This little compact Yaris sure to please. Don't let its miniature size fool you, Toyota added a lot of head room inside of this model! This model has just the basics with manual windows and locks, but if you are looking for storage then you've come to the right place. The Toyota Yaris Hatchback features lift up dashboard storage on both the drivers and passenger side. The control panels and screens are all positioned in the center part of the console - unlike most every other vehicle on the road that has the speedometer etc. Just behind the steering wheel. I find the center positioning far superior to the steering wheel area viewing placement! There are numerous cup holders too, so not even your rear seat passengers were forgotten. With about 37 mpg, the fuel efficiency is a pocket book pleaser for sure. This little gem can easily hold four adults and still have a tad bit of room for another rear seat passenger (or your favorite four legged companion). You and your guests will enjoy turning up the radio with built in CD player, so that you can sing along to your favorite tunes. If body style is more your concern, this little Toyota Yaris is of a more compact, eco style. It's two door body line is rounded and sleek with very few embellishments. It's sloped windshield and short front end allow for optimal road viewing. It also has front and rear wipers and defrost to keep travelers safe and happy (along with airbags also). The rear end of the Yaris is very short, not ideal for a fender bender!

Toyota is a great company making great and reliable cars. The car I bought had minor issues - like I had to replace a headlight light bulb and a brake-light light bulb, but no major ones, and overall was a very reliable and high-quality vehicle. The factory recommended maintenance is only every five thousand miles, which is not a pushover, and the cost of maintenance is moderate even at the dealership. You can get a minor service for below hundred dollars. Also, Toyota has the unified system for vehicle records - you can always see the whole history of the vehicle service as long as you perform it at one of the Toyota dealers. I have received good service at a dealership. And I even found one dealership ( Sierra Toyota ), which does not push unnecessary service on you, and just do everything by the book. The interior design is plastic and looks somewhat cheap, but Yaris is a low-budget car in the Toyota lineup, and reliability and mpg rating is more important to me anyway. In terms of reliability, this Yaris was a great car - over seven years of ownership and fifty thousand miles driven, I only had to take it in for repairs twice. Otherwise, the only care the car required was regular maintenance. Also, mpg rating is great - I'm averaging about 30mpg in the city while using air conditioning and maybe 25mpg without. Also, extended warranty was very affordable - below a thousand dollars.

What I like about my vehicle is how good it is with gas. I can do $40 a month and make it last no problem. I feel safe enough room for my family, and until now, everything has worked great with it. What I haven't liked is under the car it keeps getting damaged. I'm not sure what that part is called, but if I hit something on the road, I always end up with that plastic piece hanging.
