  • im sorry but that car is REALLY ugly

  • this car made me nauseous when carving twisty mountain roads. something about its drivetrain, steering, chassis dynamics. Never experienced that in any other car.

  • this is the car of the moment

  • I have a Yaris hatch and I love the damn thing. Why they aren't more popular is beyond me. The fuel economy versus price ratio makes it more economical than a Prius given what I paid for it.

  • As big as the Corolla and twice as ugly.

  • I prefer the Echo. They move better, were available with less options, and cheaper. Plus more unique and more storage spaces.

  • Vvt-I engine

  • The yaris my not be the greatest car in the world but it's great on gas and is projected to make it beyond 200,000 miles with little to no maintenance.

  • this seems harsh criticism but true, i own a 2008 toyota yaris, i love it, driving it is nice, altho i hate the cup holders and no where to put your stuff, and lacking some gadgets, other than that i love it, i will probably resale it after i finish school

  • @CaligirlSofia good thing the new Yaris has tons of hidden in-dash storage now. The cup holders and also better now.

  • gotta love the timing chain on these little car.

  • why are toyota yairs so reliable? Why are toyotas in genral so reliable? What do they do that American Manufacting doesnt?

  • @nickelwindow53 i dont get it either hope someone can answer this question hah

  • @Lonewalker321 Me too, but I love my yaris! I hope someone can anwser this.

  • my lovely car !!!

  • Toyota Yaris's are terribly underequipped for the money. Compare this to a Honda Fit for value. Or even, dare I say it, Chevrolet Aveo?

  • @talldude123

    Do you know how reliable this car is? A chevy Aveo is possibly the shittest car on the road for dependability.

    Yes, it may be pricier than a comparable fit or a Aveo but man, its FUCKING durable

  • @ToyotaforCorolla Well, compare it to a Honda Fit then. Nothing beats a Honda Fit for value and gas mileage. Honda Fit even beat the Prius for fuel economy!

  • @talldude123

    No, the Fit doesn't. Official ratings for the Fit is 31mpg combined, the Prius gets 50. Get your facts straight. Nonetheless, the Fit is still good compared to Yaris.

  • @AppleMacBookAir2 Hmm, I drive my Fit very lightly and slowly, to maximize fuel efficiency. Costs me $30 per tank (300 miles per tank) so I'm not complaining.

  • @talldude123

    I'm not saying the fit isn't fuel efficient, I'm saying that the Prius is probably more fuel efficient than the fit.

  • @talldude123 I gotta agree with the Honda Fit/Jazz but it's pricier than the Yaris... but the Aveo??? no man.... Chevy Aveo/Daewoo shit. sorry man i just have to put it that way... cheers!

  • @truknayr23 See I'm the opposite. I rode in a friend's Chevrolet Aveo, base model, and it wasn't as bad as people say. He was getting great mileage, the ride was smooth, and it had a decent amount of power for the city. I've rode in the Yaris, it looks and feels cheap inside. I can't say about the power or not though.

  • @talldude123 aaahh... i see... but i did not mean any of those about the aveo... what we most complain about based on experience is the... 1.dependability and durability, which is the most important thing of all in a car. 2.service and maintenace is quite a bother. i had friends who got the aveo and the chevvy spark because they were better looking both outside and inside compared to their respective rivals and they discovered that the Daewoo quality is very noticeable. Cheers!

  • [L]

  • LA Mega Yaris

  • buy base yaris cheap. buy Hawk brake pads, performance tires, and Tein Springs.

  • i'm going to take a yaris soon..it look boring and not good as american car but as many people said ,reliable....i come to US for half of year and really impressed with american car,but not reliable....now i understand why chrysler,gm,chev is down....and toyota become number 1.when 'm rich , i will think a about american car cause it will cost you great damn $ to fix .....

  • @dkinghl Ohoho, you should check out European.

  • I just bought a yaris.... I always wanted a Toyota cuz my family lives by them that they are dependable good cars that last you a life time. The only one I could afford out of the toyota family was the Yaris even though I really wanted a Corolla, and I was wondering did I get a good car that will last me a long time as well as did I make a good investment?

  • wow, 17k?

    just buy a Mazda 3 for that much - its faster, stronger, and just better overall.

  • Echoooo

  • i have this exact same car (only it's charcoal) and i must admit at first i didn't like it that much. I still dont like it that much, but it is a good car, it does what it's supposed to do and it doesn't even eat petrol (exaggeration). For the price my parents paid for it it's not worth it but it's a good lil car.

