  Great Fun - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By atsena - August 25 - 8:16 pm

  This car is a joy to drive. Nimble with a very tight turning radius. While many reviews complain about the lack of performance, I am totally delighted with it, and dont expect better in a car with this good a fuel economy. I am 63" and weigh over 200 pounds, yet the driving position, the seat, and getting in and out of the vehicle are all extremely easy and comfortable. Also love the instrument panel in the center, which I thought I would hate. The rear seats are comfortable, and folded down give me a great cargo area. And the clean design of the interior is great looking. Love the all manual windows and door.

  90,000 miles in 3 years - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By jacksinn - July 8 - 10:32 pm

  Its no secret by how many miles are on this car that I bought it because of the great gas mileage. A little pricey. $17,000 and it doesnt have power ANYTHING. Friends make comments about that and they have a point. Still love the great gas mileage 35-40 highway. No problems with this car so far.

  great car for me--so far 25 k - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By hrs5 - February 28 - 7:14 am

  I think my yaris is fantastic as I look towards long term ownership w/o problems... It might be a bit underrated if assessed from the standpoint of initial 2010 reviews of the vehicle versus longer term ownership. This car has really grown on me in every way! Im hoping that I can dime in again in another 25k with more positives.

  Works great for me - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By edgy - February 23 - 7:20 pm

  Ive had the yaris for 4 months and 6,500 miles, great car but Im a Toyota owner for many years. Yaris replaced my echo that also had the 1.5 engine. Retired the echo with 200,000 miles with original battery, water pump, alternator. I feel the yaris will out do the echo. The mileage is great, highway average approx 44.5. Love this car, strong a/c which was always a problem with the echo

  Superb Economy Car - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Stephen - January 22 - 10:16 am

  My 2008 Yaris recently totaled in accident. Did what it was supposed to, protect my wife and me while taking the damage. Four days later I had a 2010 identical Yaris with even better safety features. I cannot tell you how peppy, compact, fun to drive and SAFE this small car can be. Gas mileage is great, interior and exterior features and looks are sleek and very Euro style, and the cargo room is outstanding for what basically looks like a cute Tinkertoy. Small wife (411")loves the view driving it. Great choice for many reasons.

  Get one! - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By jimjimmyjimjim - July 18 - 7:30 pm

  I really do love this little car. Why do people have to state the obvious in their reviews? Its not a $60K sports car, duh. That said, I think it is fun as heck to drive in the 5spd manual trans. Plenty of power and dare I say even a "sporty" feel. Great modern look, bordering on adorable (to me). I honestly like the center console that some people complain about. It makes it easier for me to read my speed and I get an extra glove box out of the deal! The interior is ridiculously large for such a small car. Ive owned many cars including expensive sports cars. Ultimately a car is transportation. Toyota proves that transportation can be cute, fun, well made, reliable AND INEXPENSIVE! :)

  Best highway mpg - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By J - March 4 - 6:06 pm

  We purchased this car to park the silverado in hopes to achieve 37 mpg from everyone elses reviews. keeping the car at 70 mph or less we maintain 35-36 which is very impressive. took a highway trip and set it on cruise which was added, at 65 mph and at 280 miles we did get 46 mpg. i have no complaints for the compromise of mileage. if I did not have cruise control added i would not enjoy highway trips. overall if driven with a light foot and 70 or less mph good result await you. enjoy

  Yaris Kudos - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Jim Mc - February 23 - 2:20 am

  I recently purchased a new 3 dr Yaris and I am very happy with its overall quality and performance. I love the additional cargo space compared to my trade in Corolla. Compared to the Matrix which I drove as a rental for a few days the overall driver visibility is superior. It more than adequately gets up to the speed limit and as a technician it looks very easy to work on. Great price and quality. If it has the same dependability as my old Corolla I will be very happy in years to come. Jim Mc

  Yaris 2010 - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By pmm - July 10 - 4:06 pm

  Found the car tracking and seems to veer to the right on freeway speeds. Actually got motion sickness twice on trips over 100 miles. Would not buy one again and dealer let alone mfg bad on trying to help seems they really don`t care about customers as they say.
