Maris M

It does not come in a lot of colors. Excellent amount of trunk space.

No problems so far, love the sound system and great gas mileage even in the city. Good compact car for city drivers.

Jay C

This car last a very long time and it is very fuel efficient.

Amazing car, great with gas, super reliable, the seat are comfortable as well, and Toyota standard warranty provided with purchase really makes a huge difference for semi-annual services. You do not pay anything out of pocket when you are covered under the warranty as well. They offer great deals and if a situation goes wrong with your car, fixing is a breeze.

The Yaris still manages to look quite stylish compared to other models in class.

The Toyota Yaris has been name the country most reliable. Easy to drive, cleverly designed and should offend anyone it's handles and rides fairly well. The Toyota Yaris is a definite buy subcompact category. He Yaris is an excellent commuter car, especially for those who will primarily be driving in the city.

Cailen F

Good car for college students or those on a budget.

Overall, no major issues. Little lackluster on the power front but I was aware of that already so I expected it. Excellent gas mileage and nice interior for the cost. Excellent handling and road feel, really drives like a car above its class. Decent sound system.

Sandra H

The car that fits me and rides beautiful.

Like the size, it fits me. Very comfortable seats, great mileage. I do not like I do not have a arm rest, or a sunroof. I miss that very much. One main thing is there is no where to listen to my books on tape that I use when I drive. I like the color choices and the four doors and head rests are great.

Sarah B

Great car, awesome on gas, could be more spacious.

I love how great the Yaris IA is on gas! I can fill up the tank and it lasts me two weeks going back and forth to work, running errands, etc. The only issue is that the inside is very small. The car seat for my baby just fits. If you plan on having children, I would opt for something bigger interior wise. Other than that, the car runs great, is great on gas, and I haven't had any issues in the two years I have owned it.

James Y

The Yaris has a sleek interior, user-friendly features, great fuel economy.

The Yaris acceleration, braking,steering, and handling behavior land it slightly above most of its competitors. The Yaris has a sleek interior, user-friendly features, great fuel economy, and an above-average predicted reliability rating. It is also agile and enjoyable to drive. The Yaris is the least-expensive model in the Toyota lineup, yet it is loaded with standard features, making it a good value in the subcompact car class.

Toyota Yaris 2018 review.

The car drives well, gets good gas mileage, and has no current mechanical issues. The car is able to go 375 miles on one tank of gas. The car is small but it perfect for a starter car or for an individual. The car is inexpensive compared to others in its class.

Negative Owner Reviews

John Waters

It’s a piece of trash

The car is a pop can on wheels and a giant pos I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and the resale is trash I wish I’d never purchased one ?

Joan M

Great gas mileage and large trunk area.

It is very uncomfortable I have longer legs so the seat does not come far enough up my leg. I drive a lot and my legs get numb after a long drive. As for everything else it is a nice car. I have the navigation and I get really good gas mileage. The trunk is also really spacious. Back seats are cramped not much room for adults to sit back there.

Becky Sharp

IA bad handling on road in wet weather

I think there’s a problem with toyota IA design Because we have had a number of problems with ours on the road in wet weather it does not do well at all and on The 17 July my daughter and I got in a very bad car accident because of the design of the car was going about 45 on the interstate and it spun out of control in the rain when It hydroplaned and spun around five times then rolled twice and then hit a tree and that’s not the first time It hydroplaned we have had a number of problems with ours. This car is not good in wind either. Just a scary little car. But great on gas

Saul K

Costs more to fix than it is worth.

The car is small in nature and it gets you where you need to go, the only setback is the manual windows. It does not make a big difference but in comparison to newer cars, it is not the most luxurious. The car has had to be taken to the shop countless times for the same issue and I would recommend saving yourself the money and buying a newer make or another Toyota car. It is a good company but an old and very much overused car.

Zoe D

Great gas mileage but poor acceleration.

It is like driving a lego. The car has poor acceleration and makes me nervous driving on the interstate. Came from a larger much more powerful sedan and want to go back to one of those. On a positive note gas mileage is great, cheap to fill up the tank, and easy to park especially with the backup camera assist.

Michael L

This vehicle is wonderful!

It is great! I actually really enjoy the vehicle. Great trunk space, fuel efficiency, and perfect for the family. It is absolutely amazing. I would 100% recommend to anyone who asks! When it comes to performance and reliability, the vehicle had it all.

Tyler P

Yaris good on gas but very small.

It just a really small car that doesn't have a lot of space but no major problems and great on gas. The tires are I think sixteen inches which is a odd size and hard to find so you have to order them and they are a little pricey. So you don't want to go off roading in it. You want to be take it easy and you'll get the most out of it.

Harry G

Good car but minor inconveniences for the price paid I would expect more from toyota

Good gas mileage but very small gas tank so I have to stop for gas more often than I like. No CD player in car even though it is an upgraded model. Only have 2 cup holders but the car seats 5 people so that is not nearly enough.

So far so good. The more I drive my little iA the more I love it. Haven't had any issues and drives pretty smooth. Very decent and affordable car!

Tara B on May 23, 2021

Nice looking car! Spacious trunk!

It is a really nice car. I had a Prius before and it is obviously not as quiet as a Prius. But it drives really nicely and it is spacious. I like the sound system and the way it looks on the outside. I just purchased it a couple of months ago and so far I really like it. The trunk is very spacious as well.