  • that aint a yaris !!! thats a toyota belta

  • 17000 for that?! You could get a Mazda 3 for that much!

  • @giantenemycrabX

    I got an 08 Speed 3 for $15,300. 2.3L Turbo, 263hp 280 ft/b torque!

  • i just bought one, i know toyota have had the recalls and shit but to me i see it as a advantage. toyota has a fix PLUS they are putting down GREAT offers... so i bought one for so cheap! love my new yaris

  • The manufacturing site of this car is in Japan & Thailand.

  • This car is also known as Toyota Belta in Japan & Toyota Vios in Southeast Asia.

  • i have this car ahaha

  • I own a 2010 sedan and the only thing I actually agree with them on is the cup holders being too short. they are very well placed, but certainly can't hold a cup securely. the car scoots just fine with the small engine, and the handling is actually the best I tested. the feature I love MOST OF ALL though, is the VSC can be turned completely off!!!

  • yaris shorter than this belta ( or vios ) ....

  • This review sucks ass!

  • isn't this a separate model from the yaris hatch, or is this just another body style?

  • people that dont like toyotas are dumb hear DUMB they last longer than any car including lexus

  • you..do..realize..that..lexus.­.is owned by lexus right..lexus is the same thing as toyota except the interior materials are better/fit and finish..

  • @marib2006 not reeally,toyota engineers r stupid,they cant make a right seating position in yaris,corolla,camry while Lexus r more rgonomic

  • @fastguyforever27 this comment is funny being that Toyota and Lexus are the SAME company. btw i know this is old but I just had to comment!!

  • lol coolerdude44 i dont understand you, you hate toyota but you keep commenting on this page lmao and whats not to like about them they are reliable more than your favorite american brands a lot of cars that do stand out like sporty cars have Mazda and blah blah are usually the 1z everyone has the a lot of problems with so really at the end of the day at least you don't have to worry as much as having a ford and getting stuck on the road

  • "...0-60 in 10.5 seconds. Again, average for a subcompact sedan" Buuuutttt. it's an automatic!!! the automatic Yaris' have very slow off-the-line acceleration...

  • when was the last time toyota made a truly good car? i mean when was the last time toyota made a standout car that was actually acceptable or exceptional to drive? not since the celica... COME ON TOYOTA, YOU'RE THE FUCKING BIGGEST CAR MAKER IN THE WORLD, BUILD CARS WE ACTUALLY WANT!

  • i got no problem with my yaris..stop complaining ok?..you can buy other car makes if you want to..or you can build your own car, one that meets your expectations..

  • that's my point. their cars are boring. they don't do anything wrong, and owners have no technical problems, but i can't think of one (besides the land cruiser) that really shines out from the crowd, can you?

  • Why do you talk if you cant even afford to buy a Toyota yourself?

  • why do you assume i can't afford a toyota? and explain to me which toyota does something that none of the other cars in it's class does. which one handles the best, is cheapest, most powerful, etc. every single one of their cars are just average, and nothing more.

    in fact, i'm on vacation now in LA and i'm renting a highlander. both remotes are broken for it, there's a severe wind leak, an air vent fell out, and the dome light doesn't work. it also sounds like it's on 5 cylinders.

  • and, it only has 20,000 miles. i'm sorry, but this means that toyotas (or at least toyotas designed by americans, like the highlander) aren't built with anymore quality than anyone else either if after 20,000 miles of shuffling kids and their luggage around it has all those problems.

    so please explain to me why toyota's are appealing, because i just don't get it.

  • Have you seen the 2000sr or the ft-hs hybrid?

  • lol.

  • I have a 2007 Yaris and it is the best car I have ever had. I love it!

  • roughbondage, what do you like about your Yaris. I also heard that the 2007 Yaris doesn't go beyond 38 or 40 on the expressway, have you found that to be true???

  • I <3 my 2007 Yaris - I wouldn't trade it for anything.

  • at least this car is better than my 2009 corolla !

  • KPKonliner, in what ways is the 2007 Yaris better than your 2009 Corolla?? Looks or other value? I ask because I am highly considering a 2007 Yaris.

  • The Corolla is better.

  • Meh, i got one myself for 11,000 and has almost everything automatic. its a 2008, but I'm still wondering how it will handle through the months.

  • My daughter bought a diesel Yaris 6 years ago and has done nearly 100,000 miles in it.

    Absolutely trouble free,origonal battery,alternator,exhaust etc.

    Brilliant car.

  • diesel?!? i thought the yaris only options is gasoline?? how many litre is the engine??

