Toyota Yaris - Do I hear an ECHO in here?

by shoplmart shoplmart is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Jun 08 '06 - Updated May 26 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Gas mileage, Price, cute, decent acceleration.
Cons: Noisy, interior space/quality.
The Bottom Line: A decent car for point A-B Transport

After a single generation Toyota has discontinued the ECHO nameplate, and for good reason. While the ECHO got great gas mileage, owners had to make too many compromises. To name a few, the ECHO was uncomfortable, cramped, it handled horribly, and ...

Yaris: Toyota's Subcompact Triple-Play

by drive571 drive571 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200
Sep 20 '06 - Updated Sep 04 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent fuel economy, quality interior materials, comfortable ride, Toyota reputation.
Cons: Numb, watery controls, iffy straight-line stability, less versatile than related xA and xB.
The Bottom Line: Call it an old folks' Scion, or a young person's Camry. Though not exciting, the Yaris plays a solid counterpoint to Toyota's zestier, more extroverted subcompact offerings.

Background “Yaris”—a combination of the German affirmative “Ja” and Charis, a Greek goddess of beauty—isn’t a name that many American motorists will recognize. Or, in all likelihood, pronounce correctly. But as ...

New 2007 Yaris: How much of an improvement over the Echo?

by mkaresh mkaresh is a Lead on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
May 06 '06 - Updated Aug 26 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Economy, large improvement over the Echo, not boring to look it
Cons: Loud engine, no tach, boring to drive
The Bottom Line: Much better than the Echo, but still nothing to get excited about.

Back in 1999 when Epinions was young and standards were still evolving, I reviewed the Toyota Echo. My one-star rating of the tiny car enraged Toyota loyalists, but my review accurately ...

Should the Toyota Yaris be Your Next New Car? The One Year Update*

by mmcphee Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50
Aug 21 '07 - Updated May 28 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Inexpensive, economical transportation
Cons: It is as basic as a car can get
The Bottom Line: Good things come in little packages. Toyota packs enough into the Yaris to make it a good value.

When it became obvious that our 11 year old Ford Taurus was living on borrowed time, a new-to-us car became a necessity. After lots of research, test driving and haggling we purchased a new 2007 Toyota Yaris. The Nitty Gritty Details ...

do I hear a Tercel in here?

by notahapycampr
Jun 13 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great mileage, tall seats, ergonomic, reliable, smooth suspension, best buy for the money.
Cons: moans under acceleration, no lumbar support, thick pillars obstruct visibility.
The Bottom Line: There is no other car that offers this level of quality, reliability and mileage in this price range. Sufficient power and relatively smooth ride for a small car.

When I shopped around for a car, there was really nothing to compete with the Yaris. I was looking for best mileage, reliability and price. Prius would have cost double and taken 10+ yrs to pay back in gas savings. I drove a Honda Fit and was ...

Surprisingly better than average

by jianye3
Jul 03 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Gas mileage, near cavernous interior, somewhat cute, small/easy to park/maneuver
Cons: power and noise of engine, small/risky if you get in an accident
The Bottom Line: The Yaris is a great car for someone who just wants to go from A to B. It is reliable, spacious, and affordable.

The Toyota Yaris is the most affordable Toyota around, but it really doesn't feel entry level. Overall, the car's engine is surprisingly sufficient. On paper, numbers such as 106 hp at a high 6000 rpm and 103 lbs-ft torque at 4200 rpm would lead you to ...

The Automotive Absent-Minded Professor

by tomcruzcontrol
May 09 '06 - Updated May 10 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: excellent gas mileage, low cost, charismatic styling on the sedan model
Cons: interior needs a lot of refining
The Bottom Line: The 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan is a spark of genius that just needs a dose of common sense.

INTRODUCTION AND INTERIOR I test drove the base Toyota Yaris sedan with a manual transmission. For my 6 foot frame, the interior was workable, with adequate headroom and the pedals at a reasonable distance (with the seat all the way back). However, ...

Pros: Great gas millage, great bang for your buck, awsome car
Cons: armrest does not really extend far enough

The 2007 Yaris - Small is Sexy

by rainangel
Nov 13 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Large interior, great gas mileage, comfortable ride, reasonable price range, stylish design
Cons: Instrument panel takes time to adjust to, average stereo sound, strange placement of cupholders
The Bottom Line: Is the 2007 Toyota Yaris a revolutionary model designed to blow away the competition? Not really. But it's comfortable, perky, sporty, great on gas, and very affordable.

I've been reading the reviews of the 2007 Toyota Yaris, and most of them have been positive for a good reason. This car is an amazing buy for the money. I own the Yaris 4-door Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 4A 106 hp). It's comfortable, roomy, solid, stylish and quite ...

Pros: Great price and great extras
Cons: Engine is a bit sluggish
The Bottom Line: A great little city car.

The Toyota Motor Corporation is currently ranked number 2 in the world motor market in terms of sales. It recently superseded Ford, who were number 2 before Toyota, last year and if current trends continue, the Toyota Motor Corporation will become number ...

Amazing little car with a big heart (and interior)

by p14001
Jul 03 '07 - Updated Nov 07 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price, mileage, fun and peppy ride!
Cons: Base model is too sparse - options maybe not optional.
The Bottom Line: Great for short commutes and about town. The mileage makes this car a real money saver

My wife and I barely use the 2nd car. When we went looking for something to replace our dying station wagon we wanted something small (for city parking), safe, reliable, economical and that didn't need to be taken to the gas station too often. We ...

Love my Yaris!!! (sedan)

by lbevers
Jun 18 '06 - Updated Jun 19 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great Price Tag, Zippy Little drive, Reliable
Cons: Slow pickup, no floor mats, hard to find!
The Bottom Line: I love this car and think it is a great 2nd car. If you are looking for great price, reliability and gas mileage this car fits the bill.

When our second car died we were looking for a replacement. We have a gas guzzling S.U.V. and I wanted something with better gas mileage. I was looking for a reliable car with a low price tag and great mileage since it was our second car. In early ...

Toyota Yaris 3-door

by aotellin
Jul 25 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: comfortable, great transmissions, practical, easy on gas
Cons: steering
The Bottom Line: great for short trips. not good for highway driving. Try 5-speed manual- it's a pleasure.

I tried 2 3-door Yarises today, with standard and automatic transmissions. Seating is very comfortable, tilt wheel is a joke, doesn't matter in this car, it's amplitude is minimal. Seats are very nice, not soft not very firm. I am 6' tall, I had no ...

Toyota Yaris: Lemon??

by yarisvictim
Aug 26 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Cant think of any at the moment... Nope, nothing
Cons: Rusty brakes, e brake cables froze, handles poorly in snow, terrible customer service
The Bottom Line: Do not buy a Yaris. Save yourself the headache. It is a cheesy car with bad brakes, poor handling and impracticle interior design.

Well... Where to begin? I purchased my 2007 Yaris in June of 2006. A few days after picking it up, I noticed a faint squeak when braking. Thinking to myself: that cannot have been my car; its brand new, I ignored it and didnt bring it up until my 16,000 ...

Good Value for the Money

by iarnuocon
Jul 28 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good commuter vehicle, good dash storage, roomy interior for a sub-compact, great mileage.
Cons: limited cargo space, bit under-powered, body design promotes chipped paint on hood.
The Bottom Line: For a sub-compact, comfortable, great mileage, and good value for the money. I'll buy another one in the future.

I bought two '07 hatchback models in December of '06; one 5-speed manual and one 4-speed automatic. The wife and I both commute 100 miles round trip, daily, and have racked up 15,000 miles on each vehicle over 7 months. Both vehicles have been ...
