Good questions. I think the 5dr liftback would meet most of your needs. I hauled some really big stuff in my liftback (delivery work) and if the surfboards are under 6.5 feet, they should fit, but you'll need to push forward the front passenger seat and recline it forward.
If you're taking on 4 passenger and they're all tall, the shortest person should take the front passenger seat since the glove box significantly cuts into leg room. In the slippery stuff, if the roads are plowed and the car has enough traction to get up the incline then no worries. The problem is getting traction to keep the car moving, other then that one weakness, the car has excellent handling in the slick stuff and even better braking ability. Power options are a must have, but if you're in Canada, you need to be leery of the durability of the ABS sensors. Also, I'm thinking about getting another Yaris as a second car, but it's not on top of my list. Main reason being is that the 5spd manual transmission has bad clutch take-up and accelerator pedal is too slow when you're punching it for a downshift. Quote:
