The Yaris is plenty powerful enough for normal street and highway use. Will easily get you to the legal speed limit and keep you there in both scenarios.
What's the speed limit there? Here it's 55-70 on most highways, so 0-60 is fairly important. Bear in mind that 10 second 0-60 stuff is with the pedal on the floor, and who drives like that? Most of us in the US are probably taking 10 seconds to get to 60, because we've got our pedal halfway down. You put the Yaris pedal halfway down and your 0-60 probably becomes 15 seconds.
This is another BIG reason we don't drive cars like Yaris's:
That's in a wreck with a little Camry.
