We've drove small cars since the 80s' . Chevette , Colts ( Champs ) , Corolla , and many others . Crash tests help our decision . But only 40% . All it takes is one careless driver to make your day . Been running into those alot as of lately . Literally for the '08 sedan .

Interesting that you had a Colt/Champ. I had one that I bought new. I think it was the most inexpensive car I've ever purchased new. I got 90 some odd thousand miles out of it before the engine management device (what the ECM would be in the Yaris I imagine) went out and the clutch was a few hundred miles from giving out. The engine management part, the physical part, was about 700.00. I figured with that, labor to install it, and parts and labor re the clutch, fixing it would be a poor investment so I decided to junk it. The Blue Book value was close to zero anyway. I didn't put any money into repairs, but a '90 some odd k' lifespan before hitting repairs that wouldn't make sense was less than I expected. It also was kind of mediocre re MPG.
