I bought a preowned 2009 Yaris S in January with 77,500 miles on it. Have put 16,000 miles on it since. It's an amazing car. Decent gas mileage, relatively quiet and very reliable. I've had no issues with it other than a headlight going out (which my mechanic didn't even charge to replace). I'm 6'3 and I fit fine in it. Does have trouble with going up mountain, but with 106 horsepower, you have to accept that. Would be nice if it had automatic looks, but that's not too big a deal. I would suggest a Yaris to anyone. This is also after I had a 2000 Echo that I drove for six years and got rid of with 199,800 miles on it.

Econobox

For the price, I really can't complain. Have had some build quality issues, but they are all minor. It does make a lot of engine noise, and tire noise is also annoying at times- but then again, it is an econobox. I hope to get at least 200,000 miles on it before any major repairs have to be done. I sense that Toyota has slacked off on some of it's products, but I think the Yaris is worth the buy.

After 50000 miles and four years the car has been great. lot of people still ask about this car. great value. its not great in acceleration but smooth at 70mph. Got a new 6 in. touchscreen kenwood stereo with bluetooth audio and telephone, ipod integration, and pandora to bring it to today's AV standard. It does great with snow tires in Minnesota winters. My wife prefers this car in snow over her new Sienna and Acura TSX. That's says something about this car. Just another great Toyota

I bought this used Yaris 2009 from car dealership. Found good at price with low miles 44,000. Great condition like brand new. The original owner did not drive this much, took good care of it. I was impressed....... I fell in love with Yaris just because it's a great gas saver for the driving city. And easy to park on street or at the mall parking. Cute simple inside/outside and a little bit roomy (Unlike Fiat seats which is not much roomy for the long legs). Great cup holder for the drink, I like that idea. Plenty of glove box for your smal stuff. Odometer in the center doesn't bother me at all, get used to it after a year, it's unique look. No big deal for the back seats because almost no one ride in my Yaris LOL yeah only if someone ask me for a ride or I give them a ride. Not a good idea for taller person over 6'0". It's for short people under 5'9" like me perfect fit in my Yaris. Yaris is fun to drive and cute hatchback like round eggs.

Nice Little Car

I bought this car for my wife on our 19th wedding anniversary and almost a year later am completely satisfied. Contrary to Edmund's review, this car has very good pickup with an automatic transmission. It offers all options including power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as a security system that automatically locks the doors after about 30 seconds. The gas mileage is a huge plus. I average around 40 mpg during normal every day driving. The center display takes some time to get used to but after a while is no problem and actually feels well placed. 15 inch tires makes it handle extremely well. Overall, this is one nice little car when upgraded with available options.
