I own a 3 door hatch with Automatic Transmission. Bought new and have put 117,000 miles on it as I commute 30 miles each way to work, mostly freeway. MPG is pretty darn good at about 33 in winter and 36 summer. I change the oil regularly and the only thing I had to replace other than tires and wipers was the battery. The problems are that Toyota messed up with the instrument panel. The horrible Amber color is hard to see at times and dims when you put the headlights on. At night its not an issue, but daytime it can be. I live 6 miles off the highway on a very curvy and hilly road. It's great around corners, but the long steep grade isn't so good. If there is Snow, forget it.. I've nearly not made it home, due to the hills. If it was flat, it'd probably be okay if you drove sanely. But all in all it is a good car. I just wish it had 4 wheel drive.

Traded in a 95 van that got 13 MPG on a good day and wanted a green vehicle. So far I really like my car. In the summer I average 36-38 MPG. In the winners it's more like 33-34. I travel about 60/40 (highway/city) in a hilly area. On a flat highway I get 42+ mpg. The Yaris is not a luxury car but it has a decent ride and plenty of pep. In fact it's more comfortable to drive than my LeSabre because the seats are high, and you don't feel like you're sitting on the ground like you do in a Corvette or Firebird. The center console takes some getting use to but at night you don't have any distractions and it's easier to see. Good air and heat. It's a very fine economical car
Lowest ownership costs of any car!!

Best for Buck, I never expand single $ except windshield wipers after 3 years, windshield fluid every six months, Oil change every month, battery after 4 years, staring fluid after 3 years, breaks each year and tires after every 2 years. timing belt after 6 years. This car starts every day and runs smoothly since April 2009. I recommend this car for a college student or recent pass out and daily commuters. It is good at wet and snow too just use good brand tires like Bridgestone, Firestone or BFGoodrich.

If you are concerned about how the body of the car looks, this car is not a good bet. Paint began deteriorating at 6 years and has grown steadily worse.
