I've only had my new 2012 Yaris 3 DR LE a couple of weeks but so far I am impressed. Has good visibility: sits a little higher than my 2001 Corolla LE - gas mileage pretty good, according to the display I'm averaging 33 mpg, all city driving...Driver's seat very comfortable. I love the design of the dashboard/controls, all easy to reach and good-sized control knobs. The two-tone dash (black and soft grey) looks expensive and instead of being perfectly smooth it has a little bit of texture to it. Mine is the Wave Line Pearl color, a light blue. Tire are pretty good quality, Goodyear Assurance. I haven't sat in the rear yet but it looks to be fairly roomy. Handling is good.
Fun Car to Drive and Easy to Park

Limited Cargo room, but if you are smart you can get everything in. I hauled 4 different peoples sets of camping gear and luggage down to the Keys, and got everything in. Easy to find Parking because it fits in small spaces. This car has a lot of pep for a 4 cylndar car and great on gas! I have driven it to NY and back to FL several times now, and it is a very reliable car. I get about 35-37 MPG Hwy and about 27 City. Its a great commuter car. It is a snap together vehicle made with some plastic parts, but it has 9 air bags...

I have had more issues regarding ENGINE OIL FILL LEVEL than anyone should have to deal with. The OIL DIP STICK is totally shiny and smooth on both sides, and mechanics CONSTANTLY overfill my oil when it is changed. Toyota needs to address this issue! I have had to return my Yaris 8 times to the mechanic after checking it when I got home. THIS IS A STUPID OVERSIGHT ON TOYOTA'S PART, and it shouldn't happen! Update: I still love my Yaris. Still having issues with the oil dipstick, but Goodyear (where oil is routinely changed) is double checking that specified quantity of oil is being provided, but due to the design of the dipstick,I can't check my oil levels with any degree of certainty between oil changes. I've never gotten used to the clutch. I've driven a manual transmission for 35 years, and this is the oddest clutch I've ever used.......nothing like the smoothness of my Toyota Tercel. But I STILL enjoy driving my Yaris. But I wouldn't buy another one because of the clutch and the oil dipstick. But I'll definitely buy another Toyota for sure. July 2022 Update: My Toyota Yaris remains trouble-free. The clutch still is an aggravation, but I'm living with it. The dipstick is still a concern. But ownership remains trouble-free. The engine runs smoothly and QUIETLY. There is still not a single rattle anywhere in the car.It remains to be the finest Toyota I've ever owned. I continue to get 40.3 to 40.4 MPG!\ July 2023 update. Still the Yaris is trouble free. Just spent $800.00 on a new set of tires (Bridgestone), and I'm all set for another year of trouble-free driving. I'm still getting 40+/- mpg. This is a great little car and despite the oil dipstick design and that really odd-acting clutch, I still enjoy owning my Toyota Yaris. 2024 Update: Another trouble free year of driving my 2012 Yaris. I changed the oil every 3000 miles, used QT gas regularly, and my Toyota continues to serve my auto needs. The only repair I have made to this car since when I bought it brand new in Mobile, AL, is to replace the windshield wiper arm. I did that 3 years ago. January 2025 update. Still driving the Yaris daily, and still no problems,. The only maintenance I've ever done is change the oil every 3000 miles, and two years ago I had the winshield wiper linkage replaced because the sun had deteriorated the plastic/\.. Last year, I had my ORIGINAL brakes cleaned. NOT REPLACED. I was told I still have over 50% left on the brakes. The car was purchased in December 2012, and right now it has 110,000 miles on it. And it still looks brand new--shines like a new penny. July 2025: Still driving my Yaris, still lovin' it. Mileage has dropped to 39.6 MPG. The engine still runs nearly silent. Same clutch, same brakes, same everything under the hood. I bought a new set of floor mats two weeks ago. Figured after 115,000 miles, I needed a new set to get me started on the next 115,000 miles.

I was looking for a fuel efficient car for a two hour round trip commute to work. I went by word of mouth on Toyota's reliability, and bought this car from a rental company. It had 65,000 miles when I purchased it in 2015, and now has 252,000 miles. The only things that I have done to this car are routine oil changes. I've bought two set of new tires, and recently had the coolant flushed. This little car has been bulletproof so far. Gas mileage is great (about 40-42 MPG @ 65MPH highway driving). My average between town and highway is usually around 35-36 MPG. My favorite thing about this car is what my wife calls "tiny car parking". It will fit just about anywhere normal cars can't. The turn radius is my next favorite thing. You can almost do a u-turn in an alleyway. The interior is quite roomy for a small car...a lot better than I had expected. My only complaint is that the body is kind of cheap (plastic bumpers with plastic brackets) but that is most cars nowadays. Toyota has made a believer out of me.

I love my 2012 Yaris LE 2 door

I didn't like my 2010 Honda Fit 4 door because I felt crunched in the drivers side and looked at the 2012 Yaris and knew it was for me. I had a previous 2008 Toyota Yaris ( basic) traded it in for a 2010 Honda and now realized that I should have kept my old Honda fit, but realized that I have a great 2012 Toyota Yaris, which I will keep for many years.