  • 1.4 D4D.

  • thats pretty small for a diesel engine! how often do u have to go to the gas station????

  • It's a small car. They might not be available in the U.S.

    They can achieve up to 60m.p.g.

    I am in Scotland.

  • right, ur in europe... wow 60mpg!!

  • We have a lot of diesel cars here because fuel is so expensive and the diesel engine is 30% more efficient than the corresponding gasoline engine

  • really?!?1 how many euros per litre???

  • About 1 pound sterling which is roughly 70 euros.

  • wtf?!?!! dude thats a rip off!!! i use to fill in my gas once a week at that price!!!

  • I know....80% goes to the government in tax.

  • yeah, who doesn't hate the shitty government??!!

  • Would like to drive one with the Blitz supercharger on it.... and of course... lighten it a little bit. LOL! 2000lbs 130whp... that would be ok.

  • u think yaris is like a boyish or girlish car X.X?

  • Heh well if you happen to get your hands on it, the chicks will love you for it. Its a good commuter car, thats about it. Would I buy one? Never, unless a friend or someone gave it to me for a price i couldn't turn down.

  • no it's not a really good commuter car as it's not comfortable

  • Well, if you think that price tag is a littlee bit too much, turn to scion xd and maybe you'll like it. cruise ctrl, pwr window and door lock, pioneer audio head unit, and many more comes as STANDARD with MSRP price of only 15,290.... (Don't forget that scion is Toyota's subdivision company, so it's reliability is the same as Toyota's)

  • 106 HP???? my vacuum cleaner has more than that

  • i got a yaris for my birthday and i love it....theres nothing wrong with anything at all

  • I recently got a Yaris too, and I agree, it's a great small car, and I don't find anything wrong with it, either. I got the stripped down 4-door hatchback version, with no power anything, for just under $14,000. I don't see the point of getting this car with the power package and paying $17,000 for it, as shown in this video. That messes up the price advantage. Because the car is so small, it's not hard to operate the crank windows, even when you're driving.

  • @MindyMystique

    Thats because it doesnt have anything.

  • @MindyMystique i have a big ugly penis

  • in indonesia known as vios just like in other country in south east asia

  • In australia

    Hatcback Yaris

    Sedan Yaris which is the VIOS

  • its our vios in the philippines

  • get a mazda 3 or a civic @ that price

  • u can get one decently packaged for about 15,500...any more then that..and yeah ur better off with civic or mazda 3...i totally agree...

  • i love my yaris!!! i always brag about the fuel economy. i know its not the fastest car in the world but when it comes to road trips i love it. i hope to someday do something cool to my car but until then ill leave it like it is.

  • I was interested in this until I found my 92HP Mirage goes 0-60 in 8.7 compared with this POS @ 10.4

  • @carmgn56 :Fuck you looser...

  • why would some1 buy a top of the line yaris...or top of the line corolla with leather seats and moon roof ....I"m not sure about moon roof but I'm sure I've seen leather corollas......

  • ppl shouldnt be complaining about the yaris i mean its a cheap car wut can u expect ppl shouldnt be complining about this car be cuz its so cheap, u cant just have leather seats and all that for 17 grand any way if u want more power in the yaris put a turbo in it the hourse power will go up to 180 and since the car is so light it would fly lik a rocket i love my yaris !

  • If imitation is a sincerest form of flattery, the current Volkswagen Jetta was actually whether intentionally or not can almost pass as the 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla in terms of strong design similarities and both belong to the competing crowded compact class and very much identical in size. Now, Toyota is returning the favor, they are now trying to have a similar rendition of the current Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit. That rendition is the 2007 to current Toyota Yaris in both 3 & 5 door hatchback.

  • sweet! lol

  • I own an 08 Yaris Sedan and it is a great car.

    The only complaint these people had was about the bloody cup holders....It is quiet and fun to drive and using my Scanguage I have determined that I get 50+MPG....This car is highly under rated....cheers

  • You dont like the cup holders are you crazy. They are placed infrom of vents keeps my drinks cool and the center vents keep me cool. and honestly who make a big enough cup holder these days

  • this car is DAMN ugly!

  • the hatch versions are ugly, but the sedans have nice curves in the frame and bumpers although the back bumper a little too high.

  • this coming from a Fast and Furious Tokyo fan

  • ts a vios in the philippines. we have a 1300 and a 1500 variants.

  • My gf has this car and the only problem with it is that when you drive it to 100 km 5th gear the rpm will be at 3000 which is very high.

