Is the Yaris mostly for Urban Transportation?

[Dorkinheimer]

OK, with my 2007 manual Yaris on 14 inch wheels, I would take long road trips, like 4000 km's and I would drive at 120 km/h, and the motor was spinning at 3300 rpm. If it was only a short trip, I wouldn't mind but when you drive for 15 to 20 hours at 120-130 kmh and you hear the motor spinning from 3300 to 3500 constantly, it's makes you wonder what kind of punishment it's receiving...

The yaris is a wonderful car, but I thnk its mostly for city driving and a good car for taking trips under 110 kmh with the manual.

For a while I was thinking of buying a Honda Fit, but I heard that it spins at 3000 RPM at 100 km/h, so 200 RPM faster than the Yaris with a manual transmission.
They said that the Fit is very noisy over 3000 RPM or 100 km/h. So we can say the same with any car....over 3000 RPM it starts to become noisy, and noisy means wear and tear.

Dorkinheimer, forgive me for asking, but.....

If your mind is already made up, why ask the question? Maybe you and caveatipse should get together.....
