Safe schmafe. Don't get in an accident and theres no problem!
LOVE the Starlet! Just imagine how good the mpg would be with a modern engine! I think the 75 Rabbit was 1750 lbs also. That's what I want. Light car tiny engine. Also the ergos of a 2 door Yaris/ECHO.

too bad being the best driver in the world isn't enough anymore, as there are soooo many awful, awful drivers on the road in heavier and heavier vehicles. would I buy a manual 1.2 liter diesel engine yaris (or 1.3 liter multijet diesel 500) that weighed 1900 lbs and got 50 mpg? heck yeah I would....but I would be more attentive than I have ever been before. |

 Yaris' don't fare all that well in crash tests either. I drive by three basic rules: Don't be in a hurry. Don't be angry. Don't daydream. There are two other rules that don't apply to me because I don't need or want a cell phone. Don't yak. Don't text. Quote:
That engine got good mileage with a carburetor on it!  Here's a pic of the larger 1.3 engine...  Quote:

Probably the best of the 80's FWD but not super light at around 2200lbs but with 175hp the Dodge Omni GLHS is to me is the first real hot hatch ever. I had one for a couple of years with a built motor with around 325whp.

Oh Yeah, we get in the wife's Camry, it was like jumpin from the Camry to the Capirce, takes quite a few turns and scenarios to get used to the handling. Yaris definitely fun to drive and predictable.
