OK, I have had this car for sometime now. Racked up 16.5k miles on it. It has averaged exactly 37mpg over the last 4k+ miles I have driven it. Today I added cruise. OMG!! It was SOOO simple!!! Took 20 minutes and cost $120. While it doesn't have the character of the smart, it is still distinctive.

Got a chance to clean it up today and decided the heck with work, I wasn't going to go. Showed up, but told no one I was here then left once I understood no one missed me.

~ I went to a party @ a friends place, couldn't find a " normal " parking space so I decided to make my own space by backing in between 2 parallel parked cars .. . When I came out, one of the parallel parked cars had left and a Yaris had backed in and parked just like I did!

So yeah, Yaris's DO play nice with Smarts
Good luck with the new purchase

Nice car, that was my second choice. Probably will do better on resale and overall reliability.

Too bad you can't just replace the panels

I think the Yaris is a fine choice. Not everybody can get around with just two seats.

I'm pretty sure the Yaris isn't a drive-by-wire car but did anyone hear the comments made by Steve Wozniak about his 2010 Prius and unintended acceleration problems? He says it's probably a software problem related to cruise control. Toyota now wants to borrow his car for a week.

Well I have had the Yaris in my possession for some time now. Detailed it again today for the first time in a good 9 months . Waxed the exterior but I still need to shampoo the interior and do a general cleaning in there and mount my Scangauge in the driver's side glovebox door.

Driven it almost 15k miles now though the car is getting close to 28k total.

Not a lick of trouble and I finally rotated the tires today, a little late but at least I finally did it. It's still a good car and a good alternative to the smart when I need to haul something bigger or more than 2 people.

I wish I could figure out a way to get the red clay stains off the undercarriage. I have the same problem on my smart. Soaking it in Purple Stuff and scrubbing doesn't phase it.

Man if you were selling yours, mine would have to go....;)

Ps I had 2 pris, and they are not worth the trouble.
