The Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i with a Freedom Jetstream 1st Class with an actual weight of 750 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Freedom with a User Payload (70 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i Freedom Jetstream 1st Class
Actual Weights
Freedom Jetstream 1st Class: 750 kg.
Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i: 1285 kg.
Noseweight: 50 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 58%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 187 points).
Speeds of 66 mph (107 km/h) to 73 mph (117 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 73 points).
Slightly higher revs (3200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 22.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 185 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (5200 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 58 mph (93 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Toyota is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 69%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 251 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is sufficient.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
