Why didn't you invest 1000$ more to buy a Corolla instead - Toyota Yaris Forums

Bigger is not necessarily better. It depends on your personal taste and your needs. The Corolla weights 430lb more then Yaris, which is significant. Especially at the gas pumps or when you're flying around the turns.

Regarding engine, that 1.5L is extremely quick. It doesn't have the low end grunt and clutch take-up sucks. But if you can get past that, it's a very quick engine. The portly Corolla would be hard pressed to keep up with the Yaris, especially those Yaris's that aren't overloaded with the automatic transmission.

Also, at top speed, where weight is no longer the biggest factor, I'm able to easily take my Liftback to cut-out speeds (manual transmission), I doubt the new engine in the Corolla would do better.
