I am not that tall....5-10, and I hit my head when I tired to get in the sedan. I don't have that problem in the hatchback....so I bought one.

I'm 6'3". Learned to duck.

I do wish the ceiling were a little higher, as on the liftback and the old Yaris.

Thanks for all of the additional advice. I'll most likely be making my decision and purchase TODAY! I'm thinking the auto transmission will be best for me for the convenience. I'd likely get somewhat better gas mileage from manual, but I doubt it would be that much of a difference based on the type of commute I have. No doubt with the type of commute I have, I have very high expectations on gas mileage, and expect 45 MPG or higher at the very least.

That's if I choose to go with a Yaris over a Corolla, Focus, or Elantra...we shall see...stay tuned kids. By the way, the Cash for Clunkers bill that was passed gives me no benefit, my trade in doesn't qualify for it anyway.

Nice.

Just keep in mine that 45 mpg is no cinch to accomplish regularly unless you are really willing to keep it around 55 mph as you stated earlier. 55 is hard to do especially when everyone else is whipping by at 75-85 mph.

With the A/T, my personal best is a paltry 32MPG after 1 year of ownership.....
