News about the 2012 model: Speedometer is behind the steering wheel, not on the center of the dash. The new car gets an exterior, more masculine makeover.
@richieasian Toyota yaris is for people that can't afford a civic. This car is in the same class as the chevy Aveo and if you compare these two cars, the yaris is better.
I checked out the Yaris hatchback but couldn't find one with cruise control and hated the way they put the odometer in the middle of the dash! I ended up buying a Honda Fit after I fell in love with it's Magic Seat! I can fit my bike, luggage, surf board (if i owned one) and sleep comfortably overnight in the Fit. I would recommend checking out the Honda Fit first before the Yaris...although if gas mileage is your only concern, you can't really go wrong with either :)
The Yaris is an affordable, fuel efficiency car and I generally like the design, but what the hell is with the dashboard placement? Also, it's incredibly barebones.
The Honda Fit is an excellent choice, but it has a much higher MSRP. For its price range, I think you can get the Ford Fiesta, which reviews says offer a great ride with excellent built-in tech all while getting 32 combined MPG.
i dont think u need 2 worry 2 much about power. on public roads, ull never reach a cars' limit anyway. and i dont think ur gonna take a toyota yaris 2 a track either
i'm tired of dumbasses acting like just because a car is small it struggles to go fast. i just took a 5 hour trip in my automatic yaris sedan with the cruise set at about 78 mph and i still attained 37 mpg.
the car will easily get up to 118 mph before the governor kicks in.
Well, I have small feet and my foot also touches the gas and break pedal at the same time, since they are too close to one another. And the gas pedal is way too far to the right, making my foot touch the carpet hump and the same time as I press the gas pedal. Toyota should add an extra half inch between pedals and that hump to the right.
@lukie117 My brother is 6 foot and almost the same weight as you. His shoe size is only a 10. He drives a Yaris comfortably. Even if you can't test drive the car, you can at least sit in the car and try the car on for size.
I test drove one of these and had a different gas pedal complaint. It's designed for people with small feet. I couldn't depress the accelerator without my foot touching the brake pedal AND the carpeted shifter hump or whatever you want to call that.
american took advantage of destroying toyotas reputation for a pedal, which toyota took blame and they fixed it. The engine is still reliable. Every car has recalls.. but since toyota is known for good sales and was winning over new car owners. "America" decided to make it worse than it really was. America was loosing sells with gmc and ford. Now since the recall crap. Ford sales has sky rocketed. hmm. ???
Ultimately, it doesn't change much because Toyota will always be a quality brand and a top seller, but it does get aggravating to see the hypocrisy. Me? Personally, I used to recall a company which released a car famous for exploding due to a faulty gas tank.
I'll give a hint as to what company it is -- It is the same company that recently had to recall over a million vehicles due to a faulty gas tank issue again.
I know!! But here in europe we dont get the sedan ... so I quess you know what am I driving and how do I feel... well there are worse cars, right? lol
Anyone interested in this vehical needs to watch the crash testing footage. What a joke. If you plan on buying this car you better get some good life insurance. If you are caught in a accident you are sure to be killed.
got 13 yo toyota revo...only go to the shop for filter and oil and tire change...a friend working at a n.carolina ford dealership was amazed how smooth it still run...love fords as well...everest
dont buy the 3-door hatchback, it's not durable and if you crash..you are sure dead. it's too small and cramped. buy the sedan instead or i suggest the honda fit or nissan versa
wha...wha... what? This car isn't "sporty?" Enterprise rented me one while my truck was in the shop, and the Yaris has potential to haul ass. It has good acceleration power, but with an octane boost, it'll FLLYYY. I'd buy one of these for the fuck of it and re-build it if i had money to throw around.
I think it's probably true. I've got 9 year old Corolla and it never ever needed any repair since new. Just regular service and i don't even do that much. Still goes like brand new..
Betakizz2, go f..k urself with a big f..ing truck and feel safe, die while walking. wht the f u r talking abt. its ppl like u spoil the environment. learn from europe.
I don't listen to some of these comments since some of you a- don't own the vehicle or b- just search these things to make negative comments.
I have the 2009 3 door liftback in dark red and I love it. It is a great car with lots of space for the size- I am 6'1 and I fit fine even in the back seat. It has very simple controls and I understand everything about it. It has definite quality and I love it. And the gas mileage is great, to boot.
It seems to me that the Toyota Yaris is good because it Kenny Smith Jumps Japan industry master of the world to the modern age .. Speaking about the Yaris sedan it the peak of comfort and elegance, but security is not good enough and wonderful in so that the fuel consumption very few unlike Alstaap U.S.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yea but when they make a little POS like this it makes them look bad. Have you driven in one?. I have and its like driving a toy the plastic is just junk I feel like I can break the shifter if I look at it wrong. they could have don't so much better with this car. I just felt like I was driving in a very cheap little car. I love toyota if was to get an import I would only do with toyota they make cars that you can still work on unlike honda or nissan.
you're absolutely right, no way im disagreeing but my neighbor just bought one with the cash for clunkers program for his son and i got to ride in it, and honestly i think if you focus on who these people are targetting for customers its worth it.
they've made it so that its so cheap and affordable yet safe that people who couldnt afford vehicles unless they were used can have cars now.
honestly, i'd have bought a honda fit over a yaris :P
yea its that hard, and its funny how many people gave me thumbs down some people are just diehard imort car people and anytime someone bad mouths them they bitch and cry about it LOL. Imports are fare from perfect cars they have there recalls and problems just like any other car make out there.
Who needs a powerful engine in country governed with speed limit and cops are roaming almost every hour. I love a reliable, efficient and comfortable car and can attain the speed limit of 70mph (US highways). That's all I want for my car.
@eraserheads78 totally agree, but, i would also like good acceleration as well as good speed. i'd rather drive a car with a top speed of 90, but can get from 0-60 in a decent amount of time.
according to research, its easier for humans to move their eyes sideways than up and down, that's why the Yaris' instrument panel is placed in the middle, so you wont hurt your eyes looking from the road, to the dash and back.
no it is not hard to get used to in Iceland we have had Toyota yaris from 1999 and they where not hard to get used to the older yaris was smaller and no there was not that good comfort for the back seat but the front is very good.
