Maybe it's just me but I think the car is too soft and still somewhat underpowered.

I still don't understand why they've decided to go with Yaris, it looks ridiculous as WRC machine.
I'm curious to see it wider with new regulation, it will be like a square. :)
Is there any expert guy who knows what the implications are with a shorter car regarding driving? Will it be more stable than a bigger one? More easy drivable? And what about mechanics parts? Will it be harder to find space for them?
Or it will just not change anything compared to a bigger car?
is it optical illusion or is wheelbase of yaris really shorter than polo/3/fiesta?
Yaris - 2450 cm

So if they're not changing wheelbase for building WRC then Polo is the longest, the rest is basically the same.
Polo R is 2470 mm. You have there value and picture of Golf ;)
And by the way Your values are in mm not cm. Those would be some trains :)
2637 is Golf, Polo is 2480mm

Current i20 WRC is 2480 mm. Stock car probably a bit less as they can use up to additional 1% of the stock wheelbase for the WRC.
