This little runner is fantastic. The specs: It has anti-lock brakes, body coloured bumpers, remote central door locking, immobiliser, driver, passenger and front side air bags, front/rear head restraints, centre rear seat belt, power-assisted steering, rake adjustable steering column/wheel, manual door mirrors, front electric windows and spacesaver spare wheel. The list is endless considering its such a little car I love my Yaris.Mine is a 2007 3 door liftback. I haven't had to do any repairs since I bought it in March 2007. I get an average of 35-36 mpg mixed driving. One time I got it up to 41 mpg! It's an amazing little car for such a cheap ...  Read the complete review

I had the opportunity to drive this car when I was learning to drive. Altough I did no have much experience at driving I knew this was a good car. It was daunting at first due to the digital readouts on the central control panel which are quite unique and look very space age.

The VVTI engine, which operates 6 valves, only opening 4 when required helps fuel economy, which is something this little car knows all about. On a normal roundabout town drive I was getting about 55 mpg and once out and into the countyside it sits happily at 65mph and still offers about 46 mph. ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Yaris nearly nine years ago from new, still have it and wouldn't consider getting rid of it yet. Since I bought it, it has never let me down, starts every time and hasn't had any major problems (touch wood!). The compact body means parking it is a doddle, much easier than my husband's Galaxy and the interior is deceptively spacious. I run my own business and frequently carry stock in it and have had as many as ten nests of tables in it with the back seats folded down. The only problem I have had with it is the radio/stereo. After three years I had to have it replaced as it kept making a horrible grinding sound and refused to play cd's, and the ...  Read the complete review
