Happy with Yaris?

After a couple of months, you should be used to the shortcomings of the Yaris, no? I don't know, the car is growing on me.

Just surpised a 2008 hatch could be/feel so different from a 2009 sedan; what's up with that? But yes, I confess, I didn't test-drive the ACTUAL car I ended up with... : (

I don't hate it as much as I used to, it's true... After one weekend overnight trip (six hours on the road tota), I actually got a little warm-and-fuzzy twinge for it... But it passed when I tried to put my sunshield back in the car and fit it under the front passenger seat like I did in the Swift; nope, it wasn't going in there... Not without a lot of maneuvering... I was peeved...

First warm, sunny day, I'm going out in the driveway with my owners manual and really getting to know my car; will secure that rear seatbelt and get rid of that stupid hatch shelf that just gets in the way and outfit it with the paperboxes and canvas grocery bags I've read about on this forum and lay the backseat down for my kayak and bike and try to learn to love the Yaris.

Wish me luck...
