Anyways.....

Likes:
- The speedo and tach is digital and in the middle ~ I love that ~
- My body kit and fog lights ~
- TRD sticker I stuck on it right after I bought the car ~ It brings out the personality in her ^_^ ~
- The storage compartments......driver's glove box ~ 8!!!! cupholders and 2 passenger glove box ~
- The impressive interior space.....people get so amazed at that ~
- It's so stable on the road for such a small car ~ I've been in a few small cars and driven some and they scare me how they feel like they are floating at certain speeds.....but not the Yaris ~
- FUEL ECONOMY!!!
- VVT-i Engine ~ Toyota's smartness ~
- The seats
- ALLOY WHEELS ~

......and the fact it's changed my driving habits on the road.....use to own a Honda Civic 94.....I drove 120km/hr on a 60kn/hr road -_-" and surprisingly.....I have never been caught ~ Now.....I drive the speed limit and am so much safer ~

Dislikes:
- Cheap Plastic interior......I have the top model for Australia (YRX) and I don't like the plastic interior.....how hard was it to give me leather!!! Grrr.....
- Boot space can be a bit small ~
- The "Audible" lights.....my room-mate owns a Camry Sportivo.....her lights automatically turn off when she opens the door.....why couldn't they do that for the Yaris?!?
- No tinting.....Toyota was offering a great amount of money for tinting so I said "No Thanks" and will get it tinted myself ~

Absolutely love my Yaris ~

Us Canadians are paying about $1000 more for a similarly equipped Yaris (plus the 15% Canadian sales tax ).

Specifications are very similar, except the Aussies get telescopic steering wheel and Canadian get analog tachometer instead of digital (personally, I'm quite happy with the analog tach).