  • idk if i like that instrument cluster in the center of the car.

  • i would rather have a vitz

  • why would you rather have a Vitz? because it's JDM?? want to know something? anything JDM got played out. Drifting is gay too. and Silvia's are gay. wanna know why? because all the posers copied. and all the posers have JDM cars now. the only thing left that is still cool about JDM is my screen name. I have a Toyota Yaris, and I am keeping the stock emblems. I'm not going to put any Vitz emblems on it because all the homo's put Vitz emblems on their Yaris. don't be a poser. do your own thing.

  • not being a poser.I live in japan.The vitz is turbo in japan.I also hate rebadging of cars.The us does it too much.Just keep the same name dammit.Example 240sx is 180sx in jap n acura is HONDA all acuras.Infinity is nissan.Well to each is own

  • forgot i was on my wife's youtube account.But if u want to keep ur badge thats u.Just keep your car clean man.Comment bout silvias lol got rid of my R33 for a sil80 LOL

  • HAHA, "TOp of the Line?" Dear god.

  • Sorry, Stuwip839. They don't offer a tampon dispenser.

  • CUP HOLDER isn't good, LMAO, thats so fucking american xD

  • My Yaris gets 45 mpg! After 27k miles this is what it has averaged, keeping track of every drop of gas and every mile. Of course they don't mention that in the review of an economy car, they talk about performance handling instead.

  • Because a Mini Cooper can also get 45 mpg. But, unlike the poorly built Yaris, it's performance and handling are excellent.

  • this car is a very fuel efficient car!

  • i have a 2008 yaris and it was a big change in space from my 98 buick century sucks it doesnt have cruise control like my 1989 honda prelude si 2.0

  • hehe i

  • wow huh LOL . chck out my profile for more vids. N

  • "Toyota has dropped the ball - the cupholders are too small". Good grief. What about the popcorn tray? Or the handgun compartment? Only in the US.

  • true that. I reckon it should come with a gun safe in australia, just in case you need a shotty if someone cuts you off.

  • I love my Golf GTI...I think all these new "green" cars like Yaris copied the Golf orignal design which still looks timeless till this day.

  • i have this car i like it soo mush

    but the engin is slight loud inside

  • I love my 07 yaris hatchback

  • ..anyway I love my Yaris. Interior layout is ingenious, utilisation of space is great, plenty of power and space. Road holding is confident and I think the ride is disciplined and smooth. Looks great too. Steering could be more involving but there is far worse out there!

  • The knobs controlling the heater / air conditioning / environmental system seem to be very cheaply made. It's not big deal, but they feel flimsy.

    The Toyota Yaris warranty is absolutely miserable! 3 years or 30,000 miles is still a brand-new car and it sucks that they don't offer the 100,000 mile warranty that is becoming more popular these days. They seem to be banking entirely on the fact that the company has developed a false-positive reputation for reliability.

  • The Toyota was never good at designing their cars to look timeless....come this car looks like a giant egg....5 years from you can tell this car was from 2007...

  • i gree the japannese really are not good at looks, the ones that llok good ware ussualy copies of european cars but hteya have quality.

  • If Toyota would just redesign the front end of both the hatchback and sedan as well as the dashboard design and put the gauges where they should be, in front of the driver, I might actually like this car enough to want one. But something that looks like an alien fish in my rearview mirror with a cheap and ugly looking dashboard is not appealing to me. I would much rather have a Honda Fit. At least it looks sporty and fun and the interior looks a millions times better in quality.

  • I wonder if my huge steroid body would fit in this lil car!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This car is only good for girly men!! STEROIDS HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE and now i cant fit in puny cars!!!

  • Modest too. Coming from someone that has actually sat in it I would say by looking at you yes you would fit in there, my 6 foot well built brother fits in my Yaris fine, just as well if not better than so some larger cars I have driven. Steriods can also cause severe mood swings and aggression problems too can't they?

  • Steriod guy this car is not small, just because it doesn't have a long boot attached to the cabin like a sedan doesn't mean its passenger space is limited. Far from it. Don't knock small car owners and their masculinity. They used INTELLIGENCE in their decision such as runnings costs, not ego and perceived masculinity. Chivalrous gentlemen don't need a big car. As the saying goes, the biggest mouths have the smallest minds

  • nice little vehicle

  • yaris is very good on gas mileage. around 29 mpg city and around 35 mpg hw. I like it cuz of that, but i got my boys in the shop to fix up the interior by putting power windows and locks, and making the cup holders much better, for FREE, cuz they my family haha

  • i hate russia, in america starting price 13000$, in russia 20000$, but in my work, I get only 600-700$ per month.

