Hi all. I'm a proud new owner of a Yaris. My baby is Bayou Blue, 5-speed, Liftback, Power Pkg, Keyless Entry, and does not have abs (!).... Before my last car (Nightmare) - VW GOLF 2002, I had a Honda CRX and before that a Celica.... only the VW had ABS so I'm hoping my old driving habits will kick in... anyone else not have ABS and find it's "ok"?

Also... did you guys have a period when the steering seemed to have a mind of its own when driving highways and hitting bumps here and there? I drove a ways yesterday and felt like I was battling to keep within the lines... I love it though and the color is sooooo cool. How can anyone compare the looks of the Yaris to the drab and generic looking FIT? The CRX was cooler than the FIT!

Anyway.... Once I break my baby in I hope to see what it really does for pickup speeds... I can handle slower driving since I've been a speed demon my whole life and don't want to trash this car!

Who has dealer car alarms, after market ones or none?
