Great safety features for a small car.
Very reliable! The back up camera is great and it drives very smooth. It is a small car but ranked very high in safety features! I feel very safe in this car. The gas mileage is unbelievable as well! Great for someone who does not have a family and just needs a small car!

The tommy small car that takes me everywhere.
I've had this car for 3 years now and it's my primary car for work and short trips mainly because its compact and can fit in the smallest parking spot. It uses almost no fuel which means I have more money to spend on the kids. Even though its compact its really roomy and fits all four of us inside.

The car has a rear facing camera.
It is a wonderful car. It is very good in gas. The paint is awesome and it has a lot of safety features like a rear facing camera.

Fits in the smallest of parking spots and is easy to parallel park.
I live in Chicago. I need a small, zippy car to get around and be able to park anywhere. The Yaris is perfect for that.

Nice, comfortable, & very reliable Toyota Yaris!
I have had my 2016 Toyota Yaris for almost 2 years now. I really love it & it is very reliable. No issues except one that has happened so far is the back end left side, pops off... But easy fix! I have had literally no other problem. Also it is easier to maneuver then some other cars I have noticed...& it is very comfortable. A good car indeed.

Great gas mileage without extra price of hybrid.
I have loved this car--it's reliable, sturdy, has good gas mileage, and fits a surprising amount of things for a small car. It is not fancy, nor does it have extra features, but gets the job done. It is been a solid, straightforward vehicle that is good for long distances and some rough terrain while camping. The car is perfect for someone of my height, but any friend who has driven it and is 6 feet tall or over feels cramped.

Negative Owner Reviews

Not a lot of storage space.
Lots of little issues. Love the hatchback and the fact that the back seats fold down make for a lot of space to transport things. The car has certain blind spots (in the front) that you have to get used to. Not very much storage space in the front (does not have a center console) which is something I miss about my old car.
accountCircle Tomer S
A boring but functional car.
Cannot put my finger on it but the driving experience is not great. A bit annoying. The car drives well, but something is lacking. It is boring. The car didn't give me any troubles and I didn't need to take it to the garage due to malfunction. It is rather small and not a lot of room in the back. It can get into small parking, but that is about the only advantage of this car. It drives rather smoothly.
accountCircle Garrett F
Great mileage and handles ok, but don't expect to win any races.
It's a compact car with great gas mileage but it doesn't have a whole lot of power. It gets me where I'm going and that's about it.
accountCircle Lucy P
Great economic care, minor issues
It's perfect to park into small places, but if you are on the bigger side it can be a little small at times. Compared to the older models this one feels a bit more roomy. One bad part about it is when you go through a dip, the front bumper hits the floor. I had a piece from the bumper come off. It's a little noisy when it's at a stop.
accountCircle Hubert L
Important considerations after several years of driving.
Suitable for small families as the model's capacity is not large enough to carry lots of pages. Being a product of Toyota brand means it usually consumes less amount of gasoline per miles compares to other brands. If you are a careful driver, hardly have you have the car maintained as it is very sustainable.

Toyota Yaris is the best vehicle around.
The Toyota Yaris is fuel efficient & roomy for such a small car. I have taken many trips in the vehicle. The air is great and the heat is amazing I would recommend this car to anyone who wants to save money on gas and have a great car. I love the Toyota Yaris and when to get another car I will go with Toyota again.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Olivia W.

It is so small that it makes parking in tight spots easy. It gets great gas mileage. I personally think it looks really cute. When I will need repairs in the future, the cost is usually on the lower end because the parts are cheap. It is an economy car.

likeFilled Jayy W.

The car is small, but has enough space for 5 and also includes a good size trunk. Driving is smooth and the features in the car are easy to navigate. For the price, I would say that it is definitely worth it!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Olivia W.

The car can feel cheap. My sister sat on the bumper and it partially came unhooked. It was an easy fix but the bumper felt cheap. It is so tiny that I wouldn't be able to take more than 1 or 2 people on a road trip.

dislikeFilled Jayy W.

The car does not have a radio or a personal mirror for the driver or passenger side of the car (although this is not something I necessarily mind). Opening the hood and trunk can sometimes be challenging.
