Have you tried the sway bar upgrades that people on this forum say make the ride a lot better?
No, I haven’t. I might at some point, maybe next summer. If it really makes a big change, that would make the car a lot nicer.
One good thing I forgot to say is the media system. I think it works really well with Bluetooth on my phone, and the sound system isn’t as bad as some other small cars I’ve had. That’s a big plus for me. The hybrid model can be fairly quiet when you’re driving in the city. The road noise is bad on the highway, like it is in most cars this size.
I own a Yaris sedan, so I might be biased. But get a Yaris sedan (XP90).
It’s a 4-door with good space in the back. And the 1NZ-FE engine is really tough. It’s not fast, but it’s not slow either. It’s fun to drive and easy to drive around town.
It gets 12L/km even if you drive it hard. The shifter is tight, so you might not need a short-shifter. Just get good tires, and you should be good to go.
