Sheraz2000 check out the "forced induction" section of the forum for ways to get the 1.5 to really move.

i currently own a 8th gen civic 1.8L Prosmatic Oriel 1.8L, and a 6th gen Civic 1.6L M/T Oriel. Both with VTECs. so having a 1.5 L in my yaris wont be a BOMB jambo, but it sure will give it a kick start. Also a 1.5 has better options for mods and tunning rather than my lil 1.0L.

I have no idea what a Prosmatic Oriel 1.8L or a 1.6L M/T Oriel is but i assume they are the hot ticket over there so i would focus on those cars and leave the 1 liter car for economical commuting or just let the wife have it.
I didnt mean to refer to your car as an actual bomb,
Urban dictionary says http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=da+bomb
