Toyota Yaris Review

Mike Gurr reviews the Toyota Yaris subcompact hatch. The Yaris uses a 1.6L 4-cylinder and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Yaris is a favourite of people who need basic transportation in a practical hatchback design. The Yaris has a simple interior and seating for 5-passengers but it is best for 4-people.

Love my old 2007 Yaris. Ridiculously reliable. All I've had to do to it is get the brakes done, tires, fluids and the other expected upkeep for any car. At over 150, 000 k's it's still running smooth.

I’m 6 foot, and I love this car, comfy, great on gas and easy to park, I bought 2 of them, plan on keeping for at least 10 years

Best small car ever made. This guy is a little hasty on this car it does everything you will ever need.

I genuinely don't understand how no Android auto and no Apple car play can be a deal breaker for some people. Just use the content on your phone and the bluetooth feature and you're in business.

I drive an 07, and only one set of brakes thus far!! Ultra reliable and great on gas!! No signs of letting up. I still the echo on the road as well. I agree no frills, but again it's a Toyota and super reliable!!

Just love this reviewer. Great at getting to the pros and cons. Wished it was compared to the competition a little more but still a great job

The single windshield wiper is a cool and unique feature.

Why are all car journalists more than 6 feet tall and they find every car they review uncomfortable???😂😂

[Andrson]

Really enjoying your reviews, Mike. Keep it up!

The audio has gotten much, MUCH better. Keep up the excellent work!

I am only 5 feet and I feel very comfortable on the driver seat. I love the high driver seat

I'm a tall driver and I feel better with the seat lowered and set back, and because of that my sitting position is also a little lower so I also have good headroom. I agree the steering wheel lacking a telescopic feature is a problem for tall drivers and I was able to get in a good enough comfortable position by not letting the seat be leaned back too far, but it would be easier and I could have more driving positions if it had that feature, though then my view could be getting kind of low. I also have a longer arm span than most people even for my height so the lack of telescopic steering wheel might be even more of a problem for other tall drivers than myself. I find the seats comfortable for myself though. I guess I prefer firm seats but that varies from person.

I love this car. I compared it to the FIT and it was no contest. Had more features and better looks for the same money. And it is dirt cheap at about 15000 CDN pesos. To get a Toyota packed with technology like lane departure, and automatic high beams, etc., is amazing. It comes standard with technology that was on only German luxury cars just 10 years ago.

I am 50 and have never owned a car with tilt or telescopic steering nor would I ever expect one in an entry level city car. Never had a problem.

As someone who is 6'3 and owned a 2007 yaris. I loved it. Only issue was the acceleration onto the highway wasn't so great. I had 0 problems with it. Did the oil, brakes, spark plugs once and a couple batteries. Ran the think to 380, 000km only had to get ride of it cause I moved to Alberta from Ontario and for it to be allowed to be registered in Alberta I needed about, $3, 000 of work done on it (abs break replacement and a new muffler, old one was rusting out). So I bought the sonata. Huge mistake

We will have to make do with the SE until Akio sends the "Gazoo Racing" supercharged Yaris our way. This car desperately needs the manual to up the fun factor while simultaneously dropping the price. It also comes in a very chic two tone paint scheme which is appropriate for a car made in France. One odd thing about this car is the tire size with the SE - 195/50R16 as you won't have a lot of options when replacement rubber is due. Lastly, the world is waiting to see if the next Yaris will be built on the TNGA platform with IRS. That would be a whole new ball game.

Really great review covered all important relevant information.Subscribed.

This 1.5 103 Hp engine is 20 Years old, same with that 4 speed transmission.
It made its debut in 1999 Toyota Echo !

Great video Mike. Being a resident of GTA is not easy especially for cars, insurance is the highest in Toronto, Brampton, and Mississauga. I've been looking at this car and would most likely get it in a few years because insurance for me would be too high plus financial capabilities.

My 1988 Mercury Tracer ( Mazda 323 clone) had an independent rear suspension when are B Class cars finally going to get them again?

[AkioWasRight]

I had no idea the Yaris hatch was so popular in Canada. They sell nearly as many in Canada as they do in the US.
