106 screaming horses.

I find it's more than adequate (the car is very light) and it's well worth it to average 40 MPG.

I have agree. I had an 86 civic with 68 hp and it was good enough for a student getting around. Even with me and my 400 lb Russian friend we would still be ok. It was no GTR but the cars reduced weight made it easier for the little engine to move the car

There's a courier I know of with a 2007 Yaris sedan that has passed 400,000 miles with no repairs (not even brakes or clutch). Just oil changes and tires. Its been posted here at earlier milestones. From my observations, the Yaris is the most trouble free and reliable car ever made. Not bad for $14K.

I know, I was just kiddinnnn around.

I wouldn't drive it on my lawn, it might leave tread marks.

And I agree, Toyota small cars are incredibly reliable

(I know from experience with a Scion XB 1st gen that I purchased for a family member).

Although I'm a sedan guy, I do agree. I love the Liftbacks too.

Looks like it would be a cool little commuter that you could probably easily put 300-400k on reliably with little to no issues.
