2020 Toyota Yaris Review

Name: 2020 Toyota Yaris
Brand: Toyota
Price: 12802 USD

Price Estimate: $12,802 - $15,350

The 2020 Toyota Yaris is a solid little sedan with surprisingly good handling chops, a nice-looking interior and usable trunk. But it compromises a bit of comfort for those performance gains, and it doesn't have the feature availibility you can find in some competitors. This is a fun city runabout with good value.

Awesome car with an awesome price tag!

2019 Toyota Yaris LE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 6M)

After owning the car for a little over a month, I’m an extremely pleased I went with the Yaris over a Chevy Sonic. I am a huge stickler when it comes to a feeling of quality, and this little car does just that. The interior is trimmed out very nicely for a subcompact. Nothing feels cheap, although the center console is a little flimsy. Even the hard plastics feel nice to the touch, and …

2019 Toyota Yaris L 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 6M)

Before I had this car I drove a 2019 civic Si but got in to an accident and had to replace it. I wanted something cheaper and new so I looked between the 2019 corolla, civic coupe, Honda Fit and the yaris sedan. To me the yaris was the best overall bang for the buck especially since I didn’t really care about the apple/android CarPlay since I bought a $20 car mount and slapped it on …

2019 Toyota Yaris LE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 6A)

Fantastic gas mileage, stylish looks, fun to drive. Loads of standard features. I drive mostly in town and under 40 mph. It is a perfect car for metro driving. You get what you pay for. Toyota hit a home run with a 35-40 mpg sedan. L.E. model is sweet. No regrets.

2019 Toyota Yaris LE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 6M)

I thought I'd like the Yaris (Mazda2) but four years later, I LOVE it. It reminds me of my Mini Cooper in the joy of driving, but it's quieter and handles the bad roads more forgivingly. The engine is low on overt power but the car really moves fast where I need it, like around town off a dead stop due to its super light weight and great transmission (automatic). I've had no trouble …

Safety

Our experts like the Yaris models:

Low-Speed Pre-Collision System: Warns you of obstacles ahead and automatically brakes if necessary. Works only at lower speeds.
Dynamic Stability Control: Senses when the car is losing traction or control and uses various means to get you straight again.
Brake Assist: Recognizes when you're initiating a panic stop and fully engages the brakes to provide maximum stopping power.
