Great Economy Car with a Nice Look too!

2010 Toyota Yaris 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Yaris Sedan was a good choice. Nice trunk space and enough room in backseat for 2 kids. I've averaged 36.5 to 38.5 miles per gallon. Handles very well around corners etc. Although it does handle well, it is somewhat fussy to keep straight on road due to tight handling performance. I purchased this car with electric everything. Overall, I would purchase one again.

Favorite Features

Gas Mileage!!!

Suggested Improvements

Electric door opener doesn't have a trunk release on it so need to insert key or pull lever inside of car. Also, heaters in front are located directly behind the cup holder, hence blowing hot/cold air on your drink.

Review

I'm a car enthusiast. I know a lot about cars and have owned everything from muscle cars to sports cars to big luxury cars to tiny commuters. The Yaris is my favorite all arounder so far. It looks great, gets AMAZING gas mileage, it's fun to drive, and feels solid on the road. The ride is an excellent mix of comfort and handling, the stick feels great, and it's just a great car to get in and go. The engine, though small, is really great. Very smooth, quiet, efficient, and it has adequate power. The sedan's trunk and rear leg room match many large cars. It's amazing how small it is on the outside and how large it is inside. Overall, the best car for the money out there.

Favorite Features

Price, engine, transmission, ride, reliability, solid feel, looks, low cost to own, fuel economy. It's everything my 07 Corolla was and more. No regrets at all. I love this car.

Suggested Improvements

The interior design is somewhat gimmicky, although it works. I wish the stereo was removable in case I want to upgrade. Toyota makes a decent stereo though, so it's sufficient at least. It would be nice to have the auto headlights like the Corolla.

Review

The Yaris is definitely not a performance car. If you want to burn some rubber, look elsewhere. Highway miles going 60 - 70 I got 42 mpg while running AC. City only I got mid 30's with AC and driving conservatively. Comfortable and handles well. Had a Tercel before that was still running well @ 177K miles. Tercel gave me no headaches ever, hope this car will be as reliable. Stereo system is so-so but does the job. Radio reception is poor. Interior is roomy, seats are nice, instruments are clearly visible. Everything is manual (windows, locks), so there's less stuff to brake. If you're looking for a reliable economy car that gets great gas mileage and doesn't brake the bank look no further.

Favorite Features

If you're a do-it-yourself car mechanic, there's no better new car than the Yaris. Easy access to everything, air filter, oil filter, battery, transmission, brake reservoir/lines/valves, etc. No special tools required. This saves a lot of costly and annoying visits to the dealership.

Suggested Improvements

I'd like to say more UMPF but it's an economy car, not a race car. Ground clearance on the low side.
