My Toyota Yaris is a 3 door hatchback in blue color. It is a stick shift and the interior is dark and the seats are cloth. It came with a CD player/FM radio and USB port. Other than that, it is a pretty basic car without barely any bells and whistles, but it is very reliable car, which I like. I love that it has fantastic gas mileage. That is my favorite thing. I also like that it's small enough that I can get around easily and I love that I can whip my car in and out of traffic with ease. The same goes with parking; it's very easy. The only two times it has broken down is when the alternator went out and another time when the transmission and brakes needed replacing. Considering the fact that I have had this car for 9 years, I would say that's pretty impressive for such a budget vehicle. That doesn't mean it doesn't come without smaller problems though. I have had issues with the air conditioner, which can be quite a nuisance living in Florida. The A/C is tied to the clutch and I have already had to replace the clutch one time, which fixed it completely. Unfortunately, 3 years later, it is starting to give me problems again. This, I do not like. Another thing I do not like about the car is the noise; when I drive it, it's very noisy with a lot of vibrations. There have been several safety recalls in the past few years, which has been pretty annoying. For the most part though, I have been mostly satisfied with this car, considering I only had to pay around $11,000 for it at the time. Would I want to purchase another one? Probably not. Would I recommend it to someone with a low budget in need of a reliable car? Yes, definitely!

This is a great car to have a starter car. I got mine for college use and to get me to and from my job. It is surprisingly great on gas mileage and can maneuver greatly on dense city roads. It also is rather spacious for being such a small car I was able to move my entire apartment in a few loads. A great feature is that the hatch floor has a dirt proof/ scratch proof flip over floor so that the carpet does not get to messed up if you go out and get dirty. Some of the disadvantages are that if you are a car nerd like me, this car doesn't offer a lot of room for expansion. Another issue is the car overall is a low end model and doesn't have a lot of the bonuses of most cars such as power doors and windows. Also this particular year has a lot parts that are not common with the other models. In the end though, this car serves its purpose and shines in most aspects, I have never had a real problem with this car at all.
