Just came back from an amazing trip to Lebanon, and one of the best things I did was rent a Toyota Yaris Hatchback. My friend requested that I do a review about it so here it goes.

Although the car has manual powered windows, doors that have to be locked individually, no boot space, and is smaller than a shopping cart, it was extremely fun to drive. Lets look at the specs:

Engine: 1.5 liter, 4 cylinder
Power: 110 hp
weight: 2,113 lbs, which is very light compared to other cars, its around 420lbs lighter than a Mini Cooper. The car drove like a go-kart, it was extremely nimble, quick, and responsive which made it very fun to drive around, and for driving in Lebanon, something like that is a must. This reassured me on how important weight is to how a car drives and reacts and the main reason of this post. Remember:

More power = Faster in straight line
Less weight = Faster in straight line, in corners and braking
