I always have a blast in mine... Blew a MT 1999 Cavalier (not sure what engine) away when I raced it. Mild mods make the 1.5L Yaris really fun to drive. Springs, underdrive pulley, rear sway bar, and a short shift kit has truly transformed mine. It already sticks to curves with these few mods, when I get new wheels, it will just fly through the curves. Being so light, the manual Yaris accelerates well beyond it's price bracket. On the highway I find myself using any excuse to downshift and blast through traffic. It's really peppy and I would race any lightly modded Cavalier and bet I would win.
