2 400 pounders
3 150 pounders

The rated maximum is only about 850lbs. If you are lowered (or even possibly if you are not), I would expect some serious rubbing with the big two in the back seat.

I'm a big guy too, but can you physically fit all 5 people and 100 lbs of stuff in a yaris? Watch the tires on any big bumps! I would think that much weight would exceed the tires' max load.

Why ruin your car for a bunch of free-loaders.
Rent a mini-van. Split 5 ways it would cost next to nothing. And be comfy and safe too!

You aren't fitting 5 people in a yaris when 2 off them are 400lbs.
And if you do, that's going to be the most uncomfortable drive of all time.

I'd definitely have a few loud chuckles if one or two of them got really farty.

What @djct_watt said is 100% right.
Watch the tires on any big bumps!

Even if your Yaris is the 2015 model , i don't advice you to let her take all the 5 people + the baggage. let's be honest and logic, the Yaris can load only the driver and 2 other people + the baggage if you wants a nice and calm trip without problems.

Hope they have a nice trip.
