i would like those 60/40 rear seats though :(
(can i buy that?)

I'm with you, my goal was to be fairly simple. I find all this "performance" crap to be just that. After all it's a bottom of the line car. That's why I bought it. But then I've had 7 or 8 Toyota's with all the bells and whistles and am not impressed. I may add on the $165.00 window kit just because it's far less than the toyota option and easy to do....then again why bother! I'm glad all the kids are having fun and I continue to learn a lot from them about my BOTTOM OF THE LINE TOYOTA

I had the chance of getting a loaded LB (white) instead of my conv. Meteorite. I opted for the Conv because I didn't like the white AND economical reasons. I got a lil' dissapointed about the mirrors, but besides that, I'm really happy with the car and it's options.
It's a preference thing though.

i guess liftback side mirrors do have to be manually adjusted from the outside...

i guess convenience package for a hatch is fine... but on a sedan... i'd really wait for a power package one.. in fact i liked the jade sea metallic w/ power package that i saw in the dealer's lot... but it's auto tranny... i wanted manual tranny :D

and if you are to add security system on it... i think it's more logical to get the power.

Power package was the right choice (for me). The A/C, ABS, power locks, power windows, and Cruise Control are features I would not do without. (makes the commute and road trips much easier).

ok. cruise is the other thing i 'wish' it had. and only because im tall & while my body isnt cramped...my legs are. almost like they put the pedals 2" too close....like they designed it for japanese people or something :)

no biggie on short trips. on a 2hr trip, i almost get shin splints.. ha

The Power Package was a must for me. I love the 60/40 split seat. Power windows, locks, keyless entry were all necessary. I just wish when locking the Yaris it would chirp or something... Like my 2004 Tacoma did. It's just crazy that Toyota doesn't have cruise as an option, and putting the Rostra Cruise kit on was no picnic!

A/C is standard on every model - if i had to get the power package to get it i would've, but its included (something Honda hasn't learnt yet). cruise would be nice, but we drove to from minneapolis to toronto and back, and both my wife's and my feet haven't fallen off yet so i think we'll be ok! the dealer can add cruise for like $600 if we want, and power locks were just over $400 - maybe we'll get them sometime. i can still crank a window now and then, even with a bad back. we'll live!
