However, if there is any (and I mean any) moisture on the ground, back end comes around and I'm countersteering and steadying the throttle.

yep, once they squeal your rear end is on its way out lol... i'd rather have a little squeal to let me know exactly when to back off.

RWD and an extra 100HP over stock.
it's wont have much torque but the powerband will be awesome.

torque is what moves the car, horsepower is just a byproduct of torque and rpm

I love the guy who said drifting requires all 4 wheels to be sliding.

If there is a will, there is a way.

If you roll the yaris, you either hit a curb, tried drifting at 100 mph, or you have wider tires than actually will fit on the back. The yaris is designed to slide out, not flip. Thousands of sixteen year old kids hand brake turn their cheap FWD economy cars every day, and only the ones dumb enough to hit the curb flip. I suppose you might be able to flip if you drift on reverse banked turn too, but then you fall into the dumb category again. But if you have a wide open parking lot, and you aren't gonna hit anything, spin that bad boy like there's no tomorrow. Learn what your car will do when you turn the wheel all the way at 50 mph.

To everyone else. Drifting, as defined by doing fancy spins and making lots of smoke, is done best in a RWD car, yes. Drifting, as defined by breaking your tires loose, keeping your drive wheels spinning, and attaining a hire exit speed than you could by keeping all tires on the ground, is possible in FWD, RWD, and AWD.

I'm trying to be gentle on the yaris(sort of) but I've done 360s, reverse 180s, "ass dragging"(call it what you want, I'll still come out of the turn faster than you), and all sorts of fun stuff in an assortment of FWD cars.

Hey jerk, I'm not 16.

I also laugh at the person who says drifting is easy to flip. Drift cars are designed to slide. NOT FLIP. Flipping is because of another force acting opposite of the drifting.

I know this is an old thread but it is possible to drift a yaris....
Jump hard on the gas on a corner and lift at the apex
weight transfer is what causes the rear to swing out
NOT for public roads people !

All you need is a little snow.
