B-Mode Explanation is _wrong_!
It is very common that people get it wrong. B enables Engine-Braking mode. It is only to be used on looong descents when the battery would be fully charged rapidly.
It will mainly save wear on the disc brakes.

The hybrid with the nuclear station in the background was really good.

''It almost cheaper than walking '' !! Amen !!

[rondhole]

B means Engine brake not recharge. Put to D and light brake you will get higher MPG. Never use B, B for Bullcrap

Brazil is calling Toyota Yaris to come here to stay :)

This man had absolutely no clue how the yaris' engine worked. As if he was almost disinterested to detail about it. This is why Brian Cooley's reviews differ to all the rest.

2:17 85.6mpg wtf? that's like double the economy than my 2002 honda fit lul they sure have improved a lot on economy

[eskomorko]

Wasn`t the B-position in gearbox for a mountain conditions...

[puchuu]

vaya panorama que tienes detras. muy ecológico...

The maximum limit for congestion charge exemption is 75g/Km CO2 but the Yaris specifications say 79g/Km. How does it avoid the daily congestion charge? Also, the video says Prius users pay congestion charge, which is not true for plug-in Prius models. Am I missing something?

Why does here in Canada the new yaris look so boring? they always have the best looking versions of cars here....

what's the name of the song? the one used at the beginning when showing the aygo?

[majorsnodgrassthethird]

His voice sounds like Honest John. His son perhaps?

[danieltaylor]

Cheap the walking... not any more. In uk 2014 hybrid 75000 on the clock cost around between 9k and 10k

[golkoorria]

the yaris doesn't pay congestion charge in central London!? why not?

[dg]

interesting little motor but what a dull video

[detective]

That´s one huge car lol... Then he stands next to it.

I cannot agree with this review, I have one as a company car and it is nowhere near as economical as they say.
I'm struggling to get 54mpg (I have a 104 mile daily round trip) I am very light on the accelerator and brake and in my previous car a fiesta diesel I managed 76mpg regularly.
The brakes are terrible, spongy feeling and more like a switch in operation either on or off. It has been back to the dealer twice already.
All in all I am very dissapointed with this car and I'm stuck with it for the next 4 years.

why have a nuclear powerplant in the background though?
