No. That's because all the Texas Pickup and SUV drivers have come to Colorado for the summer and thinned out the traffic in Texas. You just notice more Yarii now because all those ginormous trucks aren't around to block your view.

Reliability and then overall real world MPG and value (cost per mile) = most important to me. I also like a tight turning radius. I can't see how the Yaris loses under such criteria.

You get them too? Seriously, in the summer months there are probably more vehicles from Texas on our roads than there are locals.

I may have posted about this a couple of years ago, but this jogged a memory from my 'checking it out period' before I moved here. I was driving around Katy, TX in my Yaris (the Kelliwood and Seven Hills areas) and decided to get a snack. I pulled into the parking lot of a Kroger (IIRC) and pulled into a space. On both sides of me and in front of me were vehicles that could only be described as behemoths. IIRC, tthey were a Ford Expedition, The biggest Dodge SUV, and a Suburban. And all of them were jacked up way higher off the ground than stock. I had to laugh. I seriously put that down as a con re deciding which area to live in and did not settle in that area. In my area, well over half of the people were born outside of Texas, so that culture is not as strong -- lots of Minis, Prii, etc.
