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.
