the Yaris does get a little worse mileage than the Echo due to the different final gear ratio, to compensate acceleration on a heavier car.

beautiful car.. i only wish it had a bigger trunk and a rear facing baby seat is hell of a job fitting it in.

I know that the car was heavier than the echo but thanks for the comment about the gear ratio.

actually, the current yaris is no less efficient than the echo was. it is a misconception because of the methodology change in 2008 for testing cars.

under that system, here are the ratings:

2005 Echo-automatic 28 city/36 highway/31 combined
manual 30 city/38 highway/33 combined

2014 Yaris-automatic 30 city/36 highway/32 combined
manual 30 city/37 highway/33 combined

id call it a wash, and for anyone who has spent much time in an echo, the yaris is a drastically better experience.

Well, real world difference in fuel consumption is that the echo gets better mileages than the Yaris. At least, I did notice the difference when i bought my Yaris in 2006.
But if you talk about driving experience, for sure the Yaris is better in every way.

The TEIN Street Basis will get you even lower than that in the rear, but they won't get you that low in the front. At it's lowest level, you'll still have 20mm between the top of the OEM tire and the fender.

If you want to achieve the look you have in mind, you're going to need bags.
