No...you're not getting old. Well, ok ,maybe you are, but I'm pretty sure I'm older than you. It's not about self respect...it's about what you can enjoy. I wouldn't feel emasculated driving something like a Yaris...I'd just hate it's lack of power. I don't drive all that much...I fill up my tank once a month, maybe twice so gas isn't a huge deal. I like knowing I have the power to pass a vehicle on the highway if I need to. I also like knowing my car (or truck) does 0-60 in more than just theory.

Sounds like personal problem to me. I have no problem driving the Yaris, I have nothing to prove on the streets. It gets me to 60-75 fast enough to keep up with traffic. It's every bit as fast as the civic or Explorer was. It's way more fun to drive then either of those two as well. I averaged over 38mpg on my first full tank of gas. I've had the car for a week and a half and have already put over 700 miles on it. It's saving me a ton of money to drive. If you don't like the Yaris, fine, don't buy or drive one. I don't see why we should be little one another based on our choice of transportation. My motorcycle is capable of doing 12 sec 1/4 miles and still gets +50mpg.. I rarely drive it WOT any where though.
