  Great Economy Car for Hard Times - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By boydoo - January 9 - 9:36 am

  This Car has everything we wanted. Reasonable price, and great gas mileage for a non Hybrid. It is a solid, well built car with Toyota reliability. My wife being short, loves the tall driving position as she can finally see the road. We adapted quickly to the center mounted gauges. Not an issue for us. I have to laugh at most of the professional reviews I have read. They live in different world than people who want cars in this segment. They test like we have the peddle to the metal from every stop light. The car has plenty of power for everyday commuting. And the ride is good, and the car runs very smoothly. Even with the Power Package this car seems simple. We love this car.

  Great Economy Car with a Nice Look too! - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Nicole - December 18 - 3:26 pm

  Yaris Sedan was a good choice. Nice trunk space and enough room in backseat for 2 kids. Ive averaged 36.5 to 38.5 miles per gallon. Handles very well around corners etc. Although it does handle well, it is somewhat fussy to keep straight on road due to tight handling performance. I purchased this car with electric everything. Overall, I would purchase one again.

  Yaris 4 door - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By limee925 - September 7 - 3:43 am

  Bought this vehicle as a second car that would be ideal for parking in the city. It fits the purpose there. Surprisingly sprite for a small engine and find that Im more than able to keep up with the larger vehicles on the road. It needs more input from the driver than larger cars, but that makes it more engaging and does add a little to the "fun factor!" Its a good car for what it was built to do. Cheap commuting and relatively comfortable with it. Throttle tip in can be a little aggressive and sudden, but have gotten used to it after 3000 miles.

  This is the second Yaris Ive owned. I had a 2008 that I bought in 2007. I wouldnt have bought another one if I didnt think they were good cars. My only complaint would be the cheapness of the interior and the paint job. Both of which failed me on my 2008. The gas mileage is a dream. I took my 08 Yaris from SC to MA last year and only spent $160 RT. Amazing!

  Car of my dreams - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By ilovemyyaris - June 11 - 12:13 am

  I am a student that uses this car for commuting Since I live in San Francisco I have to parallel park all the time, or find small places to fit in. Almost every single time I have a hard time finding parking the yaris has always come in handy. Another good part is how I can make quick U-turns pretty much everywhere (without having to reverse) The only thing that sucks is sometimes I can be a speed devil and Im on the freeway hitting the gas to the max and it takes like 20-30 seconds for it to actually start to kick in a speed up to 85-95mph Ive come to very close calls crashing into other cars, but Ive always hit the breaks and theyve never failed me. I love my yaris!!

  Fun/Zippy/Money saver - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By whatswhat1 - April 19 - 5:28 pm

  I have a 4 door hatchback and have driven it over a year. I also opted to add leather seats-great idea. Fun to drive, very zippy, can park anywhere, great turning radius (it still surprises me at times), wonderful to haul things in because of the back seat options, reliable and cheap to drive. I average depending on my driving style between 28-31 mpg city and 32-40 mpg highway. You will only get the 40 if you go 65 or under on a non windy day. Cons are that you hear the road noise and engine a lot, feel bumps because of stiffer shocks and the inside is more plastic than I would like...but this is not a sedan so what do you expect? A great, fun ride for the average cost conscious driver.

  I love my Yaris! - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Rex81 - July 1 - 12:16 am

  Im a car enthusiast. I know a lot about cars and have owned everything from muscle cars to sports cars to big luxury cars to tiny commuters. The Yaris is my favorite all arounder so far. It looks great, gets AMAZING gas mileage, its fun to drive, and feels solid on the road. The ride is an excellent mix of comfort and handling, the stick feels great, and its just a great car to get in and go. The engine, though small, is really great. Very smooth, quiet, efficient, and it has adequate power. The sedans trunk and rear leg room match many large cars. Its amazing how small it is on the outside and how large it is inside. Overall, the best car for the money out there.

  The worst car Ive ever driven - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By jokl - February 16 - 4:03 am

  Not enough power to go up hill. Dash in the middle is not intuitive to look at. $16k car still use hubcaps. With the same price there are much better cars from competitors.
