Recently I have been thinking of trading in my Pt cruiser for a 3 door Yaris.
I really cannot say why I feel the desire to do this. The only real reason I can come up with is that its small and i'm assuming pretty nimble. Gas mileage is always a plus, but I only put 12k miles a year on tops. The PT gets 20mpg and drinks premium. It looks cool and is damn fast, but it handles like garbage in stock form.

I guess i'm most worried that its going to be too slow. That wouldn't bother me so much if I knew it was a competent handler (which I don't know).

Im gonna head over to the dealer on Sunday to check them out up close without the sharks bothering me. I suppose most of my questions will be answered if I decide to test drive one.

I was hoping someone who went from something decently quick to the Yaris could make me feel better about the prospect of driving a 100hp car.

I actually had a 83 Omni a few years back that had a 1.7l 63HP engine. It was brutally slow, but the 4 spd manual helped it out a bunch. I planned on turning it into a GLH clone so I didn't really drive it much before I eventually sold it.
