Used Toyota Yaris for Sale in Richmond, VA

I originally purchased my Yaris because my family all have Toyotas and said that they were great vehicles. I liked the idea of the Yaris because it seemed like a mix between a RAV 4 and a typical car. It had the hatchback and was supposed to have great mileage. I liked the idea of having a hatchback for ease of use verses a trunk, as it's sometimes hard to reach back into a trunk to reach items, groceries in particular. I liked that the Yaris was a bit smaller and had a good turn radius. I had already decided on purchasing this car before going in to the dealership, which I see now was a mistake. I would have been much happier with a more typical car. I have now had my Yaris for going on two years and I wish I could trade it in for something different. As soon as I'm financially able I may do so. It is already having problems as far as brakes, and it is a very uncomfortable experience to drive. The gas mileage is also not what was promised. I drive at least 2 hours every day, and it is terribly uncomfortable for commuting. The seats are not comfortable, it is hard to reach the dash (radio) and it is very hard to reach the drink holders as well. The visibility of the car (front windshield) is not great. I even purchased a special coating to help cut down on the damage to the windshield and it is already starting to erode. It may just be that the car was a poor fit for me, but I have been extremely unhappy with this vehicle. I dread having to drive in it because it’s just incredibly uncomfortable overall.

The mileage is amazing, especially on highways. The turn radius is like nothing I have every experienced, and I know it will be the thing I will miss most if I ever have to get a new car. For being a compact sedan, the headroom is spacious, along with the backseat. Three people can sit very comfortably back there and not feel too cramped. The speedometer is in the center of the dashboard, rather than behind the steering wheel. It took a while to get used to, but now it's a feature I love.
