Happy OwnerSource: Cars.com...But even so, the 2 door is really a great car. There are MANY add-ons that are available and I added almost all of them including auto dim mirror and xm radio and body molding. Yaris is the only car so far that has gotten it right and moved the instruments to the center where they are not hidden behind the steering wheel so you can actually see them without the night time glare shining in your face from behind the steering wheel. It was a bold move and maybe some people dont get it but it took me 2 seconds to appreciate it a LOT. This is my favorite car and I have owned a good many vehicles... |

Hutterite HatchbackSource: CarGurus
...Great little commuter car. Don't like the transmission (automatic). |

Buy this Car!Source: Cars.com...!). It is very roomy on the inside and comfortably fits 4 adults. The back seats recline and move backward, allowing for even more room for my 6-foot sons no problems. Only routine maintenance (oil changes, one set of new tires, new front brake pads) and I replaced the stock speakers for more bang. I don't like having the cup holder in front of the air register on the side, so I have to close off the register. Also there isn't much room for my purse, so I have to put it on the middle back floor.Of course, the gas mileage -- I do drive fast (80 mph on road trips), with AC on and a full load of... |

Quick Corner Car. HaSource: CarGurus...Its under powered but so light that you hardly realize you aren't going that fast. Taking corners is the funnest part. The car just sticks. It's just a fun cheap car to drive... |

IT'S STILL A WINNER!Source: Cars.com...Now I have had the chance to really get to know this car. Summed up, it is AWESOME VALUE! Everything is a 5 star except for driver's seat comfort. The back seats rate as 5 stars but the driver's seat is 2 stars. It took me over a month and a half to adjust the seat & tilt steering so that my knees would not hit the steering wheel and goodness forbid if anyone changed the seat settings around. Still great on gas, it only needs an oil change every 5000 miles, turns on a dime and very responsive! Despite the Expert Reviews, I like the console in the center of the dash. No longer do I have to... |

Good Idea But POOR Quality and ResaleSource: Edmunds...30,000 in first year, small accident and seat warped. Then pulled too close to curb and pulled inner fender out. Tried to trade on anther toyota product and found it was worth 6500 less than what I had paid for it. Wanted a Yaris for fuel economy but bought a loaded KIA M/van for 50 less a month than a base yaris. Also trim on roof blew off going down interstate and hit another car. POOR WORKMANSHIP ON SCION. You can tell it is the LOW end of Toyota. Back seat bottom is cheesy and uncomfortable. Gas mileage dropped to 22 on interstate driving depending on type of gas... |

Love My YarisSource: CarGurus
...It took me a lot of time to decide on a car. One thing I wanted was great gas mileage. |
