It's better than you think
It is always starting, no matter what weather. Fuel economy.
It is bigger inside than you think. You can load a lot.
It is a reliable car. If you want a small car but feels big, this is the one.

Good first car
This car is easy for maintenance, and has had no major repairs required. it is good on fuel and picks up pretty fast. its quite small however which can be an issue for driving in the winter. Main repairs have included issues with the ABS and belt issues.

Awesome, economical car
We have been nothing but pleased with this car. We LOVE where the speedometer is located. The only thing we wish was that it has a little more horsepower for quicker acceleration on the highway.

It's was great ridding this car!
Hello,

This car is great for fuel economy, has low Km and is good for ridding in town or travelling.
Since bought from Toyota Canada I never had problem with it. All the maintenance is done regularly, and the car is ready to do.
The remote start system is great during winter to heat the car before you get in, it is also equipped with air conditioning and heat, plus a securuty alarm system.

I had a very good experience ridding this car!

Best Little Car from 2008
I like my Cars and this one is really one of the best little cars you can get hands down its quick its nimble great on the high way and doesn't eat up your hard earned money although the interior is only ok its still comfortable. We also had a very rough winter last year as this car was able to make it without needed to be pulled out of the snow yet big trucks all around us where getting stuck it shows you how good the drivetrain is. so i do like it but i also think it could look better it looks like a little turtle.

AWESOME FAMILY CAR!!!
We've done 2 major (30 hour) road trips with 2 adults and 2 preteens in our 5 years of owning our Yaris. LOADS of trunk space for suitcase+ and EXCEPTIONALLY comfortable seats for long trips. NEVER had a problem with it.

Great little car for getting around
We bought our 2008 Toyota Yaris hatchback from Toyota dealership. We choose it over the Nissan Versa because the breaking system was superior, and there was a $1000 Government rebate at the time for it as it is a low emission vehicle. We have driven it up to Orillia Ontario many times, and tested it's breaking in some very bad winter conditions. Not only does it stop on a dime, it is also able to make a turn while the breaks are on. Compared to my sister's Honda Pilot, the Yaris drove better in the winter.

We have had no issues with this vehicle, and because we bought at a Toyota dealership, we get oil changes free for as long as we own the car and take it to the dealership for service. When we bought the Yaris, we did not have any children, but now that we have two children, we have found the Yaris to be good in that car seats install easily, and the doors are large enough that you can easily pick your children up and out of the car, or put them in. The trunk is large enough for my hockey equipment, and with all the seats folded down, and the front seats as far forward as they could go, we fit our entertainment centre from IKEA into it. Unbelievable! This car is also amazing in the city as you can park it in tiny spaces, and as was said before, you can stop on a dime.

AMAZING vehicle
I commute to work everyday, and have never once felt like my vehicle is unrealiable, in all weather conditions. Never have had any maintenance issues, and how long I can go on one tank of regular unleaded fuel is amazing and extremely affordable.

Best car I have ever owned
This is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Never had any mechanical issues with it. Oil changes have always been done in time and aside from a little wear on the interior and rear bumper it is in excellent shape.

Comes with a USB ready CD player/am-fm radio

Perky Reliable and Efficient little car
The Toyota Yaris is not a luxury vehicle. It is not designed for high winds on a very snowy day. It is designed for fuel efficiency, reliability and versatility. We love our little car, that can act like a big car for cargo space when you fold the rear seats down. It has more inside storage than most mid sized and large cars. And, although the Yaris retains it value over the years we will be keeping ours for years to come, or at least 300,000 km.

Great commuter
This is perfect for anyone that's looking for a simple commuter car. The sedan has a comfortable interior to drive others around, while the hatchback is not as much but still pretty decent. The engine is not very big so don't expect to go very fast uphill with a full load.

Toyota reliability and excellent fuel economy, average 400+km per tank, I've hit 500 once. 'nough said.

My Yaris is the best - I am not worried to drive anywhere because it is so dependable. I have the RX package and it is so cute looking, too. I do the regular maintenance and have never had a problem.

Smart Choice
Smart choice for a car. Cheap on gas, fuel efficient, and has alot of space. Atleast the Sedan has alot of space. This car does everything a larger sedan can do, but saves you gas. It even allows for 5 adults to sit without any problem, which is amazing! Best thing about the car, is its parking. I have never parked a car as easily as this car. Excellent choice!

Well worth the money
I have had this car (2008 Toyota Yaris) for just shy of 1 year. I was looking for a reliable vehicle that gets me great gas mileage. I drive constantly through city traffic each and every day for my job, and I have only had one issue with this car. Just recently it became winter where I live. Shortly after the first snowfall, my interior dashboard lights stopped working. I haven't looked into why yet, but I'm sure it's not a big deal. The only other thing I could say about the Yaris is that it takes some getting used to since the speedometer, etc. is all in the middle of the dashboard, as opposed to being behind the steering wheel as normally located. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great car
Great gas mileage , very practical car. Good family vehicle for travelling, and commuting to and from work. Kids love it - favourite choice for our sixteen year old who has just started driving. She would rather drive the Yaris than our Mustang GT!
