i take my stock corolla around on/off ramps at speeds that the yaris was rolling so badly i had to slow down. just too much roll. not saying the corolla is a great handler (it isnt). just better than the yaris, and thats a little sad.

id say the yaris has the worst clutch uptake of any small car ive ever driven. the shifter is rather clunky as well (not too mention that horrid rubber boot). we all know about the horrible seating position in relation to the steering wheel(easily would be fixed with telescoping wheel). my corolla shifting feel is like butter in comparison, much smoother and easy to find a comfortable position.

a cheap car doesnt have to look and feel so cheap...im holding out hope for the new yaris.

After a few mods, my Yaris out performs my corolla in every way! but one thing...

Ground Clearance!

now, ive read the new version is actually lighter than the previous version. if they get this over 40 mpg hwy, it will be a class leader. i could easily live with that. ill take one in black
