  Sensible and Awesome - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Jon - November 26 - 2:33 am

  I love my Yaris. For such a small, zippy car, there is a lot of room! I can fit my bike with the seats down (with the front wheel off) but it still fits! It gets great mileage, 36 mpg normally, with 38-40 mpg if I drive it nicely around the countryside. In carmine red, the yaris is very handsome looking and gets lots of questions and compliments. The seats are firm but comfortable. The climate controls, simple and straight forward, are very easy to fool with while driving and are very smartly laid out. The doors feel very sturdy and not cheap at all. My friends corolla feels cheaper. The center dash doesnt bother me at all. To sum it up- zippy car, great on gas, & comfortable. Check it out!

  I LOVE my Yaris! - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By pawsplus - November 8 - 9:36 am

  This is my 6th Toyota, and my first- ever NEW one. I have only had it a week, so I cant comment on reliability, but I fully expect to have the car through 300K miles. I have the 5-speed, and its a darn zippy ride! Smooth shifting and peppy. The center odometer/speedometer doesnt bother me a bit and its nice to have the extra glove box so close to the driver. The car is ABSURDLY large inside compared to what you would think--a ton of room for both driver and passengers or cargo. I feel as if its roomier than my Corolla.

  Traded an XB - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By blu287 - April 4 - 7:03 am

  Work at a Toyota dealer....Traded in an 06 XB which i loved but the 0% for 60 plus the same drive train which I trust made it irresistible. 36.9 mpg on the first tank. Surprised at the interior space..Im 510" 240 fit just fine. Vehicle seems to search for its spot in the lane at freeway speeds. Could be me though I had 17s on the XB. Overall a great car...Oh by the way my other car is an 2009 Audi A4

  Excellent economy car - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By Common_Man - October 2 - 8:00 pm

  We have owned our Yaris for about a month and love it. We thought about buying a Prius, but the 10k price difference made us change our mind real quick. The Yaris sedan looks small from the outside, but is more than sufficient for daily use like commuting to work and running errands. Even at highway speeds (75+), the vehicle is pretty smooth with no vibrations/noise. Seems to handle snow driving (northeast US) pretty well, compared to my previous bigger cars. Fuel economy is excellent (38+ on mixed driving). 20 bucks fills up the car. Leg room is very adequate both in the front and rear. Recommend that everyone buy the power package that includes power windows, mirrors, locks and remote key.

  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.

  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.
