I'm sans Yaris now.... (Now I have a Chevy!) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can understand your need for a 4-door car. The Sonic looks like a fun vehicle, but I'd never buy a Chevy... or any domestic. Nevertheless, I hope it serves you very well as your Uber ride.

BTW, I found my '07 and now my '14 to be "great on the freeway." It was just a matter of fitting them with the proper tyres.

agreed, plus the rear stabilizer bar made a huge difference.

I've owned three; they're OK - but the steering is kinda vague and the gearing is very short which contributes to a buzzy freeway experience. I mean, I never felt uncomfortable in mine, and it was perfectly fine for the four years combined I owned them but the Sonic's a lot more comfortable.

My Yaris was cool, it was light and easy and was a little more eager to change direction - probably because it's only like 2200LBS.

The Sonic has really hefty steering, a really resolved and sporty ride. It's also got a really tall ratio'ed 6Mt. At 70 MPH in 6th my car is barely turning 2k RPMS. The Yaris was more like 3200.

I'll miss my Yaris, though!
