Very reliable and efficient. Wish it had 4 doors.

The yaris is the perfect city car. Make sure you get four doors with the hatch though, since 2 is just awkward to get into the backseat.

AWESOME LITTLE CAR!

I bought this little car to travel to work, it has not let me down! I purchased it with 135,000 miles and it is currently at 154,000 miles and runs like a top. The gas mileage is excellent and it is surprisingly peppy for for such a little car.

Great reliability and value.

Although not the smoothest ride nor the best interior design, this car is reliable as the day is long and is a great value for your money. Good gas mileage, too.

I used to drive Yaris for 4 years

Toyota Yaris is the best car that you can buy for that cheap price and really rely on it. I drove it for 4 years and never had any problems with it. I just used to change breaks and oil, notin other than those two.

Excellent Car for getting from point A to B

I'm the 2nd owner of this vehicle since 2009 and have done little more than buy new tires, batt, brakes and have the airbag recall done on it. It doesn't have the most power for highway driving and isn't the most comfortable ride...but for getting to work day in and day out it can't be beat!

Most reliable car I've ever owned

Great entry level car. Used it for commuting for 7 years. Only replaced battery and tires. Cheap to maintain and drive @ about 35 MPG.

Car review

I really like this car. My daughter is petite and this car suits her and myself. We no longer need a pillow to sit on, a plus! We just have to become familiar with the dash being located in the center. Gas efficient, a plus!

Pleasant Commute

A great, well-designed little car. Very comfortable for me (I'm 6'2", 220#) with more headroom than my Dad's minivan and more knee room than my friend's Mazda 3. As a tall person who usually finds the steering wheel partially blocking the speedometer, I actually found the center-mount speedo an improvement. Have driven the car through Wyoming blizzards and ugly urban commutes and found it pleasant, sturdy and nimble. It also holds a lot, like me, my 2-man crew, 2 tool boxes, & 25 gallons of paint (never thought the Yaris would muscle in on my pick-up!). Best mileage I've had was 42mpg on a run between S.F. and Reno.