    I need to go in america and buy this car :)

  • in mexico! all cars are more expensive.

    Altima Base model 20k USD --- Altima Base model 25k USD (mexico)

    All cars in mexico are between 5,000 and 10,000 dolars more expensive.. and the people have less money

    the honda civic base in mexico is around 20k USD!!!! thats insane

  • redneck.

  • Aveo is one of the worst subcompacts on the market. Focus isn't even in the same class.

  • the aveo sucks, you cant even compare it to this car. the yaris beats the aveo in every possible way.

  • I just bought a Yaris, never got anything like 47mpg, but after driving from chicago to NY, I got a consistent 37mpg.

    I liked the handling, steering was pretty responsive, acceleration definitely needed creative manual shifting for necessary pickup, top speed was just fine at 95mph.

    Though a small car on the outside, the interior has more driver/passenger room than most regular compacts.Biggest complaints - lousy dashboard layout and no power anything.

    I am looking for after market upgrades.

  • It all depends on how much you want to pay. If you want a bigger, heavier and faster car, then get used to signing over your paycheque to the gas station! You don't need much more than this for most daily commutes and it beats taking the bus!

  • I like the look of the Toyota Auris, but they don't make'em for North America...shieeeeet

  • Yes but let's see how many miles per gallon its numerous competitors can offer. The diesel Yaris (not available in the US only Japan) gets over 60 mpg in a car that is under $15000. Too cool!

  • This is going to be my future car. I have an elantra gt. I just dont understand all the bashing of these kind of cars here in the USA.

    I guess they dont mind the petrol(gas) payments being higher than their car payments. I payed 4dollars for regular today in tampa.Just wait till hurricane season starts and it hits 5dollars a gallon in USA.

  • 17k for a yaris? screw that and get the Corolla S. A friend of mine got his for 18k and the corolla S looks far better than the yaris

  • I wouldn't mind a Yaris if it was more like a mini Corolla. The rear styling looks cool, but the front is just goofy looking. The same goes for the interior. Its just haphazard.

    There should also be a performance optional. The Corolla XRS has the Camry's 2.4L, why can't there be a Yaris XRS with the Corolla's 1.8L? With the Yaris' nimble weight, 132 HP would go a long way, plus it wouldn't sacrafice fuel efficiency considering the much heavier 2800 lbs Corolla gets 27/35 MPG.

  • i love this car!!

  • thats a yucky car

  • I know how to pay just .06 per gallon of gas -- but you must search for that video in my stash _ ".06 PER GALLON" and it should come up # 1 - Bull sh*t you say -- OK I know I can -- and you just lost out you fool

  • Manual transmission will make this car a second faster and a thousand $ cheaper.

  • Best highway run was 48mpg, top speed - 185km/h fully loaded with the air on (felt light though) I own one, sell them & love them!

  • dirtyJAPANSE if you hate USA so much then WHY ARE YOU ON YOUTUBE USA CREATED YOUTUBE.

  • WTF is wrong with people on youtube? this is an Edmunds car review, not a political forum. Go flame on AIM

  • In S.E.Asia it's known as Toyota Vios...and it's ugly....I would rather buy Toyota Yaris Hatchback.

  • I'd rather the Yaris sedan. the hatchback is hideous

  • make sure you get a standard not auto.

  • the autos are just as good, and they're better in city traffic

  • I dunno bro, I kinda wish I bought a standard now...

    But its still a flippin great car.

  • this car is for the first time car buyers. Most of whom dont know how to drive a stick shift here in USA.

  • these people are stupid, yaris if its a stick its fast considering the size of the engin, its awesome on gas and looks great too and is cheap. i had it up to 180kmph on the highway andwas smooth.

  • Wow thas nice, do you get allot of road noise? how about engine noise?

  • not really on both sides. when you DO hear the engine, it sounds real nice

  • This "review" bares no relationship to reality. I've got a Yaris II zinc 1.3 and its superb. also $17k = about £8.5k, that ain't a lot for a fully loaded car so stop complaining.

  • that was a shitty review, but yeah, the base model with some options for 13-13.5k is a way better deal than the s model for 17k.

  • I would never pay 17,000 for this thing

  • the base model is little less then $12,000 U.S.

  • I thought the fully loaded Yaris were close to $17,000...I would pay 12 for the hatchback

  • yeah the fully loaded, but without all the fancy stuff the car itself is 11,300
