Sitting in one at a show and actually driving one is very different.  We 
spent a lot of time driving it and the Prius when we were deciding between

the two.  The Yaris is a capable scooter, but as has been discussed here, 
we found the wheel to be uncomfortable and we also found the seats to be 
too cardboardy.  We use it for both around town and long distance trips. 
Being that the Prius is a much more comfortable vehicle and more robust, 
we went with the Prius and are still glad that we did.  We are getting 53 
MPG around town these days.
