we all have to face the fact if we are in a head on or offset collision at even a moderate speed we have a decent chance of either dying instantly or being crippled and/or brain damaged for life. there are very few cars we would collide with that would afford us the opportunity to fare better than that in a head on crash./QUOTE]

I thought this web site was for owners of the Yaris. So unless you own a Yaris, as well as the vehicle you talk about owning, and have a constructive thing to save to reduce the risk of being killed during a head on accident while driving a Yaris, why are you wasting space on this web site? I traded in a Ford Ranger, as a down payment, to buy my second 2007 Yaris 3 door hatchback, (yes I am making two car payments on 2 Yarises, that how good I think the design of the Yaris 3 door liftback is.). I have been rear ended, in a Horizon, by a Ford F350, by a driver who expected me to run a red light on a interstate off ramp. The rear end of the Horizon was crushed in. Other than a shoulder bruise, which took 3 months to heal, I walked away from the accident. I think the Yaris 3 door hatchback is the best designed automobile I have owned or have seen. Driving a Yaris is a lot safer than riding a bicycle on the road. I know what it is like to be rear ended, while riding a bicycle, by a van. 6 weeks in the hospital. One year out patient doing spinal rehabilitation. 2 1/2 years vocational rehabilitation.
