I've been looking around at a list if car's. A 2nd gen CRV is first on my list, But I've recently been looking at the Yaris, I'm amazed at the mileage and resale I've come across. I plan to pay cash, so I'm hoping to get some money knocked down from the advertised prices, I'm not messing with financing this time.

I have 2 kids, a 5 month old and a 3 year old. I'm looking for the 5 door hatchbacks.

What model do you have and How do you like your Yaris? Those with little kids and a 3 door is it hard to get an infant in and out? What kind of MPG's do you get with the Yaris, mostly city or highway driving?

Just a few questions i'd like to hear from. I do deliver for pizza hut for a living, so I'm also looking for fuel efficient. I just haven't fully decided if i want to go down from a SUV to a Yaris. Maybe some imput will help me =]

you might actually want something larger. just saying, kids don't stop growing

get something used that is good on gas

anyhow I haz the 5door 2010 and it is fine. I also have a 4runner. if the yaris was my only vehicle I would have gotten something bigger, 'cuz I do haul a lot of stuff around once in a while

mileage is better than EPA when the weather is good. lower when it is zero out, snowing, or I am hammering on it

around town you cannot beat the Yaris for maneuverability, it turns on a freaking dime. it isn't sporty so don't play 2fast2furious with it and it is a great all-rounder. plenty of zip to get on the highway, turns super tight so very very easy to park and navigate driveways
