Yeah one thing I couldnt BELIEVE about the Yaris (and my wifes Camry) is the impossible to get the car moving smoothly gas pedal. Gald to hear the Spark doesnt do that.

Anything you have to say about the Spark Id love to hear it.

Thanks. One thing I did notice that Toyota does way better...the carpet and the plastic trim in the hatch area of the Yaris was nicer, but most things appear to be very close in quality, so far. The Spark doesn't feel under-powered at all to me. That surprised me.

also, while in canada the pricing STARTS at 13495 (12995 in the US) once you get up into the 1LT package to get cruise and some other nice options, you jump to 16795 or so....so its up in the b-segment price range....and id rather have the additional space..

Good thing I don't live in Canada (well, not really. I love Canada...) because my OTD price for the 1LT was $14,454.00 ... a good $3K savings over the local Yaris that was similar in options. And the seat design didn't factor in for me because I doubt I'll ever lower the rear seats anyway. I might have lowered the rear seats in my Yaris, once, maybe.
