I like the dual climate control. Mine only comes with single CC. Does your XR have the "secret hidden floor" in the boot?

Yes, it does.
It's not a secret anymore now that you've told everyone on the forum about it though

I think the stripped Yaris with wind-up windows, MP3 and CD player, 9 airbags, etc. is a fantastic value at $15-16k. Much above that for the stripper hatch, and it starts getting less of a "value". $17k is Nissan Altima money (after a bit of haggling with the dealer). Unfortunately, the American mindset is "bigger is always better"...Sigh.

I have no-doubt it was worth the money. Problem is, at least in the USA (where I live), it is very difficult to make a business case to Joe Sixpack who can get a Chevy Silverado (pickup truck) for just a bit more scratch (with cash on the hood: that is, manufacturer rebates).

I love the European idea of small, well-built, yet still well-equipped small cars. You can get a glass roof on the Yaris in the EU! I would love a glass roof!

What secret storage area in the boot? It's raining outside right now, so I can't check it.
