Chuck the Yaris into a corner and it responds obediently, tucking in as you lift off and pushing wide as you apply more throttle. Stiffer anti-roll bars have been fitted, while dampers have been sharpened and 8mm shaved off the ride height. Yet, strangely, the SR offers the kind of handling you would expect from a standard Yaris; a performance model really should raise the bar further. It’s also a shame that Toyota has engineered the SR’s stability control to play such an active role, especially as it can’t be switched off.

At £12,995 the Toyota isn’t attempting to compete with the likes of the Clio 197, but it’s still got tough budget competition in the shape of the Suzuki Swift Sport, Fiat Panda 100HP and the recently introduced Clio 138 (see right). Certainly, the SR is a capable and affordable all-rounder, but what we really need is a Yaris GTE…

What about the removable dock that Engadget is talking about down here? What if we want that? Well, I suppose all you’ll have to do is ask, besides that it seems like a pretty lean car to have in the UK. Only thing that I wish that would be changed with is that it should have a bigger screen to dock to. Inseat of wasting space by makng the dock for the TomTom, just put a bigger and easier readable touch screen there, and put the TomTom dock somewhere it can be tucked away out of site, yet still have its recharging capabilities, and be easily accessible.

As discussed earlier today, the technology introduced in cars today is a good way to go, but sometimes it can lead to unwanted problems. I see that cars have enough problems these days, and I’m sure that we don’t need computer virus problems to go with these cars, however it does make the job of being a mechanic more computer oriented.

Think about it, one day when the cars all are out of computers, the mechanic will be the person you see today at Geek Squad. Funny to think about, but there is a little bit of truth in it as you can see. Mobile things are good, its just when the become inconvient, they lose thier sense as mobile devices. This car is not an example of one of those devices, but the car mentioned previously today is.
