One thing i noticed when I test drove the sedan was that it has a lot of blind spots. When I test drove the liftback i felt like I was on an suv. I feel like i need a booster sit or something. I am 5'4 by the way.

Do you think the winshield is smaller on the sedan or the same as the liftback?

You kidding right. For some weird reason I like the lift back better, i feel i can see everything. I feel like a midget in the sedan.

I have a Silver NON S Sedan, I don't like body kits they start looking bad after a couple years, I'm about to put some 16 inch rims on mine soon. The 2dr HB looks like an Egg, the Sedan looks like a baby Camry, it's much smoother with Tint and some rims. But I do like the 4dr hatchback in other markets, the 2dr hatch looks like a coffin on wheels. I also don't understand the point of a M/T in the yaris, it's not a sports car and with the auto you're only loosing 1 mpg, but to each his own.

I love my ABS and my Liftback, but I wish I had side curtain airbags!

I'm not a sedan person. I like the versitility of a liftback. I feel like the sedan cheats the owners out of space. Try fitting a dishwasher in a sedan.

Sedans remind me of the Taurus, Impala, G6, Camry... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

i like the sedans more conservative appearance. it makes it that much more fun to see the look on peoples faces when i kick their @$$ off the line.

Exactly. Giving up a car for no ABS is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life, no offence to the OP. ABS is for people who can't drive and like to just slam on their brakes.

When I got my first car with ABS, my dad said that he felt it saved him from an accident one time. When he stopped less then an inch short of someone else's bumper. ABS is ok, but a lot of the newer "safety features" are really "you can't drive so I'm gonna do it for you features". I mean some cars slam on their brakes for you now. Here's an idea, pay some attention and learn to drive properly.

I've got an S with the spoiler, power package, ABS, and 5 speed, and I love the way it looks, 38 - 42 mpg in my normal driving, plenty of room for my large 6' frame, and pretty good handling for a budget minded car. It's not a Ferrari, but within the speed limits I can zip around OK by choosing the right gear. For the price, and for the MPG, I love this car.
