.

The yaris does pretty good for a small car with a 106 hp engine,
I Think my self it is pretty impressive for what it is,
'' the Yaris is very weak '' you must have down graded from a hot rod or
Porsche to say that.
I recall consumer Reports reason for not recommending it was mostly
do to crash test performance.

I find the 106HP engine peppy and it provides all the power I needed 95% of the time. The 5% (that didn't work) came when I needed speed right now.
