Is the yaris really small? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Took an impromptu trip to Ikea with the gf in her Neon, ended up buying an entertainment centre on clearance... but it wouldn't fit in her car. So we had to go back home and get the Yaris to take it home, haha.

The yaris is short, but it's quite high (which actually makes it look even shorter). It's not really a small car, if you compare it with older cars, the older ones (geo metro, first gen civic hatchback, etc.), the older cars aren't that much shorter, but they are still smaller from everywhere else (widht, height), which made them more balanced imo (with "real car" proportions).

Anyways, size doesn't have much to do with interior room. 3m50 well used would be enough to have a limousine comfort for 4 people. I had a Civic wagon before (4 meters long) and there was an incredible amount of room, more than in a Honda Fit (although the fit has more trunk volume because it's higher).
