I didn't expect this new Yaris 1.4 D-4D to be so good. It behaves well and does everything nicely. The handling is solid and fool proof. The thing brakes well with a nice pedal feel. The Toyota build quality is preceded by its reputation which it does honour. I quite like the futuristic virtual dashboard, although the rev counter readability could be improved in my opinion. Then we come to the engine: a 1.4 diesel. I know this engine from the Mini One D first generation where it produced a sluggish 75bhp. The evolved engine in the Yaris is a day and night difference from what I can recollect from the Mini. It's lively, powerful in the low & mid range and actually revs up without stepping on its breath too soon. I didn't feel underpowered at all. Very well done Toyota!

The Toyota Yaris is one of the more common Japanese cars I drive at work, fortunately it is a good one. The Yaris hatch and sedan both drive exactly the same, their only differences are size, options and practicality. The sedan is longer but has no equipment in base form. The hatch is shorter in length, the 3-door is also poorly equipped but the 5-door is well equipped. The Yaris is a surprising car from Toyota, its a fun car to drive from a company normally slammed for producing boring cars. The Yaris handles quite well and is fun despite its slightly overboosted power steering. Fuel economy on this car is excellent, most efficient car I drive at work. Power is really its biggest weak point on performance, the 106 hp engine does move it well in city speeds but is lacking on higher speed highways. Interior on the Yaris could be better. Its not the nicest interior but its also not the worst in its class. Both Yarises have good interior spacing for passengers despite being small. The dash indicators are all located in the center, this does disturb some people. Overall you get what you paid for, one of the most economical cars on the market that happens to be fun with a good badge.

It took me a lot of time to decide on a car. One thing I wanted was great gas mileage. I finally decided on the Toyota Yaris. It is the perfect car for me. For a small car it is extremely roomy and has a large trunk. The performance is more than I expected and I average 38 MPG. It took a little while to get use to the dash controls being in the center of the dash instead of over the steering wheel but that is okay now. It I had to do it again I would buy the Yaris...Toyota quality cannot be beat!

My car has been specialized to my needs so I have no complaints! It is very fuel efficient which is important especially right now with the price of gas!! It handles well even in the winter and I like the look and cut. I have the sedan so it is very roomy...I can even fit my bike in the trunk and close it (the front wheel comes off of my bike) also the back seats are comfortable even for long trips! enough leg room :)

This car had power locks.air , decent stereo. Standard. Gets 36 to 39mpg on highway. only had 11,000 miles on it. didn't love the color red. handles well. has enough power.
