The Yaris didn’t do quite as well as the Fit in the IIHS Small overlap test, about the same as the others in the class in the other tests. Only the iA got a rating of good in all tests with a better score for the crash prevention system.
Tinny probably refers more to the fact that compared to the Fit at least it doesn’t feel as well made, built more to a price point.
The winner in the category small car as most loved car in the United States is Honda Civic Coupe >>> http://www.carsdistrict.com/which-are-the-most-loved-cars-in-the-united-states-in-2016/ . Have you seen and tried this car ?
I’ll admit I haven’t kept up with safety regulations for the IIHS, but it would be an interesting test to see how well smaller cars fare against larger cars or trucks/suvs.
It’s kind of relative, it feels way more well made than the Geo Metro I had. 165,000 miles and everything still works. Also, this is not something you can easily evaluate on a test drive.
I’m starting to have trouble with the driver’s side door lock, I have to insert the key just so in order for it to unlock. A fair amount of road noise comes through depending on what kind of pavement I’m driving on, especially at highway speeds.
Two recalls so far, a seat track recall and a passenger side air bag recall, but that air bag was used on a lot of car makes and models.
If you haven’t done this already, put some graphite powder in the lock. For a week or so, you’ll probably want to wipe off your key after using it, as it’ll be dirty.

Why is this latest poster intentionally using shortened and/or incorrect spelling?
Sign of the times . . . ? 
Yea my phone uses most used words so some stuff comes out like that didnt mean to confuse. Sorry but u get what it meant obviously.
Okay
Nothing to be sorry about, I suppose
I honestly thought you were intentionally doing it
As far as that coil goes, I suggest buying it locally. It’s not worth paying s/h charges for something like that. Airtex, standard, or house brand should be fine.
I suspect your coil might be physically cracked, from age, even if it ohms out okay
Replacing the coil is a good educated guess, considering the fact that none of us on this website has the ability to do hands-on diagnosis, because we’re not there
Can’t you proof read your phone before you hit send?
It honestly aint that big of a deal to me see ten times worse on here lol
And the coil is cracked on the bottom in two places or on both sides how ever you look at it.
@stole_MK makes a very good point. Maybe size up just a bit and get a safer and better vehicle. I just tested a Honda Civic Hatch Sport this week. Stick shift, $22K. Over a week of mixed driving, I got better than 38 MPG. I will say this, though. The Civic is classified as a “large” car by the EPA and I would call it midsize. It sure as heck isn’s small anymore. I have previously tested the CVT-equipped new Civic as well and loved that one even more. Both the Civic and Corolla are Top Safety Pick Plus rated for 2017, but the Corolla is safer. It comes standard with that rating, the Civic requires optional equipment. The two-year-old Corollas are not as safe.
