Don't take this as a complaint, but most of the posts on the forum are heavily USA centred. Yarii in other countries often have different specifications to the USA, as wellvas different regulations governing what can and can't be done to our cars.

A couple of examples for Australia:-

Base model Yaris has the 2NZ-FE engine.
Tyre sizes are different - 175/70/14 or 175/65/15. If different wheels or tyres are fitted, the track width must not increase by more than 25 millimetres.
Non factory HID headlamp conversions are illegal.
Any engine modificatIons where the power output has been increased by more than 20% from stock require the vehicle to be retested for emission compliance.
Toyota advertises the Yaris (and most of their other models) as having a suspension setup specifically engineered for Australian conditions and driver demands.

I originally bought my Yaris as a second car, but find it mmuch more enjoyable to drive than our other car - a Toyota Aurion. Every time I drive the Aurion, I can't get past how heavy the steering feels and how much heavier the brakes feel in comparison to the Yaris.

Pet peeves? How about the idiots who feel they have to out accellerate all the other cars at the light, then weave their way through the traffic to get to the next set of traffic lights faster? These are usually the same ones who complain about getting speeding tickets and how thier fule consumption doesn't match the manufacturer's claims..
