The official "my Yaris handles bad on the highway/with crosswinds" thread - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't believe people are complaining that the Yaris get's tossed a bit by the wind. Of course it does. Every small car does. Every SUV does. And in very heavy wind, all the rest do. My last car was a Lexus SC400. The thing was a beast - heavy, wide, and low and on a very windy day, I'd still have to hold that wheel really tight too.

The Yaris is a LIGHT car which is why it is efficient and affordable and why we bought this car. You want a big, heavy, inefficient car that's more stable, then spend $30K.

The only way to help the situation is to drop it, buy bigger/wider rims and tires and throw in some anti-sway bars.
