Would Buy Again Easily! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By SB - January 28 - 2:56 amAfter over four years of ownership, this is a great car all around. Ive driven this car through mountains, snow and floods and still after 44,000 mi, the engine and everything else still runs like it did when it rolled off the showroom floor. Acceleration is nothing special, but its ample to get on the highway and keep up with traffic. I usually average about 34 mpg with mostly city driving, 42 mpg is the absolute most in my experience. Storage is never a problem even on long trips with a dog kennel in the back and being 62 I have plenty of headroom and legroom (maybe not so for rear passengers). If youre a no frills person looking for reliability and function, Yaris is a great choice.

Good car (just good, not great) - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By New york city gal - December 25 - 9:23 amSo my last car was a Honda Accord. I know its not fair to judge this car based on my past vehicle but Im pretty sure that is why Im not wholly astounded. I find this car to be quite bumpy on the road (as expected from such a small lightweight car), & I truly hate the brakes. I feel like the car is almost out of control when braking. When driving on a bumpy road I feel like Im riding a bike on a cobblestone road. Maybe Im not used to it but Ive been driving it for 2 weeks already. Car sounds like a tank when accelerating, and really cant keep up with other cars. Overall, I expected better but its still not a bad car. And for the price & toyota name I really cant complain.

Only one complaint - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By ahviva - August 8 - 8:33 pmI was extremely excited to buy this car to replace my old Geo Metro. Although no fuel-driven car (and even many hybrids) comes close to Geo Metros fuel efficiency, Yaris record was good enough. Plus, I was looking to stay within the sub-compact category. I love it in every way except for two serious design flaws: 1. Theres only ONE cup holder in the whole car, and its positioned in a way that is utterly inconvenient. I have to reach quite far back, past the manual brake to be able to grab it. 2. If I adjust the seat so that I am comfortable reaching the pedals, I have to stretch my arms to reach the steering wheel. It makes it for a much less comfortable drive than Id like to.

Great Milage Vehicle - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Tommy - June 8 - 4:00 pmI have been driving my 2007 Yaris for 2 years. I bought the vehicle for mileage and I get 38 to 40 MPG without an exception. I drive 50 miles round trip daily. I will soon be driving 90 miles a day round trip and look forward to the gas mileage and savings. I have actually gotten 42 MPG on road trips. I bought this vehicle after my stepson purchased his Yaris. I was told it would take 4 weeks to get the vehicle, but the dealer had one in 3 days. I think this is a great car for commuting, but I will take my F250 truck when I am going on a long trip.

Great for the money - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By kevin sheldrick - May 25 - 9:46 pmExcellent small car for back and forth to work and on trips . Great on gas. I get a lot of ribbing from co-workers but laugh all the way past the gas stations.

Just Got It! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Jennifer - February 22 - 6:46 pmI have had my Yaris for a week now! I got into a car accident so was forced to get rid of my Saturn Ion. I love the Yaris. The mileage is much better, it runs smooth. I have broken 100 in this car and it never felt faster than 50. The turning radius is wonderful. I opted for the leather interior. I drive over 100 miles a day to and from work so this car is wonderful with gas prices soaring. The only thing I dislike is the cup holders but I do like the extra ones in the doors. Way to go Toyota!

Poor fuel efficiency - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Chris - February 6 - 8:40 amI purchased this Yaris 2 doors liftback for a restaurant delivery use. So far fuel consumption is not what Toyota states between 34-39. Mine is average 19 MPG. Its half of what it states. This is the only thing I feel bad about it.

Extremely Pleased! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By matt_n - January 10 - 10:20 pmI really do love my Yaris. I was a bit skeptical after reading some reviews from various editors, but in the end I decided to trust the consumer reviews, and Im glad I did. As long as you understand that you are not going to have the fastest car in the world, I think you will be pleased if you purchase a Yaris. I have a light touch on the pedal to conserve my MPG, but it has no problem traveling in the fast lane. I have never driven a hatchback, but now I am hooked forever! Some reviews talk about a lack of a fun factor, but trust me, its a lot more fun than handling a big truck or SUV. Its a great feeling to fill up my tank and know its going to last me the week! That alone is worth it.

the best little car - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By yaris4 - August 18 - 1:17 amThis car drives smoothly in the front seat. Long drives in the country are comfortable with no back ache. Averaging 32-36 combined mpg. Great commuting car to the downtown core and easy to park. Auto transmission smooth and only repair made has been a new alternator. A/C runs cold still. Great little car.

Exactly what I wanted - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Eric - August 7 - 6:33 amI really appreciate the maneuverability of this car. (Its great for parking.) Its fun on curves and stable on the highway. I havent had any bad experiences with wind gusts, etc. Its not a sports car, and Im fine with that. The reliability and economic fuel consumption are what I was after. I couldnt be happier.
