I bought this car to commute. It is great for commuting and is great on gas. I was getting 36 mpg and driving 80 miles round trip 5 days a week. No maintenance issues and all I had to do was clean out the air filter and get the oil changed and tires rotated.

Performance - acceleration fair, braking better than average, handling good Build Quality - No problems from what i can see and hear. Appearance - interior styling loads of space and tidy and exterior styling very cute. Cost of Ownership - gas mileage average7.69l per 100km, maintenance under $120 Fun Factor - Not fast but nice turning circle Great city car, zippy, rearSway bar a must!! would buy another for sure!!!

I just bought the 2009 Yaris, a few months ago.It had 18 miles on it, and now has 3,300. I have noticed the more I drive it, the more the Power, and Pep DEFINITLY pick up. After the first 500 miles, to my Surprise, the Acceleration improved greatly, the turns are tight, and the Breaking is clean, & strong. Gentle pressure is all that is needed. The Interior is more than enough as far as Leg room, because of the movable front seats. and Cargo area is nice. I put the 2 back seats down & keep it that way. I can load groceries, carry tools, Lunches... I threw in a Blanket, and cover up things such as Magazines, Flashlight, etc. Gas mpg runs 34 in city 37-39 on Freeways. And I have had no problems with Squeaking or Rattling with this car. All of this, and I still get Compliments from strangers. It is one of the best cars I have owned {from Ford, to Chevrolet}-- and would recommend the Yaris to anyone who wants Fun, Style, & Reliability.

Performance: Very Good (1500 CC, 102 HP, VVTi Engine Tehnology) Build Quality: Excellent (So Light) (fast speesds in windy environment is not recomended) Appearence: Very Good (Stunning Interiors) Cost: Cheap (EGP 80,000+) (it saves a lot of fuel) Fun Factor: yes

2009, 2010, & 2011 Toyota Yaris were completely manufactured in Japan, no American or South American sub-assemblies were used during assembly, hence these model were EXCLUDED in all the 2011 Toyota Recalls. I drove my car out of the Dealership & never had to return it for Service because anything was malfunctioning or not working as it should. My 2009 4-Door Sedan (Base ) included a 5-Speed Manual transmission & all the bells & whistles except for the Cold Weather package. I now have 106,000 miles on the odometer & have gotten 40+ miles per gallon for as long as Ive owned it. My car has always passed the Emission Control Test every year here in Nevada & Arizona, no problem. The only maintenance has been routine oil/filter changes, air filter changes, replacement of hazed over headlight housing & new rear shock absorbers in October 2023. If Id personally designed a car & wanted it manufactured it would like the Yaris & include everything mine came with.
