I find all the CVT's currently being used (in sub $25K cars, at least) to suck all the joy out of driving completely.

A few mods, like a throttle controller, and mashing it to the floor fixes most of that. But yes, I agree in general.

200k??!! I have 291k on my tercel running 16lbs of boost...your yaris is fine. Keep it. 300+ is not unrealistic at all in the Yaris.

The only reason to get a new car is when the Yaris is totaled in my opinion.

I have been thinking over the last couple months that a new daily will be in the cards over the next couple years and the Yaris will become a strictly play car. I have mulled over what I would be doing next and the Prius was one of my considerations, but really when you get right down to it there isn't a need or want that I have that would warrant it. I am just not into the LB scene and even though the Corolla would be tempting albeit with a turbo install for sure I most likely if I can swing it will go with either a GS350-F or IS350-F. I know that these are far from what this discussion calls for since it appears that this is all about mpg yet again, but man oh man those F series cars are sugary sweet!

You strike me as an Audi A4 type.

What say you about one of those?

Audi is nice too, but for the most part I am a Toyota man. Also the maintenance on Audi cam get pretty expensive. Not saying Lexus is cheap, but I believe it would be less.
