Exactly what I wanted
I wanted a simple, reliable, comfortable, economical auto. The Yaris is perfect for the job. Great looks, Toyota dependability, excellent fuel economy and I think it handles well. I'm not comparing it to models with lots of options so my rating reflect this. I didn't want abs or electronic stability control (ESC). That doesn't take the place of a good driver.
The one you are looking for
I purchased this car 2 days ago. I love it. It's a great economical solution to a new car. The engine is capable compared to the competition. The cabin is small but adequate for its size.

Great Little Car!
I bought this car for the gas mileage and it does the job. Three fills so far and the mileage has been 39.1/40.1/41.7. It is also handles extremely well and is extremely enjoyable to drive.
Undecided
I bought my 08 Yaris sedan in May after trading in my 01 Mustang. Going from a Mustang to a Yaris was a little scary. But the savings in insurance and gas balanced out the decision. Right now I'm undecided on the Yaris. I love that it's fun to drive and packs a good punch for a car with a 1.5L engine. However, in the month and a half I've had it, it's now been in the shop twice. When the car was 3 weeks old the keyless entry stopped working. Now, after the car shuttered violently, a bearing broke in the AC compressor, causing the AWFUL noise. I got it home, limping. The car was towed yesterday (how embarrassing for my brand new car!) and I'm now waiting for it get done at the shop.. again.
Great Car and Great Mileage
I bought the Yaris on the strength of its reliability and gas mileage. I am pleased with the quality and for the price it is a solid car. It rides better than the larger Plymouth Sundance that was my prior car. My first 2 gas stops were 42 MPG and 38.5 MPG. I think that the mileage will improve as the engine breaks in. I bought the Sea Mist Green Metallic and the color is beautiful. I will continue to buy Toyota.
