2007 Toyota Yaris

Very realiable and fuel efficient

By nzonz0 (FL) on Tuesday, June 18, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 43,000

Pros: "Great MPG, comfortable, maintains value, reliable"

Cons: "Lower stability at high speeds, some road noise"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Very reliable car, nevere given me any problems apart from a dead battery (due to a a bad battery not the car). All it needs is gas and oil and fluid changes. The car is very comfortable; although small it does the job. It handles a bit rough on the highways due to the size and weight of the car, but nothing out of the ordinary. There is a bit of road noise (only noticeable when driving with the ac and radio off) but overall higly recommend it. It is by far the best car owned by me or any family members, great on gas, and maintains its value extremely well."

First day of ownership

"I purchased this car without much thought I thought it was cute and it had a fair amount of extra options that I wanted I really didn't test drive the car that much I assumed with it being a Toyota that it would be great and full of quality well its been a good car but the build quality wasn't as good as my Corolla that I traded in the doors feel light and cheap and the interior scratches very easy and there is a lot of road noise coming in from the engine and tires. HOWEVER once I realized I was getting right about 40mpg I didn't care anymore this car will go forever on a tank of gas and I have the automatic. The car also just goes and goes all I ever do it put in gas it doesn't use any oil or anything like that and with the a/c its rather peppy but as soon as you switch on the air you aren't going anywhere to fast."

great car, great value

By Megan (IA) on Monday, June 10, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 39,000

Pros: "great price, fuel efficient"

Cons: "windy steering"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have had my yaris for 4 years and it has not disappointed. I'm actually getting better gas mileage than it's rated for. I've calculated as high as 39.5 mpg. It's very inexpensive to fill on gas. The only qualm I have about the car is when it's windy. Even with a little wind, it's hard to control the vehicle above 55 mph. It also can be very zippy on snow and ice if you're not careful, but that is a characteristic of most Toyota vehicles. The gas pedal does not take much of an effort to go from 0 to 60, so it took some adjustment coming from driving an old Ford taurus that required a lead foot to get going. Other than that, the car is great. Lots of leg room. It sounds like another user just needs to lift their seat higher. The back seats sit up higher, so you get the feeling that there is more room. The car also has a great sized trunk (sedan version). I have surprised many by how much I can fit inside my car. With the backseats down, I have gotten a bicycle in with the lid shut."

Best vehicle ever

"I love my Toyota Yaris! It is a small but powerful car with great maneuverability and fast response. It is also the first car I have ever owned although I have driven other cars - Hondas, Fords mostly. And my Yaris is super easy to park as well as turn around in the street!"
