Toyota Yaris review | Consumer Reports

[alex]

I own this car. My only complain is an unconfortable soft gas pedal. Everything else in this CR review is BS. The engine is not loud. It makes some noise because it has a timing chain (not belt), which is better for me, since there is no need to change it. Handling and speed is great. Parking is great. It is difficult to change the cabin air filter, though. You need to remove the glove compartment to do it, which requires force. Overal, it is a great car.

Laughable review. I get 38 MPG highway commute, consistently - because I've mastered how to drive it (and no...not like an old man). Sure road noise is above normal, but you just turn up the radio. I had a mini cooper and in comparison, it's not a cooper, but it's still a sure handling, tight little car with no squeaks or rattles. Reliability is off the charts. just touch the key and it starts right up. My son is a Toyota mechanic at our local dealership, and let me know I scored a very solid car...they dont see many come in for repairs. BTW, I picked my up used, 12, 000 miles out the door - $7200. Power windows, AC, AT PS PB. Happy as hell.

I love this car I have a 2008 with 120, 000 runs and drives like new love it

I currently have one as a rental in Florida. Its nothing fancy, but around the city it is peppy. Highway, however, not so much. I like the radio and find that it puts out ok sound. The biggest thing that bugs me, is no arm rest! Other than that, I don't mind it. I'm 6'3" and 250 pounds. I don't find it that cramped at all.

CR hates the yaris from the first generation of which I own. Lies, this is a great car and rock solid reliability. This car is actually made in Japan unlike many Toyotas that come from the USA or Canada.
I remember they also hated any and all Saturns in the 1990s. I owned two and they were fun quick and well made.

What is CR's beef with this car, there is another review of the 2007-2011 model and they rip it anew one as well. I own a 2010 2 door and I find it to be a great, reliable, cheap to run car. It does what it was designed to do.

did not say anything about much higher warranty and reliability that rivals

This review is very negative. I own this car (the L version) and have over 103, 000 miles on it. I do take it to the dealership to service it every 5000 miles. The only thing I have had to to replace on the car was new tires and front headlamps! I still get 36mpg combined with this car. The one thing the reviewer is right about is the noise from the engine. But I always have my radio on so don't hear it! Other than that its a great little car! Hope to have it for another 100, 000 miles. Will be sad to part with it!

Consumer Reports I have come to realize I will be a much happier driver if I do the opposite of what you tell me or if I ignore you altogether. Thanks for being ignorant and biased! and it's Y-AH-ris not Y-air-is.

But the Yaris (and all Toyotas btw) are really really reliable.

I own this car. For one, If the guy can't even pronounce it properly, How you can you take his advice? He doesn't even do his homework on the pronunciation of the name. Also, opinions are always going to be based on the person saying them. Just as I'm saying I love my car. That it's fun and gets around 35 MPG in city. That if I use premium gas it actually has a bit more pep than it originally lets on....

[likeslunch]

Haha, okay I'm all for honest reviews, but this guy literally had nothing positive to say at all. I'm not saying the review was biased, but it did leave that impression.

[secretAsianMan]

You say a Corolla is better
I hope you mean the Manuel transmission one. The CVT
Transmission on the Corollas
are failing prematurely . The repair job is so expensive it may cost more than the car is worth . Maybe the Yaris doesn't handle as well but at least the automatic transmission works.

[Tuppoo]

32 mpg? You really need to push a car like this hard to get that bad fuel economy.

[Shand]

What a poor review. "...Lighted at night...", I think the word you're looking for is illuminated. It's a great little car for the sector it is aimed at.

[HyprBee]

I don't even like the Yaris but damn he hates it lol

[moretorque]

review sounds very biased, I wonder how much he got paid for this review..
