I rented a yaris sedan automatic in SoCal a couple of weeks ago (previous generation) and it got 34.7mpg over 300 miles (200 freeway at 70mph+ and 100 city). Over all very impressive BUT this is the most unstable car in cross winds that I've ever experienced short of an empty Econoline. It needs bigger tires or a shorter green house or both. Also the center mounted instrument cluster is stupid. I hope they fixed these problems on the newer Yaris.
i would consider a Prius C 3 door if they ever bring one to the US. Just needs to be lowered and bigger, stickier tires.
