Grandmas Car - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Liz - December 23 - 11:16 amI purchased the car because it was cute and got good mileage. Everyone in my family is borrowing it because of the mileage. Even my son really likes it. maybe I should have it painted pink so it will stay in my driveway more often. I bought it to take the grandkids to and from school. I have never had so many people ask me about my Yaris.

253,000 miles and counting! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Rico - December 18 - 9:46 amIts the bare basics of a car that runs every day, handles off road adventures, and almost fits five comfortably! You have to drive this car, no cruise, no auto anything, no ABS, and very few problems. Watch for corroded battery terminals, replace the positive fuse block/terminal at 170,000 and save some headaches. I had a final drive seal go during warranty, but Toyota fixed it once and then the dealer fixed their bad installation as well. This car has run Sheep Pens Road in Baca County, Colorado, driven Pikes Peak, driven thousands of miles of dirt road and mud, and still drives my +200 mile daily commute. I get about 37 MPG on a two hundred ten mile daily commute on a US highway, but I have stretched it to 46 MPG on a few interstate highway trips with four adults and luggage (okay, very sparse luggage). It is not frilly, not fancy, but it will get you where youre going with a little fun. Ive had it up to 108 MPH, and it starts to lift in the back so stay unser 102 MPH. I think the sport wing would get her up to 120 MPH no problem.

Great little car - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Bonnie - November 23 - 11:30 amThis Yaris is a great driving little car and handles like a dream. Ive enjoyed driving it, especially since it has great pick up and can get out in traffic with no problem whatsoever.

Fantastic!!! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By amy - November 16 - 12:36 pmWhen driving the Yaris you feel like an ice skater gliding over the ice. I have only had the car for 4 days but I know its the best purchase Ive ever made. The gas mileage is awesome as a commuter this will come in handy!!!

2007 Toyota Yaris S - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Jenn - November 15 - 9:46 amThere are some things I would change, such as the manual seat adjusters and manual steering wheel adjuster (I was spoiled in my last car). My boyfriend likes when we take my car out some evenings (he has a large SUV), because we can park more easily and in smaller "parking spaces". You can hear the traveling noise at higher speeds, but that doesnt matter much to myself. Knowing that I get really good gas mileage makes up for that.

Super Fun Big Little Car - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Holly - October 30 - 6:10 amI wanted a new car with great fuel economy and a 1980s-era price tag. My bright red 2-door liftback automatic is an adorable head-turner that more than doubled my previous MPG. It sits a little higher off the ground so getting in and out is easy, and the front seat area is remarkably spacious. It feels "big" on the inside. For the price I expected a "less substantial" car, but was surprised at its grippy feel of the road and responsive handling on curves. A $20 cable from Circuit City allowed me to stream my iPod through the radio. Passenger-side airbag sensor activates the airbag based on weight. Overall a thoughtful design and intelligent vehicle at a realistic price.

Solid Commuter - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Aunit - October 27 - 4:23 amThe Yaris is all about cheap, reliable transportation and on that it delivers. I have seen well over 45mpg in mostly highway driving. I have had no reliability issues, all components work as advertised. The only issue I have had was that I was reversed into in a parking lot and the bumper cover cracked which may have been avoided but Toyota did not fit USDM cars with foam bumper absorbers (the parts under the cover, its essentially hollow under there). Canadian and Japanese cars have them.

Unique Styling, Outstanding Mileage - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By micweb - October 11 - 7:20 amThis is the type of car I expected from VW - compact, highly efficient, well made, and innovative. Well, I had to go to Toyota to get it, but at least there are a ton of Toyota dealers to get it serviced at! :-) I gave up some creature comforts that I hardly miss - like power windows etc. - but got a great price. This puppy accelerates FAST with a 5 speed. It is more sporty than my old VW Golf! At the same time I am getting 35-37 mpg during this break-in period on my freeway commute. Quiet when cruising. Engine noise when accelerating, but thats the trade off for a sub-2500 pound car that does well in NHTSA, NCAP, and IIHS crash tests. Im a happy new owner!

When driving became fun again! - 2007 Toyota Yaris
By Michael - October 5 - 2:03 pmI cant recall the last time I found myself looking forward to driving; my Yaris makes my being on the road a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I can only echo others comments regarding the Yaris handling, fuel economy (Ive been averaging 34 MPG as a city driver) and its inescapable head-turning likeability. I adapted quickly to the center-mounted instrument panel. Variety is the spice! I definitely recommend the Power Package if only for the power-lock amenity. The standard stereo setup thats included in this package is robust enough for me. Friends have all commented on the Yaris deceptively roomy interior. It seats five, but four seems a more realistic number to expect.
