Basic Transportation - 2008 Yaris Sedan

by nad_masters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100
Apr 02 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: gas mileage, cute and kinda sexy styling, peppier than Aveo
Cons: Space - or lack thereof.
The Bottom Line: If you must be frugal, mind as well look good doing it.

Those who have read my automotive reviews, they are normally the performance-oriented kind. Even when I was going for something more street-worthy, it had to be something that performed just as well on the autocross circuit as well as livable on a daily ...

I didn't buy a 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan, I settled for one

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Aug 18 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good gas mileage; Toyota reliability; surprisingly roomy; stylish
Cons: No frills; no telescoping wheel; average acoustics; misplaced instrument panel; over priced
The Bottom Line: If you don’t need a car with a lot pep and want good gas mileage the Yaris might be for you, just get the highest trim level possible.

When I purchased my 2006 Honda Civic I waited months to write a review of it, but this time around I’m writing a review of my new car before I’ve even had to re-fill the gas tank. I’m not too crazy about it and I’m actually having ...

Love this car!

by detailer628
Oct 14 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price $15,400 fully loaded, fuel economy, Toyota quality. 8 air bags.
Cons: Funny center dash, but it is easier to use.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car-still made in Japan, and if it is anything like our other Toyotas it will run 250K with minimal problems.

I needed to replace my wifes Toyota truck, and as she had been using it as a commuter (20MPG or less) we deceided that a car would be a better choice with fuel prices the way they are. We wanted to stay with Toyota, as we have owned 4 and they have ...

Unique little buggy

by scaredguy
Feb 19 '08 - Updated Feb 25 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: decent power, good mpg, tight suspension, good for city driving, comfortable seating
Cons: new car smell, claustrophobic interior, very noisy and harsh ride.
The Bottom Line: Best for city driving and not for extended highway driving

Cute looking little car, with very little wasted space. On the inside there are many storage areas in a car so small. There is even two glove boxes, one in the traditional location and one in front of the steering wheel. The hatchback is very ...

The return of the fun economy car.

by DesignSmith
May 23 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: MPG, storage bins, style, interior layout, hatchback utility, ease of maintenance, owners web forums
Cons: view through rear window, option pricing and availability, seat bottom comfort
The Bottom Line: The most enjoyable ride for the minimum amount of fuel of the few economy class cars on the road.

To be honest, I didn't want to give up the utility of my Suzuki XL-7 small SUV, but at $3.75/gallon, the fuel savings on the Yaris makes the loan payment, and at $4 I am saving money each month. If you liked the old Civic hatchback (CRX or ...

Yaris is a great car...maybe...

by planetiowa
Oct 02 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good value and reputation.
Cons: Possibly not comfortable on your legs.
The Bottom Line: If you can stand it, you'll probably love it.

I read a review from a fellow who was 6'4". I'm not quite that tall. I'm at least 6'2", I figure. I'd like the car if my legs felt comfortable. Lack of comfort was why I traded off the Echo. In that car, the window crank knob stuck into one knee. The ...

Bought eyes wide open - 2 dr hatchback
by priestp1  
Jul 20 '08 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Gas mileage, private storage, flexibility (hatchback)
Cons: Seats (lumbar support), noise, ride
Good value with the car. We were able to take our Rottweiler to the vet with no problems. Car gets great gas mileage for the buck. Compare to hybrids, this car maximizes value. The car is small, noisy, and feels every bump as compared to other small cars in the class. If you are looking for luxury - this is not your car. I would recommend knowing your requirements and taking a test drive.

Awesome gas mileage, 2 consoles, water bottle holders in the dash. We purchased the extended warranty (we keep our toyota for 10 years). This is our 3rd Toyota (1995 Tercel, 2004 Matrix (we still own), and 2008 Yaris)
