Looks goofy with the lowered stance and stock hubcaps. Especially if you started at the back, saw the low bumper, nice exhaust and taillights, and... wait a minute...

I definitely like the exterior of the '08 and '07 hatchbacks over the refresh they did in '09. The changes are subtle, but I don't think for the better. I like the post-refresh interior changes, though.

Would that count as a neck breaker if they turned their head to do a double take because of the hub caps? LOL

It's the daily driver. lol. I'll eventually get wheels, just waiting for a sale or some deal. I'll run down these tires first, and get wheels and tires at the same time. I'm thinking 15x8 949Racing 6UL in tungsten would look nice. I'd like the set up to be near or even lighter than the OEM steelies and tires.

I prefer the zenki years too. I like the interior of the new Yaris, but their seats, imo, are terrible. Can't sit in one for more than 5 minutes.

You have to opt for the SE trim for the good seats (among other things). Very comfortable!

Oddly enough, it is the SE that I don't like. The lumbar support protrudes too much for my back. =\
