General Comments:
I love this car! I love this car! I love this car! I don't particularly care for the dealership I bought the car from, but I absolutely love the Yaris. Great on gas. 38 mpg at 60 mph. 32 mpg at 80 mph. Nice and roomy. I am 6'2" and fit in the car comfortably. The only issue I have are the armrest. They are very hard. I've been on this site for a few years now and after reading the reviews of the Corrola, Echo, and Tercel; I feel that I have made a very good choice with Toyota!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I wrote the original post and the first comment on this review. I made another road trip. I drove from New Jersey to Los Angeles. Normal driving (80-90mph) I averaged 40mpg. One day of driving I filled the tank and drove 55mph just to see what fuel consumption I would have. I got an amazing 55 miles to the gallon!!! No, that was no typo. I really got 55mpg. I called Toyota Corporation when I got to L.A. to tell them what a wonderful car they had. On the way back, I went up through Oregon, Washington, and on through Canada. It took me 7 full days to get back to the New Jersey. I ripped down route 1 (Trans Canada HWY) in Canada at 100+ mph. My top speed was 115mph. Interstate 10 in California is a lot of fun to drive on as well. That's another road I hit 115mph. I couldn't get the car past 115mph. Hey, it's a 1.5 liter! Driving through the mountains was awesome. (just don't have the air-conditioner on. LOL)

I am the original reviewer. The car now has 51,000 miles on it. I just took a trip to Miami, FL. 1200 miles one way 2400 miles total. I cruised at about 80-90 the whole way and at a few points got up to 100-105mph. I averaged 37-38mpg the whole way. I love this little car.
No mechanical issues. I get my oil changed and tires rotated every 10,000 miles. Yes, the car has only had 5 oil changes so far. Will keep you guys posted.

I just went to Charlotte this weekend. 600 miles one way. Going down I cruised at 65mph and got 43 mpg! Coming back I cruised at 80-85 mph and got 39 mpg! Awesome!!! Did I make the right choice? I think so...
