    Well,
    I have the Micra towed away due to being rear-ended. and I'm now driving a fairly fresh Yaris Hatch, Automatic.

    Notes of comparison.
    I want my car back!
    Really the Yaris isn't as bad as it sounds - quick list after a couple of days.

    Pro's

    - Comfortably Fits a Large Tim's coffee in the front cup holders! This is almost a selling point as I complain about it to myself every day in the Micra!!!
    - a good number of little storage holds and pockets. love that!
    - power delivery on the auto is actually not to bad...sluggish shifts occasionally, but that is usually me trying to force a shift earlier than the auto wants.
    - comfortably fits a Large Tim's Coffee! yes I listed this twice..but really important to me!
    - a real fuel gauge

    Con's

    - uncomfortable to sit in
    - ergos are not good for myself at 6'
    - hatch space sucks!
    - revs higher than the Micra, This could be auto verse manual...not sure, but at nearly 3900 while doing an indicated 100 kmh
    - doesn't seem to have adjustable intermittent wipers
    - really don't like the notchy left/right movement on the auto transmission...lots of manufactures are doing it now, but annoying
    - I don't find the Bluetooth to be as clear as the mirca and have had too dropped calls on it, not sure if that is related or not though.
    - the seat belt receivers that are even with the surface normally are very hard for my 6 year to buckle himself in..if you pull them out he can do it, but they always fall back in.
    - very small glove box! I love the second Micra trunk in the front passenger seat!

    Anyway...shop just called and I should have my car back tomorrow...
