I think the stock Yaris has enough power - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Me and the gf bought our Yaris because she liked the customer service at the Toyota dealership closest to us, and her 07 Corolla never had any problems right up until it was completely totalled, we got back more than we owed. It's a good car. It's a car for her, so I only gave input when needed, she originally wanted a Speed 3, which for obvious reasons, I would've rather got, but I like the Yaris so far, it's not like it's a super fast car or anything, but it is what it was meant to be, an economy car. Just my $0.02.

I modified my Yaris to correct the handling, improve the safety, and to improve the mileage. A lot of my friends didn't think much of my dirt cheap ebay upgrades and some told me I'd have trouble with insulated headers. I rarely use that extra 1,500 RPM of torque curve but when I do its still a lot more fun. With all synthetic lubes it took 20,000 miles to get this thing fully broken in. I average 41 MPG combined all the time now and I can drive hard enough on mountain roads to make the wife clutch the barf bag. Not bad for less than $13K.
