Great money saving car

by jianye3
Sep 25 '07 

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

Pros: cheap to buy, insure, fuel. easy to park, maneuver.
Cons: small may equal more injuries in collisions with almost any other car
The Bottom Line: great car for the money

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 ...

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

Pros: wonderful car, low maintence cost, and great
Cons: Made for teens who probably won't appreciate it wanting "pimped cars"
The Bottom Line: very good car because it saves me money, I have room for friends and I get a comfortable good ride.

To best describe how I feel about this product I think its best I explain the history and a little bit about me. I was a senior in highschool and I drove a buick lesabre. As I was going to turn for my normal route to school a truck ran the red light ...

The Yaris Works Hard for the Money

by lotus5112
Jun 13 '07 - Updated Jun 18 '07 

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

Pros: 35MP/40MPG MP3 Player 30-35 dollars fills up the tank
Cons: Nervousness from getting crushed by a SUV. Seats can be uncomfortable on long drives. Noisy.
The Bottom Line: Great budget car with excellent gas mileage. However, increased vigilance necessary to avoid potential fatal accidents. Great for a commuter.

Overview I purchased this car after driving my father's Camry for most of my life. I got fed up with the poor gas mileage on the camry. I was deciding whether to buy a Corolla or the Yaris. Both cars are similarly equipped and have ...

Yaris is awesome!

by mack24
Mar 18 '08 

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

Pros: Fuel mileage, sporty appearance, easy parking, price
Cons: None yet
The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong if you're looking for a reliable car to get you from A to B cheaply while keeping a sporty appearance.

After driving a 1993 Toyota Corolla for 14 years it was time to get a new car. I thought I wanted to get another Corolla but could not justify the price they were asking. A salesman talked me into test driving the Yaris. I couldn't believe the room it ...

Yaris Sedan- So Far It's Great!

by zarazinzen
Sep 13 '07 

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

Pros: Excellent gas mileage and range. Good ride/seat Very roomy MP3 jack great
Cons: Road noise is loud No cruise control Speedometer hard to see w/trifocals
The Bottom Line: This is not a BMW but for what it is you can't beat it! I'd buy it again.

While the front of the car is somewhat short and stubby I'm really getting used to it already. The rear of the car is rather nice but the flat sides are rather hideous. The interior is very well laid out but focusing on the center mounted speedometer ...

A great little car, but not a real sedan

by andyramsNew Member
Jun 30 '09 

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

Pros: Refined engine, room, boot, A/C, gearshift
Cons: No sense of power or urgency from engine, hard suspension
The Bottom Line: Great commuter car, good in city traffic, but built to proce, not a real sedan

I have driven the Yaris around for 3 months and found it to be a great little car wth all the typical Toyota traits: lots of car for a little money, great fuel efficiency, clean build and design and no quality problems. But here in the Middle East, the ...

Yaris? Surprising quality!

by timtya2go
Jul 12 '08 

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

Pros: Great styling. Gas mileage. Cool AC. Responsive tracking/good ride!
Cons: I have found nothing bad, about this car.
The Bottom Line: I see this car as the necessary answer to the rise in gas prices. So much comfort and such good options, make this car, the wave of the future!

I bought the Yaris, sight unseen, I never took a test drive, I merely went to a local dealership, sat in the various models, looked in disgust at the add ons and mark-ups from the dealer, and then went to the credit union and had the car delivered to my ...

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

Pros: Great on gas, easy to find parking (small car),roomy, automatic engine is quick
Cons: Blind spots, high dashboard.
The Bottom Line: Great little car for space & fuel.

My fiance purchased a 2008 Yaris for "us", he said as he put his belongings in the trunk. The said trunk of this car has great depth & width. Forgive my lack of specs, but it easily fit a huge boxed-up Costo run. Moving onto the interior of the car, ...

New car = Adventure!

by bryn76
Jul 23 '08 

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

Pros: AWESOME MPG, roomy interior for small car, big trunk, fits carseats
Cons: Seats not very comfortable, doesn't coast, light shine in eyes
The Bottom Line: Toyota gives you a tiny little vehicle, yet allows you plenty of interior space, adds a few little perks here and there, and blows you away with fabulous gas mileage.

We just bought a 2008 Toyota Yaris Sedan. Our entire reason for purchasing it was for the great gas mileage. We have a family friend who's driven a Yaris for a couple years now (purchased one shortly after they were introduced to the market), and he ...

Disapointing Yaris

by sandgroper31
Apr 12 '09 

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

Pros: Probable good resale value
Cons: Sluggish performance with no significant gain in economy  
The Bottom Line:

Do not buy the overrated Yaris. There are much better vehicles available


I purchased a new Daihatsu Applause in 1993 and without a doubt it was the best car I've ever owned from the perspectives of comfort, reliability, practicality and performance. Nothing ever went wrong with it while I've driven 330,000 ...

Good to getting you from Point A to Point B.

by dianascott
Mar 04 '08 

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

Pros: roomy, good on gas, quiet, comfortable seats
Cons: electric fuel tank reader, no engine temperature reader, lightweight on highways
The Bottom Line: Good for driving around town, not so fun for highways

I had recently turned in a lease on a Honda Civic. Reading the great reviews on the 2008 Yaris, I picked that car after a brief test drive. For one, the interior of the Yaris is incredibly different than the Civic; there are far less controls and more ...

Cons: speedometer in center of dashboard
The Bottom Line: Great new car to buy since gas is so high these days.

This is a nice cheap, safe reliable car to own.I bought one because of the 40mpg and it is much better than the ford explorer I used to own. If you want to save money at the gas pump then this is the car for you. When buying a car I also looked at ...
