I've 100k on my 09 3dr. The engine is as quite as a church mouse but the tire and road noise is brutal. Yokohamas are no better than the originals.

Otoh the Mighty Yaris does everything it supposed to and more. All the while beating its EPA ratings.

You're right, the engine isn't that noisy at all.
This is funny as I rented 07 Yaris HB for a few days way back in 2007 and one of the things I remembered was noisy buzzy engine noise. Maybe it was brand new and quiet tires?
Another annoying thing I remembered was that center instrument panel.
Now, after driving Prius for a few years, the center cluster seems to be in the best possible location.
