2006 Toyota Yaris Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Considering the 1.0 engine, when A/C is off, it's sprinty and reactive, great brakes with ABS. It has, by the way, 5 golden star at crash testes, with her 9 airbags. The handling is good until you drive safely; with the "fast and furious" style you can lose some grip in the back if you nail down the brakes and if you are too compliant with the steer. Build quality is good, everything it's at its place with no strange noises; i would not give 5 star to it though.. I love this car's appearance, when i park near a glass wall, i see her nice face mirrored and i love it. The mileage is very good with a declared 20km per liter on highways. I remeber the first time i put the gas on it: 30 euros was enough to half-fill the tank, and do more than 350 km. When the gas range says you have 0 kilometers left to do with the gas left, you can still walk a LONG way before the R appears, and this is a GOOD thing lol. About the driving fun, considering it's just a 1.0, it can be very funny indeed, reactive and sprinty as soon as you put the pedal down.. About the reliability, it's a Toyota, what more do i have to say? Last but not list, she has a GREAT sound.Sep 17, 2009

Awesome little city car. Zippy, solid, stylish, crazy cheap on gas, and unique. I find my Yaris to be very easy to drive. The electric steering is silky smooth. Lane changes are effortless. It jumps into passing gear with ease when you put your foot down. Best of all is how short it is. I can parallel park in the tinyiest spaces. Really short turning circle too(Quick U-turns0. Really roomy inside for such a small car too. Great value and time tested Toyota quality. Dec 14, 2008

Very comfortable for town, large interior space, very manoeuvre, stable, have a lot of contemporary systems, 9 airbags, low fuel consumption, the brakes are...amazing! Very easy for driving, steering-wheel is so gratifying. It has a great design, i've put a spoiler and that's why has a sport vision. Stable on the turns and on bad roads- like ice, mud and rain.

it goes from 0 to 100 in 11.3 sec,this is very good for a 1300 cc and 87 hp.it's steering wheel is so light,it's interior is very simple.it's really fun to drive because it's really stable contrary to what many say.the car got to the speed 198 when we were 5 in the car and the air conditioner was set to 3,of course that much weight makes the car harder to accelerate in addition to the air conditioner.it has a big trunk and very comfortable and wide from the insideSep 11, 2008

Nimble, light, sips gas like a fine wine and costs next to nothing to run. Good lord is it slow though (1.0L engine), but this was never meant to be a performance machine. It's fantastic as a small city car, it even has a lot of space in the back if you put the sets down, but it is very rough on open roads. I'd recommend it to anyone as a cheap and cheerful point-A-to-point-B car.Aug 13, 2008
