    My car

    After owning a brand new fiat punto evo for the past year and half, and my time was up on hire purchase. my parents bought me a 2007 yaris. At first i was thinking its a bit of a old persons car as i am only 21, so i would of been even happier with a ford fiesta. (i sound very spoilt) loads of room in the car, but there is no height adjustment for driver seat. which is very annoying and uncomfortable, but you learn to live with it. there is loads of cup holders and storage throughout the car. the engine... well what engine it can get nippy through some gears, but not very good when your trying to enter the motor way, you HAVE to leave it high gear to gain speed. its so hard to say with this car, i do and i don't like it. you do need to get higher spec with alloys blah blah to make it look a 'nice' car. It has clever back seats. but i can honestly say doing 80mph it feel quieter, steady, and more in control than my brand new fiat. the fuel economy is good. put a tenner and do about 80 miles. which fuel being 132.9... its not bad at all. its saying I'm doing 47-48mpg, but i have a heavy foot, so I'm sure if i drove it like a saint i would get over 50mpg. overal I'm half and half with this car, i like it... and i don't... yes i know don't make sense... but its hard going from a beautiful looking car.. to a boring toyota.. i will learn to like it in time.
