Oh and I thought you guys would enjoy this. I told my mom of my space dilemma and she had an 01 Prizm that she drove until the engine practically fell out and she responded "Oh don't be a pussy, I drove 1700 miles straight in a Rambler with 10 people in the car and all of our stuff. If you need 3 people and all their stuff, you'll find a way." hahaha xD We also took maaaany week long 2 person trips in the Yota, and my mother does not pack light. haha.

How about this one?
2011, Power everything, stick, 60/40 split rear seat, 95k miles, it has a TACH which is rare, a centre arm rest also rare, mudflaps and bumper guard on the rear and it comes with some pretty decent looking rims and rubbers. Not a 5 door though, but still not bad for the money, I'm sure you can have this for $6k and the dealer is offering it with a 10 year 100K warranty from date of purchase. That's pretty cool too and its a PA car - Link below. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...97028982&Log=0

So I bought it! very few complaints, one of which is the paint. Seems very thin and flimsy, but other than that It's very nice. Fit 300 bucks in groceries in the hatch with the seats up, and Im really glad this is my first manual car! It's so much fun, and if you really dig in to it, Once it finds it's power band, It makes a nice little roar and zips along just fine. Shift right and it's dead silent on the highway and it does 85 like it was 30, Couldn't be happier! (:

Also, you mentioned you might contemplate a short roofbar kit. Someone is selling one on here. See link below.

Bloody thing has been indispensable. Aside from luggage and gear, it has been used to haul: - gas cans - liquid pool chlorine - nursery plants - a tree! Try transporting some of that stuff with a roof rack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely. Hahaha. So i tested my first 2 bars being down to see my gas mileage, and I really only drove a stick a few times so i had to practice, and my mileage suffered, but even with all suburban driving in heavy stop start traffic with the occassional stall (Ooops), I still got 23 mpg. This is mostly due to the fact that I find the gas peddle to be suuuuper responsive and occasionally over rev it trying to pull off from a stop sign or light. The brakes squeal sometimes but that aside the car has been perfect, and I never really realized what you can do with 9 cubic feet. Have yet to have to fold the seats down, and I bought a Lawnmower the other day. Haha

UPDATE: I LOVE THIS THING
Okay, so I figured it out, why the low gas mileage, and fortunately it was due nearly entirely to my shite driving habits from years of driving autos. Haha, once i figured out where it can shift both smoothly, and at low rpms, I managed 37 mpg in heavy suburban driving with some 80 mile highway trips. I still have a quarter tank and have 320 miles on this tank! I love this little thing. It's so spunky for what it is. That said i do think I'll invest in some stabilizer bars and a little Uhaul exterior cargo carrier for when i go on my camping trips. I have managed to fit 2 friends and myself and a bicycle with the tire off INSIDE the car. Hahaha, It's a fantastic car and I couldn't be happier with it for the money.

In as few words as possible the Yaris will not meet your needs based on the requirements listed. My suggested alternative would be and 05 thru 09 Ford Crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis. All the safety of a Yaris, "As good as" mileage with the load requirements listed, and they are abundant as police fleets are retiring them in large quantities.
