An impressive small car

I just replaced my Scion xA with a Yaris L 5-door in Classic Silver and I have to say that I really like this car a lot. I'm so glad that Toyota did away with the awful center mounted gauges. I had those in my Scion xA and grew to hate the whole setup after a few years. The interior in the Yaris is extremely well designed with easy to use controls, nice materials and very good fit and finish. It feels like a much larger, more expensive car than it actually is and drives great in the city, on the thruway, and even in the snow and ice. Out the door with tax and everything, the Yaris was a very reasonable $17,700. The Yaris is also one on the most reliable cars you can buy.
A lot of not so small car

After about an hour test drive ( my dealer put a tag on it said enjoy yourself, so I did) I walked away and turned back looking for a slightly bigger car. The Yaris while a sub compact car doesn't leave you with the " point a to b " I'm here felling. My drive consisted of in town, and paved county back roads. The Yaris is what it is, a small 4 cyl 4 door car, BUT- It DOSENT have the sub compact fell every bump in the road fell. Ride is actually good for a small car and steering is responsive as well is the small motor, of corse it dose get a bit loud if you get into it, but the response is actually a little more than you would expect, with small cars there's always trade offs. The Yaris has no problem getting out in traffic but with sprinted driving the trade off is going to be in gas mileage at some point, not that you would notice lol. The inside is actually what you would expect but Toyota found a way to bring it up a bit. Front seats are surprisingly comfortable with lower back side bolsters that kinda hug your lower sides, nice touch. The sound system in my car had the 6+" touch screen and even a pillar tweeters. Sound quality was actually SURPRISING with plenty of volume. Controls for everything were well laid out and easy to reach. So, over all Toyota has done a great job putting together a cute and enjoyable sub compact commuter car. Its not for everyone granted, but those looking into a sub compact for mainly commuting and running errands owe it to there selves to test drive a Yaris, the only thing I could ask for is cruse control, but I'm willing to do without because of the gas mileage, nice sound system, and surprisingly comfortable front seats. I bring my 2016 Yaris home today or tomorrow

Have owned my 2013 LE 5-door since new. Only a couple of minor issues easily fixed. A bullet-proof little nugget of a car. I disagree with poor reviews. This little thing rides well, is quiet on the interstate with high rated after market tires, swallows a ton of gear with rear seats folded and you could drive it cross-country easily.....It is a happy cruiser. I have a bad lower back, and these seats have never bothered me as they did in much more expensive vehicles I have owned (I got tired of their repairs and maintenance requirements). Yes, it has hard plastics here and there, but it is still a very respectable interior and layout. Tall passengers in the rear seat are stunned at the room behind my drivers seat (I'm 5'11). A great little primary or spare run-about car that I have recommended to many. The hidden gem in the Toyota line-up. Oh'', one more thing; that old school engine and four-speed automatic gets a lot of gripe for not being "new tech". But it has been around so long and proven, that there are many Toyota's/Scion's with this engine/trans that are still going strong with well into the 350,000 mile range with not a worry. I know of one like mine that already has 387,000 miles on it. Engine and Trans are still strong and car still holding up in general, quite nicely with typical wear items replaced...brakes, struts, water pump, the normal stuff. Not a glamorous ride, but it is a fun little bugger to drive. And so fun to pick your friends up at their dealership when their expensive, elite car is at the dealership broken down. A friend of mine with a BMW, caught a ride with me in my car to pick his car up after two weeks waiting on parts/repair at the dealer. He was so impressed after about 40 miles riding in all kinds of traffic (city and highway), he went and bought a twin to my car to get him to and from work (83 mile round trip from his house). The BMW is now his weekend/family vacation ride. The Yaris really is a very, very good all-around car! I cannot give an opinion though, on the new 2019 Yaris Hatch and IA Sedan that are re-named Mazda 2's, made in Mexico for Toyota.

It was fun to drive. I was looking for a subcompact car. I had a Nissan verse note before so this was similar, it’s really cute. Gas is pretty good , acceleration is a little slow but it’s good and zippy, overall I really like!

Better Than Wannabe Racers Think It Should Be

I knew what to expect. Poor acceleration, low engine power. I commute 45 minutes each way, mostly on Interstate and divided highways. The seats are not bad. I could drive this car for 5 or 6 hours or more without getting bedsores, as some would have you think. My 2016 LE model has AC, Cruise control and a nice Entune radio with bluetooth, which does a great job of picking up my audio from my iPhone and displaying the name of the song on screen. Anybody who buys this car and then complains about its lack of power did not do their research and is suffering from unrealistic expectations. Its a basic car with minimal frills and it does a good job at being that. I find that a lot of professional reviewers are former race car drivers and very experienced at driving exotic performance cars and look at the Yaris with a jaundiced eye. Non-professional reviewers are boy-racer wannabes and have unrealistic expectations for sure. Not all reviews can be generalized like this, but a lot of them are unrealistic.
