Yeah, I feel you on that one. My MR2 screams on the freeway and I hate it. The very close gears means I'm in 4th gear by 40mph, so there's a lot of shifting in the city. My V6 MR2 will rev at about 3000rpm at 80mph, which is much more acceptable to me. The wide torque curve is also a huge plus.

The C50 should be a good match for a fuel sipping psuedo performance Yaris.
