The Toyota Yaris is overall an extremely reliable car. I have had no maintenance issues aside from just the basic general service. The car is fun to drive and has plenty of features that are found on more expensive cars such as cruise control, air conditioning, a cd player with mp3 capability, and sporty trim on the exterior of the car. The car, while small, is very comfortable and has plenty of leg room despite its compact size. It rides comfortably, although its smaller size can make long trips a little less comfortable, especially with luggage to carry. This is greatly out weighed in my opinion by the excellent gas mileage that the car provides. I have always found an average of 30-33 mpg while city driving and over 40 mpg while on the highway making the Yaris and extremely affordable way to travel while on long trips.
