The Prius and Yaris are two cars I was considering getting myself.

The Yaris has the spedometer right in the middle of the dashboard, over top of the radio. EDIT: better picture: http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1...ck.dsh.500.jpg This is one reason I would not get a Yaris. I think it would be difficult to drive like that. The 2007's may be different though.

I would be hesitant to get a Prius because it's so new, I'd be afraid it would break. But that's based on no research or hard data whatsoever. It may be worthwhile to do some actual research on reliability etc.

I'd probably drive them both and see which is more comfortable. If there's no noticeable difference, I'd get the cheaper one, or else the one that is smaller.

Neither car is ugly. What is wrong with you people?
