Toyota Yaris in general Reviews

I have an X reg 2000 Toyota Yaris. I have owned it for 4 years now. It is a small car but on the inside it is huge. The are handy compartments everywhere, the back seat moves forward and backwards to give passengers more space. I find there is more space in the back seats of this car than any other small car and even some bigger ...  Read the complete review

We've had our Yaris for just over 2 years. It's an X 'reg' and has done over 114,000 miles, so you might think that it's getting old. However, it's a very low maintenance car - major work rarely needs doing, petrol is good - we've got a 1 litre engine so it's economical, and the last couple of MOTs have only failed on tyres! If all ...  Read the complete review

After running company cars for many years I suffered redundancy earlier in the year & had to surrender the company vehicle. Now I had to look for a replacement vehicle for family use, something that was cheap to run & be ideal for town/city use & the odd weekend away. As an ex mechanic I know the vehicles to avoid & the ...  Read the complete review

I owned a Toyota Yaris for two years until I recently upsized to a Toyota Corolla. I went with a Toyota as I had learned to drive in a Yaris and liked the look and style of the car, but also because I had been told great stories about their reliability! I had the three door option in red. There was plenty of room in the front of the car and in the ...  Read the complete review

First off where's the Yaris 1.5 T-Sport section??? Anyway have had the Yaris TS for a couple of years, I had it for my first car. With the hours I spent at Tesco working through my A-Levels I wasn't going to settle for a 1.1 like my (soon to be envious) friends. Anyway I had my eye on one of these for a while, and when I ...  Read the complete review

I have a Black Toyota Yaris T-Spirit, 1.0, 3 dr, 04 reg. I find this car really easy to drive and easy to park. Toyota cars are known to be a reliable make and from my experience with them i agree. I haven't had any problems with my car (touch wood) so far (except from someone pinching my toyota badge of the front argh!). It is economic to ...  Read the complete review

I have had my 1.3 Toyota Yaris for 18 months now, Yazzer (my son named the car) had it's first service, a couple of miles short of 10,000. The Toyota dealer (Pentagon, Barnsley) was helpful and the full service price was £96, which included oil and filter change, screenwash fluid, and they washed the car and vacumed it, all in three ...  Read the complete review

The Toyota Motor Corporation is currently ranked number 2 in the world motor market in terms of sales. It recently superseded Ford, who were number 2 before Toyota, last year and if current trends continue, the Toyota Motor Corporation will become number 1 in the world beating General Motors into second place by 2007. So what is spurring Japan's ...  Read the complete review

Having owned my T-sport from new, this month was its three year anniversary and the obligatory M.O.T test. Whilst passing, it was noted that the outside edge of the brake disks was badly corroded, (previous year check also picked up on this). Now I know i'm not the kindest person on the brake pedal, but the pads, all three years old, have ...  Read the complete review

Having sacrificed my family-sized 2-litre saloon a while ago, so that my wife could be the next to have a new car (pause for hearts and flowers, violins etc), in her case a right-hand-drive Smart, I'd been pottering around in our other car, (by default officially "mine" it seemed), judging by the minuscule number of hours I was ...  Read the complete review

Six months ago I bought a new 3-door Yaris GS. Shortly afterwards I posted a short comment to the effect that I was enchanted with just about every aspect of the car. Soon after posting, however, the car developed a fairly loud, high-pitched howl. This seemed to be a gearbox problem, since I heard it only in fifth gear and only when the ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ I’ve a fair few mates and colleagues who have bought the Toyota Yaris over the past while, some as run-arounds, and others as ‘second’ cars. This car competes in the same lucrative sector as the Ford Ka, the Seat Arosa, and the Volkswagen Lupo, but in my honest opinion beats them all into a cocked hat. ~ ~ The ...  Read the complete review

My colleague at work has just purchased a Toyota Yaris. I have seen a few on the road, but never really paid much attention to them. The one she's bought is a basic model, two years old, in shiny red metallic paint. Looking around it, you would not know it was two years old, it has been very well looked after, and has less than 10,000 ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved little cars, however they have been a bone of marital contention.I am five foot nothing and my husband is six foot plus and plenty of girth too. Anything that was comfortable for me was impossible for him to drive.Though he has his own car, occasionally it's out of comission and he commandeers mine. This was the first ...  Read the complete review

TOYOTA YARIS (in general) I’ve had a new Yaris for just over a year now (I got it just before the recall for the brakes last year). I can only praise the car, its brilliant – in every respect. I also can’t fault my dealer (McCarthy Maidstone) – there brilliant too. (I can however find many faults with another ...  Read the complete review

This car has been voted European Car of the Year, has recently scored better than any other car in its class in safety tests and has won critical acclaim from numerous sources, but does it live up to the hype? A year ago my family purchased a T-reg Yaris for £8,500 , and recently I have had the pleasure of driving it (graduating from the ...  Read the complete review

The Verso is, more or less, an estate version of the Toyota Yaris. I have just bought one for my wife to shuttle the children back and forth to school. We are all pleased with it. Prior to this my wife was driving my Isuzu Tooper (long wheel base)which she found really awkward to park in limited spaces. The verso has excellent all round visibility ...  Read the complete review

The time came to change cars. The M reg Rover 416i was lossing money had over fist. The car choice was massive, we hunted high and low. Ford, Fiat, Vauxhall, Nissan you name it we looked at it. Then we walked in Toyota not really expecting to find a car. We walked in sat in front of the salesman and asked the question 'What small cars do you ...  Read the complete review

Since I first wrote about the Yaris last year, the range has been changed, most dramatically by the addition of a 'warm hatch' model. So its time to update that op. To cash in on their motor-sport activities, including entering Formula 1 in 2002, Toyota are creating a new T-sport range. Starting with the Yaris, they plan to create ...  Read the complete review
