Some advice..Might pick up a yaris

Ok i was thinking about getting one of these little cars just the sedan one and getting rid of my 4x4 taco.
I am tired of the 15-17mpg
I dont need the S one and the hatch is WAY to small.
This would mainly just be for getting me to work and running around since my XRunner never goes out except on nice sunny days and for joy riding. That 40mpg is really nice looking. Compared to spending 60bucks or so every 2 weeks on gas for the 4x4.

how does it do for power I know it only has 106hp but does the weight offset that and can atleast have some passing speed.

I've found the car to be decent on the highway. It's going to be a huge change from what you have, but it'll give you the mileage you're looking for. Just to be clear I'm driving the hatch... so it might be a little different.. but your best bet will be to take a test drive.

hey 05x... my girlfriends looking into one.. i've spoken to you on the tacoma forum before.. anyway

we test drove one last night, the 4 door has TONS of room.. more than a double cab tacoma, but a little narrower.

Its not as quick as the 6cyl tacoma but its decent off the line... we never really got it passed 50 mph since we were on a 35 road, but it got there fairly quickly.. i'm assuming the passing power would be in between the 4cyl taco and 6cyl, considering its much lighter than the taco.

All in all , we were really impressed, going to pick one up this summer probably... also test drive the prius for the hell of it if you havent yet.. funky stuff
