Um.... uh... <_<'
Well... you will probably definitely going to be disappointed. xD
You drive a Ford Fiesta ST. =)
And this is a Yaris Hybrid GR SPORT. It's not the limited edition Yaris GRMN supercharged hot hatch. It is... well, it was the first affordable GR car in 2019.
It has the standard 100 hp HSD system with the e-CVT transmission.
The GR SPORT trim adds the sport suspension and Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres from the GRMN car, 17-inch wheels, ultrasuede sport seats, a steering wheel from the GT86 and some various styling and color elements.
The official acceleration from 0 to 100 km\h is 11,8 seconds. It sticks to the ground but not that powerful as your Fiesta ST. =)
BTW, I'm using Yokohama IceGuard IG60 studless winter tires right now.
So yeah... I don't think that you will find this car a blast to drive. X)

Hey, I said it looks like a blast to drive.
Honestly, I didn't know much about the car, just thought it might be on the same level as the Fiesta ST in terms of power and stuff. It still can be fun, right? I've driven cars with very little power that were still a lot of fun to whip around corners (I have never driven a car with a CVT transmission, so I can't speak on that). Some good tires on a relatively lightweight car is more appealing than power, in my opinion.

But you said that you visited the Yosemite road on a Prius. It has the same e-CVT drive.

I think that if the sound insulation is adequate then the cvt won't bother you. The main complains are the engine sound that stays at the same rpm when you accelerate hard. And actually, when I took the Yaris on a test drive, they gave me a cheaper model that had worse sound insulation and the noise was very noticeable, but in this one it's much better. You will only hear the engine when you floor it and... I kinda like how it sounds in this one. The faint electric whine on the deceleration and a distant low noise of the 4-cylinder on acceleration... I still miss the 3-pot sound of Aygo. That car sounded really good. X)
And the driving is very smooth without gear changes.
Here's a vid I made last summer)

The local weather likes to throw around the word "freezing rain" like it's going out of style, but this time they were not exaggerating.
Probably didn't help that I wasn't around to clear the snow from a couple days prior before the rain started.

Well my brother, father and I dropped the trans out of the GTO to do the clutch.
My truck is still up on the trailer from when we needed to make room in the driveway for the roofing guys dumpster. once more snowmelt happens I hope to get it down and stick it somewhere I can work on it

2015 Mazda 3, 2.5 GT 6-speed manual. I love this car. It's a blast to drive. My only complaint is road noise, but I'm hesitant to put a bunch of sound deadening stuff in the floor because then I won't be able to hear the engine. The sound this car makes is lovely.

New wheels and tires. White wheels certainly aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I like them a lot. I've had a few sets of 17" wheels and thought they looked too large on the car, so these are 16".

Close to being back after the accident. Need to do some fine tuning and a bit of work with some body shims, as this is an oem fender and the one that was on there was a repro. So it’s not quite lining up. But it’s almost there.

I Have owned faster cars before(had a C63 for a little time) but the AWD from FWD is the big difference to get used to.

My Veloster next to my moms Intrepid. I was supposed to run errands and by the time I finally did so, my mom beat me to it. Didn’t expect to see her at Costco the same time as me.

You didn’t tell us which one of you won the race home.
