  Value and mileage - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By dp - October 28 - 12:03 pm

  Bought this car as a commuter and delivery car for my business. Got to say going from a big crew cab diesel 4x4 to this was a big change. But once I drove it the car feels much bigger than it is inside and out. Brought a smile to my face when I filled up and was getting almost 40 mpg on the first tank. This was driving in the city for deliveries all day and my freeway commute of 70 miles. I like this little car more and more never getting below 36 mpg even got high as 42 mpg! Yes its is basically a throw away car after 5 years but what it saves me in gas for work and my drive, who cares!

  Bulletproof - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By AaronDetroit - September 19 - 11:20 pm

  Ive had this car about 2.5 months now. Its a 2008 3dr. hatch, 5 spd. manual. Has air conditioning, but not many other options. Got it with about 31k miles, and only 1 owner before me. Paid $8950. To me thats a crazy good deal. Build quality is excellent. Reputation for reliability is basically bulletproof. Gas mileage is great, especially if you dont drive it hard. Drives, handles, shifts, and brakes very well for an economy car. Has an overall feeling of quality that is hard to find at this price range.

  By Sam - September 5 - 11:00 pm

  I am very happy with my Yaris. Toyota makes the best car. I have a car that will not only save me gas but also will last for a long time because it is a Toyota:-) Very nice looking interior.

  By logek_aok - July 12 - 9:53 pm

  First off as a guy always driving big cars this was a change...But a good one i drove a toyota avalon but the gas was killing me.So did the research and the Yaris kept coming up.I drove every where in this car from chicago philly new york new jersey south carolina virginia and so on..Never a break down low maintenance just put gas and change oil thats it. Did a couple of up grades weathertech window vents and mats..Go on ebay and get oem parts thats dont come standard like armrest, cargo cover and cargo net..way cheaper than dealer

  Great on gas, cramped on space. - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Pati - June 16 - 5:06 pm

  We bought the car for gas mileage and thats the best feature about this car. Im a long time Toyota owner and wouldnt own anything else. However Id buy a little larger car next time, since its kind of cramped in the Yaris, but if you are small, like me and not tall, then this is the car for you!!

  My 1st NEW car - EVER @ 48yrs old - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Rex - June 4 - 6:06 pm

  I have always been the 3rd/4th owner of every vehicle Ive ever had. Finally decided to get a new car (thinking of gas mileage), researched the Yaris hatchback. Well I have had it 1wk ago today. Awesome mileage, 175 mi thus far - and only used a 1/4 tank.. I love my car! I went from a gas eating 81 Ford f150 to this Yaris. And Im completely satisfied!

  Better fuel economy than a hybrid! - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By R. - May 27 - 12:36 am

  I get 40-41 MPG, mostly freeway commuting. Zippy and fun to drive around town, but not a great ride on the freeway (the car is very light and doesnt seem to hug the road well at high speeds). Definitely go for the manual - youll get a lot more juice out of it AND better gas mileage. I test drove the automatic, and it was sluggish. The base car comes pretty stripped of amenities, but thats probably why the car is so low priced. I put a simple spoiler on mine, and I think it really helps the style.

  Fun Yaris - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Sharon - April 29 - 8:16 pm

  I have had my Yaris for 10mns and I love it. It is the most fun car to drive and you can make a lot of U turns. The gas mileage is wonderful, I get 33-35 except when running the A/C then it drops to around 25. There is more power than you would expect from this little 4cyl. My 64" friend has plenty of head room. I cant say anything bad because as far as Im concerned its the perfect car!

  I love my Yaris - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Peggy - April 21 - 5:56 pm

  I did research before getting this car. Got it yesterday and love it, love it, love it. It is like driving a sports car. I had a lot of errands to run and the gas gauge barely moved. It is zippy, picks up speed on the highway nicely. It is great fun!
