I'm more interested in finding out how the Mirage or a Spark drives, since the Yaris hasn't changed much over the years. I guess it would still be interesting to compare a 2016/17 Yaris to my 2009. I'll be happy with whatever I get, as long as they don't "upgrade" me to something that uses lots of gas.

It's certainly a good looking car, and I've read that it handles surprisingly well. I wonder about long term reliability.
