2009 Toyota Yaris User Reviews

Pros

fuel economy, small size, lot's of storage

Cons

only place for feet are the pedals, spd control a waste

Purchased As New

I dislike any new car, bought this one as it was best overall value with air conditioning. Bought base hatchback. It does just what it's suppose to do, go from here to there with minimum use of gas, somewhat comfortable but toterable. I found it's overall quality about the same as competitor "cheapos", performance about the same also. In reality, enco boxes are all about the same, hard to cut the cheese much differant, but it is the best value for the bucks with a/c included. Satisfied even though I choke at even spending this much money for 4 wheels after owning my trade since new in '95. As for realibility, I am a firm believer a car is not better than the owner that takes care of it so it should serve my purposes well enough. Products are so price nuts nowdays it's hard to take any of them seriously and makes me gag, this was the best I could do and hope for another 14 yrs of service after that it's a wheelchair and God knows what those things will cost then....read morehide

I am very happy with my Yaris, I own several vehicles before and this is the first car I ever have with a excellent fuel economy about 40 miles per gallon. l.5 liter, small engine but great power.
very good space inside, low noise and I can give Toyota from the scale l to 10 , my score will be l0.
much better the Nissan Versa ( my wife owns one)....read morehide

I have a 5 door Yaris as a rental here in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I selected the Yaris because I though I might purchasing one in the Philippines. My company wanted to give me a larger car but I chose the Yaris because of my plans and the lack of parking spaces here in Abu Dhabi. On the freeway "I" am flashing the lights at the BMW's and MB to pullover and let me by so it has plenty of power to do 140 kph+ if needed. Fun to drive and an ease to park and I park in some places others can not fit into. I will definitely get one in the Philippines with a standard shift. Mileage is good but I am not really checking since company pays for the gas. I get about 450 kilometers before I fill up and the low tank level waring is flashing. I have also had to drive long distances in 100+ heat with no problems with A/C or engine problems....read morehide

Pros

The gas mileage is unbelieveable.

Cons

It isn't a fast car, but that isn't why we bought it.

Purchased As New

This car has been great for us. It is big enough to fit stuff for a two week vacation and still have room for our 2 dogs...their kennels and our cat. I will drive this car until it won't go anymore!

Pros

Great gas miliage.Great Storage areas.Great value for a small car

Cons

Car Noise. Paint chip and/or rust easy. Weather moves car alot on highway

Had another small car in the past.,but must say that the perfomance with the Yaris is great. A good investment that's durable and reliable.

Pros

great fuel economy and fun to drive

Cons

metallic paint doesn't appear to be holding up very well

Purchased As New

I love my car! I have had it 3 years and still look at it and smile. Haven't had any maintenance except oil changes and replaced the tires.

Pros

40 mpg, easy to drive and park, ultra reliable

Cons

flimsy interior

Purchased As New

This is one funny looking car. Cheap plastic interior is a minus, but overall it's tons of fun to drive (in standard transmission), good pick-up, has the engine of a riding mower and suspension of a go-cart. Still, it's a Toyota, and if you take care of it it'll take care of you for years (and years) to come. A good, cheap deal for city driving....read morehide

I love this car. I replaced a Volvo XC90 so it took a few days getting used to the smaller car. I commute everyday in the Yaris and just love it! I am 6'1" 200 lbs and I fit just fine. The Toyota dealer was great to deal with and they had a very good selection of Yaris 3 door to choose from. I would recommend this car to everyone!...read morehide
