  A smart choice. - 2010 Toyota Yaris
  By mkyaris10 - March 12 - 3:10 pm

  I expected a simple get-around-town ho hum experience. I have been pleasantly surprised. The Yaris wont win any drag races, but the versatility of the interior cubbies along with the great seats and good ride quality will make up for it. The gas mileage has been good, 30-36 mpg. My lowest was 28.5 mpg on an all city driving week. Id recommend the 5 dr, and go ahead and load it up with all the power options. You wont save that much by leaving them off, and theyre worth it. Edmunds exaggerates the manual vs auto transmission. The auto is fine. The gates are good, and the shifts are smooth. You cant beat the Yaris. Just go test drive one.

  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.

  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!!

  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.
