If you get a Yaris the "s" or sport model has seats that are more adjustable and will be more comfortable over many miles vs. the base car.
A possible cheaper and more reliable option (Toyota Yaris excluded I mean) is to buy a 92-95 civic VX. They get 56 mpg when new and used get about 51 mpg. The last one I bought I paid $2700 for. They will drive forever and cost next to nothing to keep on the road.
Base corollas and civics can get around 40mpg so a used one of these may be an ultrareliable option too and will get about the same mileage as the ones you mentioned?

My ex has a '95 Civic and has done the worst possible job of anyone I've ever met maintaining his car. It won't die.
