I don't recall the other things I didn't like, but generally I didn't like being in the driver's seat for the 3 minutes I sat there.

I don't recall the price spread between the Corolla and Yaris, but at the time I was putting together a list of potential cars to purchase, the Corolla made it and the Yaris did not. The fuel economy of the early Yaris was pretty terrible for such a small car. A Camry would do just as good.

As 98% of people actually buy them (with an automatic transmission) the base Corolla sedan is about $2K more than the base Yaris sedan.
