I like the Yaris better. If your aim is to learn to drive, learning on a car that is closer to the dimensions of other cars (unlike the Smart) will help you in the future. Trust me...there will be times in your life where you will either a) have to drive someone else's car, b) rent a car, or c) use a moving van/truck, and driving a subcompact is different enough from driving a full-size sedan/station wagon/van/truck--it would only be worse with the Smart.
Besides, it seems to me the Yaris gives you more flexibility...what if you relocate and aren't just driving around the city any more?
