Our car isn't "underpowered". It gets to speed on the highway just fine and will do any legal speed limit no problem.
Why would you want more unless you take it to a track?

You are right. I was thinking the same thing today. I don't "get on the gas pedal" that much in my Yaris, but it has plenty of power to me. On the interstate near home, there are about three very steep hills. Many cars cannot continue to accelerate up the hill. One thing that has impressed me with the Yaris is that it can. I have had cars pass me at the bottom of the hills and I will overtake them because they cannot maintain their speed.

People that have rode with me have also commented on the car's performance.

Yeah, I don't think the Yaris is underpowered at all. For a practical gas saver, I think they got it just right.
