Hi,

Wondering if anyone have driven the Yaris with severely overweight people in the driver or pax seat? Talking 350lbs. Does it affect the handling performance of the car severely if I have 350lbs in the front pax seat with myself (180lbs) in the driver seat? How badly will fuel economy suffer? Will it "tip sideways"? Just not sure how "small" the Yaris is...

Also, what are common insurance rates for a new Yaris? Comparing to a SUV or older large vehicles, does Yaris get a higher or lower premium?

Thanks.
