New buyer questions...winter... - Toyota Yaris Forums

devilgirl, i'm up near scranton in the poconos. I had the same snow to drive through this morning. I'm enjoy snow, but when it turns to rain, like today, its just gross!
Anyway, I'm thinking I would do the snow tires/steel rims thing, because I can handle a FWD car in the snow pretty well. My parents have a matrix and a carolla, and I'm thinking snow performance will be similar? If so, thats fine with me.
I'm fine with getting used to new cars too. Obviously they're all different, but I'm pretty adaptable. I'm just worried about fitting in the thing at 6'2".

Is there anybody else out there who's tall and drives one of these comfortably? Feedback would be great. This is my last big hurdle before buying it.

p.s., is $13,800 reasonable? Its got the heavy duty starter and heater and whatever, cd player, cargo net and floor mats, 60/40 seats and 15" wheels. I think thats the convenience package? Not the power package.
Thanks!
