    My previous car is a Yaris.

    When I got the Yaris I heard people make snide comments like “Anyone see that big guy get out of that tiny car?” then gas prices went up and they became “Hey, what kind of MPG does that thing get?”

    I like hatchbacks. Bigger is fine but nothing huge.

      I have a 2017 Hybrid Yaris in blue like this one:

      That I affectionately call “Blue thunder” 🤣

        The actual model is beautiful, and it has Apple Car/Android auto and also a HUD.

      My Yaris is actually older than me. so old in fact, that it was called “vitz” and/or “echo” in some countries. i am the 4th owner. had to replace the starter, all the fluids and the clutch (cuz old people). best car ever. it has around 100.000 km on it and runs like it rolled out of the factory just yesterday. considering we euros pay up to 7€ per gallon it’s good i still get around 40mpg out of it. love that thing.

      As a taller woman my wife was against us getting a subcompact until I took her to test drive it thinking I wouldn’t fit. Between seeing how comfortable and efficient it was she was entirely on board
