How about higher speeds? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm curious how the Yaris drives at higher speeds. I live about 20 miles from work and I rarely ever have to deal with any traffic on the expressway due to my odd hours, so my highway speeds are a little higher than most... usu around 75-80 mph. Does the Yaris have any passing power at 70-80 mph? I know the top speed is governed around 113, but that doesn't tell me much.

I'm coming from a 4-cyl p/u with a top speed of about 95mph and very little passing power. Also, how's fuel economy at 80mph? BTW, I'm changing the color I plan on ordering to either Meteorite Metallic or Bayou Blue.

Thanx for the help
Ben
