I bought this car a week ago to replace a 2007 Kia Rio sedan. First positive impressions: nice dark grey color and body style, motor sounds better and back passenger spaces is roomier than some other economy cars test driven. Initial negative impressions: Speedometer only indicates 20-40-60 with numerical markings, 10-30-50 with hashes, and no markings at all on the fives. The side mirrors are so small and poorly shaped that if they are the slightest bit out of adjustment (or if the driver leans forward an inch) rear view is severely compromised which is made worse by the fact that the center rear view is mostly blocked by huge back seat head rests. In the Molded Places to Put Stuff category, the Yaris is an utter failure. The glove box barely holds the owners manual (and doesn't lock), the cup holders...well, take your pick--you can have two sixteen-ounce water bottles, or you can have one foam cup, or you can have a phone charger in the socket above the cup holder. Other seemingly random misshapen pits--two above the glove box, one to the left of the instrument panel, and one behind the cup holder--have proven as useless as they appear to be. The single front wiper is annoying in the beginning but doesn't seem so bad after a few rains. Despite these shortcomings which were apparent during the test drive, I chose the car for reputed reliability, price, and MPG. After 400 miles of mostly city driving I've found a few more things to like and even love. It handles well. The cargo capacity utterly amazed on a trip to the local wholesale club. We bought the usual list and the kids did not have to ride home with their feet resting on a bag of cat food or case of V-8 and assorted bags and trays piled high on their laps as before in the Rio, and there was spare room for a few more cases of water. The worst of the worst so far is that at least this particular Yaris isn't living up to its MPG rating. Not even close. As a semi-dedicated hypermiler, I usually got a little better than the Rio was rated at, even with the A/C running and even after 100,000 miles. Between the first and second fill-ups this car averaged a very disappointing 26.6 MPG. Would I choose something else knowing what I know today? Yeah, maybe.

Little city sprinter!

I went from a '95 Infiniti j30t to a '15 Yaris. Two totally different creatures, both loveable in different ways. The second I test drove this car I fell in love with the nimble short city sprints, easy hairpin turns and fun compactness. The yaris has a sporty suspension that keeps you engaged with the road, and helps to handle rougher roads without bumping the front or rear ends on heavy dips. The factory Toyota sound system and speakers are great, giving a truly premium experience without charging extra. I was very happy with the easy to navigate infotainment system, which always connected quickly to my devices. Can't overstate the handiness of the knobs/buttons for all the controls too, for simplicity of use in traffic. I was always able to fit tons of stuff in the cargo area, with or without seats down. Not quite as spacious as the honda fit, but suitable for most cargo! Was able to handle 4 people's luggage on a long road trip no problem. Saved a ton of gas as well! While the tank was very small and needed to be filled often, I would still get great mileage! Main complaints are the lack of center armrest console, and extreme difficulty getting up to freeway speeds/ going up hills. For sure, its best life is lived in the city where it can fit into any parking spot, handle quick sprints and hard stops, and find a quick gas station in a pinch. Would have been happy with the yaris forever if my commute didn't change to a freeway route.

The turning radius is worse that the older 2008 modle and the took away all the cupholders that were on the side on the font dash. And i live on a road with a bad hill thats dirt and gravel and one night me and my mom tried the hill and it was snowing and we couldnt get up the hill because the car shut itself off because once you hit the max for your power the car shuts itself off completly and we could have gotten in a bad accident because of it. The good i like how it handles without snow and i like the touchacreen and hands free calling thats pretty cool. Oh almost forgot im a pretty tall guy i cant see out the rearview mirror because it was made what i think for short people and i have to turn the mirror all the way up and flip it up on that just to see out the back with it. Its just not my favourite car not even close.
