Consumer reports rates the 2012 Yaris as one of the worst cars of 2012. Here

Toyota Yaris

The original Yaris hatchback scored a dismal 52 out of 100 points in our road tests. Still, that looks good compared with the redesigned 2012 model, which dropped to 41. This spartan hatchback subjects you to a noisy cabin, uncomfortable seats, and a cheap-looking interior. It’s also slow to accelerate and has a choppy, uncomfortable ride. One redeeming quality is its excellent fuel economy of 32 mpg overall.

Really can't argue with any of that, of course I didn't buy mine for exceptional comfort or ride. I bought mine, I daresay like many here, for dependability and gas mileage.

On a recent roundtrip to Ohio, 1450 miles, I averaged over 43mpg.

cheers
