are you sure you don't want a 2009 Mini S instead ?? I'm sure you'll have much more fun driving the turbo that does 5.8L/100km (40MPG)

yaris is all about the hatch and cute holders. if you dont liek all the compartments and holders then you and yaris are odviously not ment to be..... honestly.

I'm very happy with my Yaris. I've had mine for almost a year and I still enjoy driving it, getting great mileage, and having my first new car.

Sure, I know that there are much nicer cars out there but I'm completely satisfied.

[junorico24]

Haha I do that too. I "watch" my car as I walk into work.

Then I look out of the window at it all day.

I think it's plenty cute (and I'm so glad I opted for the '08 vs. the '09; not only was it cheaper, but for some reason, that just looks a bit CUTER???), and what I find I do more than anything is see another one on the road, think "What a cute car," then realize, "It's a Yaris!" But it's still too tall for my taste...

I loved the Yaris from the first day I laid eyes on one. I finally have a fish of my own now.. :)

My yaris does 55MPG, if not more. I will look into it.

55 mpg? Sure you don't mean mph??? That's just hard to believe... Why would they advertise it at 36 hwy (or whatever was on the window sticker; I forget) if it routinely gets 40 or better (55 is quite a leap; that's as good as the Smart car in Europe)? I managed 34 mpg last fill-up; my best yet...

My average is in the low 30s and thats all city. I do no highway driving. I guess with highway driving you could hit 40s.

To hit 50s my guess is a lot of hypermiling techniques. I don't think Toyota wants to advertise it for it's real mileage because it would steal sales away from the Prius. It'd be bad marketing, especially when the Prius is much more expensive.

I'm not complaining, how often do you buy something that performs better than it was advertised?

[Phaeton]

This is a cheap car, yes it's a Toyota but it's still a cheap econobox. If you expect anything more, maybe you should have bought a more expensive car.
I've put 37,000 miles on mine in 8 months, Never even had a flat tire.
It get's 40-45 mpg every tank as long as I go the speed limit.
It does everything it was designed to do.

Very happy with mine so far. It was bought to be our second car, and to be more reliable than the car it replaced (and with lower cost of ownership, etc.). But from the start I was surprised at the fit and finish of it, how solid it feels, and how well it drives... while still being reliable and fuel efficient. It's growing on me more every day.

I'M SUPER HAPPY,

THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT "YARIS" IS THAT...


I CAN'T HAVE A LB AND SEDAN AT THE SAME TIME!

I really love mine too! Last night was the first time I got to really test it out in the snow. I was a bit disapointed at its traction starting in snow from a dead stop. I'm sure better tires would improve this but otherwise it handles great once moving! MY mileage dipped to it's lowest yet this tank. 38.2 mpg. It's been cold. Gotta fiigure out a way to get back up over 40mpg in the cold!

Snow tires !!!

I live in the next town from you, and you know how much snow we got here more than 12 inches, I went out for a ride in 4-5 inches of snow on the roads, spoilers where just touching the snow. I had no problem! Snow tires make a big difference.

I sold the OEM tires they where usless in wet/snow conditions.

Well, plus the EPA is an estimate from an outside source (not Toyota).

They say it's under 'normal conditions', in which they must drive pretty erratic because I have rarely hit under 40 on the highway.
