That being said I wouldn't swap my car for anything. I've driven a lot of cars for work and while abroad and nothing is as comfortable as my Yaris and certainly not as reliable. When I was in Scandinavia last year there were several days I was driving more than 12 hours and I wasn't even that sore afterwards. Other cars have me feeling sore and fed up after a few.

Yes, for a small car they are actually quite comfortable for a highway drive. We're actually talking about taking our Yaris on our annual summer trips. Likely Toronto area again this up-coming summer. That's about 16 hours of driving over two days. Normally we would take our van, but after driving the Yaris on the highway, we may end up taking it instead.
