2008 toyota yaris Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Safety: As you might expect given its entry-level price tag, popular safety features like antilock brakes, front seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags are optional on the Yaris. In government crash testing, the 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan earned four stars out of five for front occupant protection during frontal impacts. In side impacts without the optional airbag package, it received a middle-of-the-road three-star rating for front and rear occupants. The liftback model outperformed the sedan in frontal impact testing by scoring a perfect five stars for driver protection. In... |

2008 Toyota Yaris Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The front suspension uses MacPherson struts, while a torsion beam setup is installed in back.

2008 Toyota Yaris Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It's always the tall clown with the stilts that gets the most laughs as he struggles out of the backseat, right? Cargo space is also a struggle in the Yaris. While the hatchback is easy to lift, it's a bit low when open - tall folks had better watch their heads. In the cargo area, a built-in cover keeps items out of view and out of the sun, but you have to remove the cover to fold the seats down. I folded the seats down a lot since the cargo space isn't exactly cavernous. Actually, I had to go grocery shopping without the kids (which I prefer, anyway, whenever possible) so that I could fold... |
