yaris takes a blown tire really well
Was driving to the Australian Pink Floyd concert in Atlanta, and went around a corner that had a sewer drain that stuck out about 2 inches. Stupid thing bit the tire OFF and took a chunk outof the rim ( $300 bux to replace them ) but I didn't even know it was flat till someone flagged me down on the sidewalk to tell me the back tire went flat. No problems, no leaning, heck it drove like it always does. little tank.
Still getting 32mpg at 5000 miles. made it up to 39mpg on an all highway trip. Still enjoy the car, but if the smart car or mercedes a class gets here I may be swayed.

Good thing you weren't lowered... would have made a nice mess of things.

My back left tire blew when I was going at 160km/h on the motorway, 1 week after I had bought the car.Thanks God it is a bit heavy and I was able to control it!
