I am curious about this as well. Between all the members on this site, past and present, and the real-world Yaris owners that I know, none of us has been significantly hurt in a collision, let alone dying from it.

In fact, the only helicopter ride I can recall wasn't even a collision but came from a teenage member that fully admitted he was driving like an ass and rolled his LB a few times on a deserted stretch of road.

I dunno - my side is still stiff in the morning after my crunch a couple of weeks ago.
OTOH, I have been getting used to the new 09 seats for the last week, and that could be helping.....

If they want me in a mid-size or bigger car, then they better build me one that get's at least 40 mpg and costs under $16K. Yeah, that will happen!

Point is, there's a reason we want or have to buy small cars - cheap and efficient are two of the main reasons!

Easy to park, and easy/fun to drive are also right up there IMO.
