You can remove the rear seat, which will improve MPGs if driven conservatively. The 3 door Yaris is better for that kind of mod (for obvious reasons).

Some things that drive me nuts about the car are the 1 speed intermitent wipers, the blind spot out the rear pillars

The wiper issue can be fixed by swapping the stalk (check the DIY section). The blind spot issue is not that bad IMHO, especially when compared to other cars, but there are various ways to get around that...

, and the discontinuance of the DRLs.

You mean that you car didn't come with DRLs? That's actually pretty common outside the US, although I think you are required to have them by law. I don't really see the point in having them, but I guess you could get a used DRL module for cheap from someone who switched to HIDs.

They discontinued them on 2010 models. My '09 had them and my '10 does not. I removed the trim and looked for the "plug" for the module but it is nowhere to be found. Toyota literally did away with everything DRL related.

I sort of like DRL's myself, but did find them irritating at night when you're trying to be stealth while leaving the house.
