    Yaris is much better

    I have a Yaris and I get 38 to 45 mpgs. Other people say they have coaxed up to 60 out of it but I don't check my mileage much. I can say that we filled up in Mill Valley and drove all the way to L.A. before we had to fill again. That's really good I think! It's a four seater too and it doesn't have the problems with braking and shifting in the automatic that the smart has. Why is no-one talking about this car? It handles like a dream, it's roomy enough inside to seat four people comfortably, the mileage is great and it parks anywhere easily and it is totally cute....
