That is a very sweet car ... and a great find.

My Yaris is my baby .. and I am sure that you will feel the same about your new car.

Interesting that you say that, because I love the car already. My girlfriend has a 2008 Auris but I wouldn't swap my Yaris for it. My girlfriend even admitted that she prefers my Yaris!

Considering it's only got a 1 litre engine, it certainly can move. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase.

is that sought after in the states? I would have thought you'd be happier with the bigger engine.

213,000+ miles on mine and still running strong. Only one issue ever: the electronic 'brain' went 500 miles shy of the warranty....been fine since. Only maintenance and it's about to get the TRD treatment: Full TRD suspension, clutch, and quick shifter....I'm gonna have fun 'til this thing dies.

Not really. Only people who drive to get as high a MPG as possible would want to try one out and we are distinctly in a minority.

I used to have a diesel back in the day when diesel fuel was 20% less than petrol. Those days are long gone. Now diesel is nearly 40% more than gas. ($2.90 VS $2.09) It thus makes no sense whatever to own a diesel car nowadays, economic sense I mean. You have to shoot for as small a gas engine as possible and those are rare in the States.

Is that $2.09 for a gallon? if so, that's really cheap because a gallon of unleaded is $5.26 in Ireland!

how does 35 cents a gallon sound? My neighbor was stationed in Iraq a few years back and he said that is what gas was selling for.

That's in sane! Only thing is I'd probably be happy enough to pay an extra 5 dollars not to get blown up!

. Interestingly enough, the only time I've ever been exposed to that (could hear and see a few explosions from the road in a valley we were driving through) was driving from Belfast to Dublin toward the tail end of skirmishes re The Troubles. Also had to go through some sort of makeshift checkpoint on that drive.
