Eventually I would like to find something sportier and more solid that is as well thought out, environmentally sound and reliable but there isn't anything. The Prius 3 is so ugly and lacks the clever storage features plus the rear seat head rests block the rear window like the new Yaris. The center speedometer dash Yaris hatchback is a rare car that comes around very rarely that has so many useful well thought out features all rolled into one car that no one else can duplicate regardless of performance or price and that's sad.

I drove the ST. Its a bargain. I want my next car to have a console among other things. I'm debating between the overpriced Mazda3 S Gt hb. with manual. ..the awesome FiestaST...and Maybe the Yaris. Honestly. ..the FiestaST is just such a bargain compared to the Yaris SE. Assuming it holds up.
the FiST seemed no more cramped in the front than my 09 Yaris. It did have the Recaro option (see pic).

I sat in the new fit...i can't get over the exterior.
