My car before the Yaris was a '96 Geo Metro, with three cylinders of fury putting out 49hp. I was constantly frustrated by people in front of me on highway on-ramps who didn't seem to know what the right pedal was for. I never had any trouble keeping up with traffic, unless I was going up a mountain, or the speed limit was above 75. The speedometer only went up to 85 for a reason.

The Yaris feels like a rocket ship by comparison. It has more than twice the power, and only weighs a few hundred more pounds. It can go 115mph. How much faster do you need to go?
