  My 2011 Yaris - 2011 Toyota Yaris
  By mark_s3 - February 13 - 9:01 am

  I just purchased this car a few weeks ago (53 miles) and I have to say this is a cool little car! I got 40 MPG on the highway (top speed 60MPH non interstate roadways) and 36MPG on the Interstate (Top speed 70MPH). Comfort? Not sure why Edmunds said what they said about the car, but I find it quite comfortable to operate. The car seems higher off the road, more visibility out the front. I have not yet ran into any of the issues the other reviewer has, but its good to kmow about the air filter. Am now using it in consert with my ZX2 (using it every other week).

  2007, 08, 09 and 2010 40K service miles review - 2011 Toyota Yaris
  By girlcarbuilder - April 28 - 4:18 am

  Last review written was on a 2011 yaris hatchback, meant a 2010 at 20K service miles. Any way, the fleet has grown and I drive them all and service them as well. At this point, the reviews are in respect to maintenance needs. All units are at or about 40K miles now and everything is holding up well with just oil changes, air filter changes, tire rotations. The 07 is a recent auction purchase. It needed new tires. It is also undergoing rebuilding from an accident. So, if you are looking for something reliable, this car is doing it. Another interesting observation is how the front end is bolt on/off components. But if you take a hit above or below that bumper bar, bad news for damage.

  20K service miles review - 2011 Toyota Yaris
  By girlcarbuilder - March 27 - 12:35 pm

  We usually buy 3 dr hatchbacks and use as two seaters with a lot of storage/cargo room. Even with the back seats down this model compared to older hatchback designs like the 89 Mazda 323 or the 86 Toyota Tercel lacks such in room. On the other hand, the driveline punchs quite a punch in power compared to the older models. We have pushed up the gas mileage to 40 mpg so far by reverting back to 14 inch rims with 175/70r14s by toyo. The OEM bridgestones drifted too much, but the toyos glued it to the road and bumped the gas another 3mpgs! Make sure you install an air filter in the a/c system. For some reason the car does not come with one from the factory. We also added body side molding.
