Looks like it's still being used by Lotus, but like you said that doesn't happen to help in the 'availability' equation. |

Yeah, that's why Toyota got rid of them in favor for the 2.4L for the later XRS models, because the lift made it more difficult to pass emissions. |

The one and only time I drove a Yaris is for my very first ever autocross. I rented one from the local U-Car-Share specifically for the event, and the only prep I did was to remove the hubcaps (which weren't allowed) and to add a schweet racing stripe out of blue painter's tape.
It was automatic, and the shift logic on that car was atrocious, but it was so light that tossing it around the cones was actually a lot of fun. |

My previous DD was a 3-door Yaris. It got totaled which let me buy my FRS sooner than later. But, I miss that little car. It was great for my frequent trips to Vegas (very roomy) and with the 5-speed, it was fun, for what it was. The best things were the cup holders (right in front of the vent outlets) and the glove boxes.

Rallying is not doing well. Attendance is way down and more manufacturers are leaving than coming in. I think cars like this are why. We all know that's not a real Yaris, but most people don't and let's be honest- a Yaris is a shit box economic and nothing to get excited about. IMHO Rallying needs Sportscars not econoboxes

Yaris fulfills its intended function very well. It is not designed to "get excited about".
