Hi from Ontario. Just got a blue Yaris CE stick 3 door plus air and intermittent wipers etc. GREAT quality inside and out. On my fourth tank and not a hiccup! (I'm not amazed since I owned two "real" MR2s back in 86-88, the 88 Supercharged). Very nimble and responsive. A little "buzzy" at 120 kph (75 mph) but a true sweetheart below that. Best mileage so far (75% Highway) was 44 mpg (Canadian gallons) whereas advertised highway consumption is 51 mpg. Not bad for under 1000 miles total use. My only complaint is fifth gear should be a little longer for highway use (everybody drives 120 kph in Ontario) as the engine speed drop from four to five is less than 500 rpm at 3000. I am going to try upsizing the tires from 175/65/14 to 185/70/14 when I put summer tires back on in the spring, giving me effectively about 5% higher gearing. Kinda neat being able to drive directly into parking street parking spaces!
