marcus,

If you find a way that I can get a 1.3L (or, better yet, the 1.0L), here in the U.S. please tell me how. All we can buy here today, and what I have, is the 1.5L.

why would you get 1.3.. 1.5 is better...although 1.3 gives you slightly better mileage but slower though theyre like 86 hp... sorry we dont get 1.3 here in canada..? if i find something ill let you and everyone know aight!!..

We all have much more horsepower than we need. With the Yaris' weight we could easily get by on less than 33 peak hp.

You don't have to get there fast. You just have to get there.

Hence I would rather have the 1.0L than the 1.3 or 1.5. It would be even better if they offered a 1 cylinder at 300cc or so, especially if it were part of a hybrid drive train.

I generally get anywhere from 29-32mpg, 100% city driving. I'm taking the yaris for a 14 hour drive to north-east Quebec in the winter, I'm interested to see how many mpg I get. I'm really surprised how many mpg people are getting here. Also some good tips on saving gas, but 2000rpm while accelerating? I always tend to get real annoyed when someone in front of me takes a few minutes to get to the speed limit. I have the mentality that a car is meant to use gas and can't get around it, but I guess it's always fun to save at the pump too. When I used to own my 94 Probe GT I went through gas like crazy...had to be premium, too, or else the engine starts to bog down and eventually start to detonate. I think with my probe I averaged 14-18 mpg, that was for the 2.5L V6 with the 5speed. But then, I'd accelerate in first gear to 6-7000 rpm at most lights just because I could. 6000 would usually get to the speed limit, so thats usually where I stopped.

I agree , if they came, people would buy. When I had my Honda 600 coupe (600cc w/36 hp), I had all the power I needed.....75 mph if needed, with 35 year old technology. 1.0 liter would fit many peoples needs.

I agree Bailout

I had a 1983 Reneau Alliance Remember they partnered with AMC. Anyway it had a 60 HP 4 cyl and we managed just fine with it. You just have to be carefull merging on the highway but it worked.
