On the highway the RPMs are a bit higher, usually 2,900-3,200 RPMs, but again, it is not objectionable and it is still quiet at 75-80 mph.
so as not to confuse anyone, the yaris at 75-80 mph WILL NOT be at 2900-3200 rpms, instead considerably higher. if you thought it was quiet at that speed, perhaps in your old age youve lost some hearing

Please, there is no need to be derogatory.

um....i hope you didnt take that comment seriously. anyway, i do think for what it is, an entry level subcompact designed (originally in japan as a city runabout) it is a good value. if i had to take it on a highway trip for very long, thoough, it would get tiresome. ive said before, if people can find them packaged where they are $12-$13k they are a good value, but not at $15k.

I'm curious - do you know how much your purchase price was below the sticker price of your car?
The Corolla is definitely long on the comfy and short on the handling - I'm not surprised the Yaris is more limber by comparison. And 36 mpg from the auto in mixed driving bodes well, especially on such a new car.

This is how I have mine ordered, I wanted the base model with the power package, cause in KY you have to get a sedan sport to get the power, ABS, etc. and it comes out more, so they have to order it from Japan, and it is due in late May or early June they said. I ordered mine in the flint Mica. Mine will be about $15,300 with security and keyless added at the port. I agree it seems like a lot an entry vehicle, but I just can't get comfortable in a corolla, and the interior is blah. I much rather have a Scion xB, but the gas mileage just is not there, but features was, so if Im going to live with this reliable Yaris for several years I want not to skimp on features, it is coming out around what my 1995 Saturn cost me and I had that with power, ABS, etc. So I don't think I will regret the purchase I had done several overnights and in my 180 miles I averaged 35.5 mph and this was mixed driving, and under 200 miles on the vehicle. I thought the interior noise was low, yes you get on certain road surfaces and the noise comes in but I was on freshly laid road surface, and I was at 70-75 and it was really quiet. So it doesn't isolate the noise frm the tires very well, but maybe future tire purchase will help more. I had no complaints. I just have my fingers cross that I get the black toyota looking stereo and not that LCD in dash one tha I didn't like, I believe they told me that was only in the sports. Im getting the base with power package.

Sticker was $14,500. The dealer matched their sale prices for a couple other identical Corollas which had been advertised as "only these at this exact price".

Is that 15,300 price before tax/tags and processing fee?
