Almost exactly the same as the Yaris. I think the Yar did better on highway but the 500 is better around town. The difference is minor.
SO much easier to park, too, since it is about 11" shorter.

Not one layer, no. But each layer can be made from one piece of carbon, no trouble, as long as it's a wet layup so it can be sleazed into shape. Pre-pregs don't have that ability, but are stronger.

Love the console. I had manual windows in the Yaris, so it is just as painful getting used to power ones as it is to get used to the buttons being on the dash.
The radio is never used. I have...

Yeah - but I've been lusting after the Fiat for years now. I guess if I can't have a new girlfriend, I'll just have the new car. It's amazing how much happier the wife is with that. :evil grin:

Nope - just the Sport. It was time to trade in the Yaris, and I really hate the looks of the new one, so the Fart was the next best thing.
