Car of my dreams

I am a student that uses this car for commuting Since I live in San Francisco I have to parallel park all the time, or find small places to fit in. Almost every single time I have a hard time finding parking the yaris has always come in handy. Another good part is how I can make quick U-turns pretty much everywhere (without having to reverse) The only thing that sucks is sometimes I can be a speed devil and I'm on the freeway hitting the gas to the max and it takes like 20-30 seconds for it to actually start to kick in a speed up to 85-95mph I've come to very close calls crashing into other cars, but I've always hit the breaks and they've never failed me. I love my yaris!!

I absolutely love this car. Reasonably priced, a solid built car, handles great, a very tight turning radius, nimble. Great, great MPG. Plenty of interior room.

Not a race car

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.

Best highway mpg

We purchased this car to park the silverado in hopes to achieve 37 mpg from everyone else's reviews. keeping the car at 70 mph or less we maintain 35-36 which is very impressive. took a highway trip and set it on cruise which was added, at 65 mph and at 280 miles we did get 46 mpg. i have no complaints for the compromise of mileage. if I did not have cruise control added i would not enjoy highway trips. overall if driven with a light foot and 70 or less mph good result await you. enjoy

2010 Hatchback, Auto. It has some upgrades. IMO, a great commuter vehicle. I consistently put 2000 miles a month on this little puddle jumper and 2021 I pay less than $175 a month in gas (regular). Freeway driving = 36 MPG. I can change the oil in less than 10 minutes and everything related to maintenance is super accessible. Surprisingly solid, no rattles at all. Road noise is above average, but manageable. Handling is very good. The brakes/stopping efficiency on this thing is simply awesome, I remember reading they're best in class in that area. I remember initially laughing these cars off before I even looked at them, but my oldest son (a Toyota tech for 10 year) raved about these cars from a reliability standpoint. After owning and driving one for a few years now I have to agree. These are just so inexpensive, reliable, and easy to maintain...what else can I say? (2021 year update - Every word written above is STILL true.) (2022 year update - I traded my Yaris to a 2018 Honda Civic. The Yaris was a great car for me when I was economically challenged - reliable beyond belief and absolutely cheap to run. My finances improved where I could get a nicer car with more features. I was interested in staying within the Toyota family. A 2-door corolla would have made a great choice, but they're not made. So I went to the civic. I'll always remember the Yaris - it was a super little car and I'll always recommend them as they have no peer in their class.
