I know what you mean. It's this whole throttle by wire thing. In comparison to the 97 Golf, or really any other car I've driven before, it's just twitchy. Much harder to vary throttle position in a fluid way. It's like punching in numbers as opposed to point and click. Not very relaxing. In other cars, you can let go of the gas and coast, in the Yaris, the whole damn car stops ;)

@Kar98 & MUSKOKA800, do you guys have the 1.0L?

@DebbyM46227 out here the 1.0L HB and the subcompact sedan 1.0L both are about 990kg. Are you talking about the 1.5L?

I've driven far more powerful cars with drive by wire and the designers did the opposite and made them super slow to respond, I'm betting for fuel economy.
