I replaced the stock battery a couple weeks after I bought the car for the very reason that it drains too quickly.

lol?

My almost 3 year old battery still fires every time first try. Never had to jump it, charge it, or anything.

Just leave your car on. It costs about 75 cents an hour. (and the hypermilers will love you)

Yup. I've never had a battery as weak as the one they use in the Yaris. I'm sure it suits its purpose as long as that purpose never involves running electrics without the engine running.
