2013 Toyota Yaris L 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
4 of 6 people found this review helpful
I bought a 2 year old certified 2013 Yaris L (hatchback) with 25k miles and used it for 3 and half years (67k miles). 4 Adults can sit comfortably. Engine makes huge noise when ever driven over 75 miles per hour. It can carry very less cargo and does not have enough power to accelerate. Fuel efficiency is 34-35 on highway and 29-30 in city. Very less maintenance. Infact I only had to change the tires and brakes and rotors (rear drum brakes) for this. I drove it in Michigan winters and snow with both all-season and winter tires and did not see much of a difference. In snow, it does skid quite a bit, remember it is not a 4 wheel drive. Trim level L comes with non-power windows, no cruise control, no remote start, bluetooth. Reliability and value are top notch. Performance is not so great.

Avoid stick shift with size 12 shoes

2012 Toyota Yaris L 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)

If you rest your shoe on the L model's dead pedal, it constantly gets caught under the clutch pedal, and you end up having to hover that foot above the clutch when you anticipate a gear change soon. The gear shift feels very crude and notchy. Stick shift does yield more zoom-zoom over automatic, but the LE model with automatic shift and more creature comforts - such as power windows - will make your drive more enjoyable. I had an LE model in 2006 which easily survived being T-boned in the driver door by pickup truck, and I traded it for a VW Rabbit. My 2012 L stick easily yielded 32 mpg in short city drives, but after 5 months I'm dumping it for a great Mazda3 iTouring hatch.

I had the 2012 Toyota Yaris 4-door hatchback from 2014 to 2019 and absolutely loved it. I only traded it in because I had a baby and needed more space — otherwise, I would’ve kept it. I got it to 150,000 miles with ease, and it never let me down. The car was incredibly reliable the entire time I had it. I drove a ton, and it only ever needed regular maintenance and a new muffler toward the very end. Yes, space is limited — that’s the only real con — but it’s more than enough for a single person or even a couple who want something efficient and dependable. It was easy to park, fun to drive, and the gas mileage was amazing. Still miss that little car to this day. It was a true gem. 💙

I will never own another Toyota after driving this piece of road noise for 8 years! You can feel every little bump or even pieces of gravel through the steering wheel. I hit a mouse one night, I know I hit it because the steering wheel transferred the squish to my fingers... gross. I hate this car... just so so mileage.
