Brilliant review - Short, funny and to the point.

I love my Yaris. So reliable, very quick. I love that Toyota doesn't charge extra for safety. Many times I would look at other cars but I keep coming back to Toyota. It's a people's car really.

TBH, when I look at the new Yaris and the Jazz ... both are pretty much the same in terms of power (both were refreshed with new engine and slightly different front grille in late 2023), same fuel consumption, same size category.
IMHO, Jazz is a bit quieter with less disturbing "CVT noises" and bigger on the inside. The biggest difference is styling and theoretical reliability, that should be, even in the case of Jazz, pretty much excellent.

Hard to pick one, I would personally pick Jazz (not the lifted Crosstar version), but it would be just because it feels more comfortable to drive, there is more room in the back and windows are enormous with excellent visibility.

Sadly, Toyota discontinued the Yaris in the US (and Canada, but still sold in Mexico). Last model was the 2020 before the overhaul and the 3 cylinder engine. Just when they turned it into a fun little car.

Here it's 24k for the basic model. I have 21k Skoda fabia and 22k Ibiza Seat. And 22k Hyundai i20. But i started thinking about this now because of the high miles i do in the city. I rarely go out. And this one would be very economical. Very fuel efficient. Let's say this wasn't the case tho. What are your pick from these cars?

We've got one since last week and it is really brilliant. We still have to get used to all the safety equipment etc. though.

Greetings from Australia. I enjoyed your informative, no nonsense review. Could you make a short video highlight of the 2024/ 2025 Yaris Cross, with, I believe, not an ordinary cvt but an E-cvt?
Thank you, 🥂

Loved the review! ...might be a stupid question but can i ask whats that green light on the right hand side of the dash do?

So the 208 is being burned because it’s French? That’s just plain BS. The interior of the 208 is pure art and lets you believe you drive a much bigger car. The Yaris is a solid reliable car, but the interior is plastic fantastic and just boring.

3-cilinder engine. To avoid at all cost.
