I've been driving a little 2007 Yaris hatch with a 5-speed manual since. The little Yaris actually surprises me as far as handling goes. It's not as agile as the Miata, but for having a rear torsion beam & skinny little 185 tires, it sure can cut through a twisty mountain road quite easily. It's actually quite impressive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
