I got a new car! It's a 2005 Toyota Yaris- tiptronic with a 1 liter engine. TINY! It's great for driving in Istanbul. I like it because it feels pretty spacious inside and is a bit high up, but still easy to park. The hills and crazy traffic here are still challenging for me, but I'm getting used to it. Will be much easier to get around with the baby in the car, rather than the dolmus. (I'm not really showing much yet, but did have to buy some maternity pants to fit my belly.)
