2011 Toyota Yaris Four door lift back 4 cylinder

Summary:

Best of the small cars

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

Great acceleration. Got 41 MPG with 30% highway and 70% city.

Bought a center console arm rest and a rubber guard for back bumper top on the Internet. Saved $300 over dealer cost and they were easy to install.

Very roomy cabin. I weigh close to 300 lbs and it has a ton of room. Easy to get in and out of. Fold flat back seats that also recline are super. If you fold the seats, there is a flip up and over panel that covers the hole made by the seats being folded. Seat is firm, and I use a cushion on long trips.

Very tight turning radius. It is quieter than my 2010 Mariner or 2010 Expedition. We tow it behind our RV on a dolly. Fun to drive and looks great.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Does the driving position bother you? I constantly read how people say it's awkward and irritating. I have an 05 Echo, the predecessor to the Yaris. I've never had a problem with the driving position, or the centre mounted gauges that are also in the Yaris. Is the driving position that bothersome or different from an Echo? I love my car, and want a Yaris if or when it dies.
