Yep, thats why I bought one......
It's not Slow or simple. Power to weight ratio is good(not fast but not slow).

The ECU is very advanced(anything but simple), but the car on a whole does appear simple.

Well the ECU is one thing. However, compared to a lot of new cars on the market, the Yaris is quite simple.

No funky torque-vectoring stuff; no ABS-controlled LSD-like devices; no magnetic suspensions jazz; there aren't 100 buttons on the dashboard; no adaptive cruise control or blind spot detection.

Compared tom some vehicles, the Yaris is simple, and that's one reason I love it.
