  A must in todays gas prices! - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Shelbybelly - January 7 - 4:43 am

  GREAT on gas, I get an average of 37 mpg thats mixed driving. Best I get is 43 mpg, lowest I get is 34 mpg. Good pickup and stopping. I feel very safe on highways with this car. A real eye catcher. Over all, I love the car and would not have or drive anything else. Highly recommend this car to anyone.

  Little Red - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By oldguyaris - December 5 - 9:03 am

  The Yaris climbs our bluffs at a respectible 60 mph. Then again, I didnt expect a 1.5L to boil tires. My thoughts regarding room in the Yaris. I am 62" and 320 pounds. Nuff said on that. My Yaris is a blast to drive on our back roads. Other owners smile and wave at you when they go by. It has been a long time since Ive owned a car that I liked as much as the Yaris. I will recommend to any one, try this little "sports" car. Mileage to date, 29.76 city and 42.36 highway. And it doesnt even have 400 miles on it yet.

  Huge Savings! - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By KH 730 - November 21 - 4:13 pm

  Just purchased the 4-door Yaris a week ago as a second car & I am amazed at the gas mileage. We have a Jeep Commander but needless to say its going to take a break until the snow comes. The car is so easy to drive & pretty comfortable. I really like the radio with the MP3 cd read. Its definitely a great car and would be a nice choice for someones first car. The backseat is very spacious (for a small car) and the trunk has optimal space; I havent had to fill it up yet but it seems like itll get about 440 miles per tank, thats such a huge difference! Im averaging about 35-40 mpg only city driving, thats in comparison to 12-13 mpg. so it definitely benefits my budget.

  Excellent Gas Mileage - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By ToyoYari - October 22 - 9:53 am

  Traded in my gas hungry SUV for a blue Toyota Yaris Liftback. Trips to the gas station have not been as many. The little bars that indicate the amount of gas that is left move down very slowly. Inside it does not feel as small as it looks on the outside. The sound system is more than enough and there is even a jack on the lower console to plug in an MP3 player, pretty awesome. The back seat is kept folded down so there is always plenty of cargo space to toss stuff in the back. The engine is fairly quiet for a small car with plenty of pep to make it move in city traffic and on the highway.

  So much FUN to drive! - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By coco - September 30 - 2:13 pm

  I actually have the 5 door hatchback!! Our van was falling apart so we replaced our gas guzzling 2000 Venture van with the Yaris, and we wish we had done it earlier! The interior is clean & simple. The car is fun to drive! The many compartments are awesome & I really like the cup holders, they are easy to grab and sip. I drive each day and we really needed something that is easy on the gas, which this is. To me the Yaris is the real "smart car"... great on fuel & seats 5 people!

  I bought this car in June of 2008. I had a 2003 Dodge neon which was a gas guzzler in the city at 4.09 per gallon. This car is very nice. I get about 42.9 MPG highway and about 35-36 city. The ride is smooth comparable to my sisters Lexus. The design is really good.

  Great MPG - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By Roy - September 10 - 7:06 am

  I purchased my 2008 Yaris sight unseen and never test drove the model. I am pleased with the ride and build quality. This car is not a Camry, but rides remarkably well for a small car. I was surprised at the noise level in the car. I was expecting very noisy, but find the sound level to be tolerable. I have achieved 45 mpg on the highway which is amazing. The car is rated for 37 highway, but I have run thru 2 tanks of gas and registered 44 & 45 mpg. The only secret to my success is driving no faster than 60 mph. The car is quiet enough at that speed and it is also the sweet spot for MPG. If you want great MPG drive this car gently and you wont be disappointed

  They Are So Cute! - 2008 Toyota Yaris
  By wendy - August 19 - 12:03 pm

  I just bought my Yaris last month. I bought the upgraded pkg. with power, so I do have cruise and power windows and locks. I had a rear spoiler and keyless entry installed locally for much cheaper than Toyota offered. I am only 5 ft and this car fits me perfectly. It is also easy for me to get in and out of. The drivers seat raises and the speedometer is not in my way either. The gas mileage is great and the pep is super. I bought the pacific blue 4 dr sedan. I really love all the little compartments through out and that spacious trunk. No complaints from me!
