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 ...

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 ...

Pros: Good value and reputation.
Cons: Possibly not comfortable on your legs.
The Bottom Line: If you can stand it, you'll probably love it.
I read a review from a fellow who was 6'4". I'm not quite that tall. I'm at least 6'2", I figure. I'd like the car if my legs felt comfortable. Lack of comfort was why I traded off the Echo. In that car, the window crank knob stuck into one knee. The ...

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 ...

Cheap and unpretentious
by wildkard58
Nov 05 '08
Author's Product Rating: 
Recommended: No
Pros: Cheap
Good on gas
Cons: Cheap interior
Noisy and not comfy when driven
I had a Yaris sedan as a rental. The kids liked the hatchback but said the sedan was "ugly".
This car is very economical and good on gas. It's peppy in town and looks to be a nice fit for university students, 2nd car for young moms and first car for those fresh out of school.
The things I did not like about this car is the cheapness of the interior. Do not expect anything "upscale" about the interior of the Yaris sedan. I'm 6 feet tall and my head was barely an inch from the ceiling (I found interior space lacking).
In town driving was okay and the car is adequate for virtually all driving situations in the city. On the highway, the car is noisy (engine and exterior noise) and not very comfortable.
The Yaris sedan is what it is: an unpretentious vehicle. It is something that is cheap, economical and fuel efficient. This car will not be a good fit for some people - especially those that are big, tall and expect a better ride. In this car segment, these people should check out the Nissan Versa sedan.

Best little CAR EVER
by homeismyheart
Feb 01 '08 - Updated Feb 02 '08
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Gas mileage, affordability, maneuverability, parking ease, adorable to look at, great sound system
Cons: Zero to date, we have had this car for about 8 months.
We traded in a yukon for this little Yaris. While it was a tough transition at first, due to the size difference...we quickly fell in love. Top performance, easy to drive, maneuver, park, 40 mi to the gallon!! This car saves up hundreds a month over that SUV. It is cute, affordable and fast**!
Thank you Toyota for making a quality, economical car!

Greatest little car
by adl4950

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Gas milage, cargo area, glove compartments, drives well, comfortable seats, easy to maintain
Cons: Easy to forget where you parked it, ABS braking system is hard to find.
I purchased my Yaris in May 2008 as my old Camry finally died. This car is great. Granted people do make fun of it's size, but when it only costs 15 bucks to fill it up for the week I laugh at them. I purchased the 2dr hatch back. The back seats fold down and you'd be amazed at the amount of stuff you can get into the cargo area. I moved my mom with it, and we only needed a truck for the big furnature. I can also say that a Lazy boy recliner will fit in the back, but you do need to tie down the tail gate.
The hatchback seats four adults comfortably with enough leg room so that those in the back seat don't feel like they are crammed into the car. My Yaris has reclining/adjustable rear seats so that more room can be added or subtracted from the rear of the car. The instrument panel on this vehicle is in the middle, which does take some getting used to. But after a few days of driving it, viewing the instruments from the middle of the dash becomes second nature.

Bought eyes wide open - 2 dr hatchback

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Gas mileage, private storage, flexibility (hatchback)
Cons: Seats (lumbar support), noise, ride
Good value with the car. We were able to take our Rottweiler to the vet with no problems. Car gets great gas mileage for the buck. Compare to hybrids, this car maximizes value. The car is small, noisy, and feels every bump as compared to other small cars in the class. If you are looking for luxury - this is not your car. I would recommend knowing your requirements and taking a test drive.
Awesome gas mileage, 2 consoles, water bottle holders in the dash. We purchased the extended warranty (we keep our toyota for 10 years). This is our 3rd Toyota (1995 Tercel, 2004 Matrix (we still own), and 2008 Yaris)
