that is true. And now they seem to be throwing in two years of maintenance as well to sweeten the deal.

You've never experienced the rear of the car getting loose? A rear spoiler is not necessarily about downforce. It can also be used to negate rear lift.

Saab was a company that invested a ton of money into making sure their front wheel drive cars never had rear lift. Because believe me, those rear wheels desperately wanted to be in front. My worst story was spinning out near a highway exchange in front of a cop. I did a complete 360 at the normal posted speed limit of the back road, which was about 40.

I'd imagine at over 100 the rear of the Yaris wants to dance around as well. Not something I would want to experience.
