    The all-new Toyota Yaris is the Japanese maker's entrant into the higly-contested supermini segment. Aimed directly at the Ford Fiesta and Honda Jazz, the new Yaris represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering an impressive range of innovative equipment and more interior space.

    Mt wife used to have one of this, it's been working for us like a gem.... bullit proof quality, easy on fuel and services, easy to park in narrow streets, and high resale value, yes it is a little boring to drive, for its price , what more do you want from it.....

    I use to own a Yaris before i upgraded to the Avensis and although the interior materials aren't on the same level of a VW (plastic rather than rubberized surfaces), the fit and finish was second to none. It was incredibly reliable, economical and drove well and the customer service was spot on. If i ever went back to a smaller car the Yaris would definitely be one to look at.

    Feel free to smash the wheel how many times you like, you'll not deploy the airbag doing that, in fact there are sensors on the front of the vehicle that trigger the airbag when there is a collision.

    My Dad has a Toyota Yaris 1.33 TR 5dr in blue and I have to say it is excellent, although the door cards can scratch quite easily, the rest of the car is brilliant. The engine feels quite powerful on the flat and it is very reliable.It has never broken down other than the odd battery going flat. Fantastic car well done Toyota

    My 2005 Yaris has comfortable suspension, it's why I bought it. Absorbs the lumps and bumps beautifully. I wouldn't try to throw it around a corner though.

    Hi Matt, when doing a turn in the road, try taking the turns off before you come to a stop. That way you wont need to force the wheels round when stationery, it will give you a tighter turning circle, its faster and it looks good.
    Good review as always.

    I bought a new shape yaris 3 days ago on a 61 plate, I looooove this car, its a cute metallic red and we named the car "Christmas", would recommend it to anyone

    • @eternalhalloween1
      @eternalhalloween1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's probably not a car I would buy for myself. But I have to admit it looked like a good solid practical car. What I found strange was that Matt said it handles big bumps well, but not so much small bumps.
      Anyway, I'm glad you like your Yaris (or should I say Christmas) so much. Red probably is a good color for it.

    • @dentheocean
      @dentheocean 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thank you for the comment. Had the brum 3 months now, 1 accident later, not caused by me though, I was devastated when some idiot woman hit me from the back. Christmas is repaired but his Christmas magic has disappeared with the repair. Still love the Yaris or there is no way I would have kept hold of it after the knock.eternalhalloween1

    As someone who owns a Mazda2 (which we bought to replace a previous generation Yaris), I would say the Yaris is overall the better buy. The Mazda2 is definitely more fun to drive, but taking everything into consideration (as this review has pointed out), this is the better car. The Yaris is definitely more economical on fuel. The Mazda2 also suffers the same negative points: blind spot at the A pillar and the ride in the Mazda2 is even worse (as a result of the 'sporty' handling)!

    The Australian version uses the much older 1.5VVTi which develops ~105bhp. The UK version has the newer and much cleaner 1.33VVTi which develops ~100bhp, so it is hardly "much more powerful" and certainly not quieter. The UK version is actually faster to 60mph because it's a manual 6 speed gearbox. Granted the auto box in the Aus version is a proper auto box and not a CVT. The 6.1"screen + 6 speakers is standard on all but the base model, although GPS is optional. Do you get the Hybrid version?

    I've had one of these for years now. It never goes wrong. It starts, it stops, it passes the annual mot test with flying colours. It's good on fuel and cheap for tax. I have the 1.3 and whilst no dragster it's quick enough and sounds surprisingly good accelerating. It's just an deal commuter car.

      @@dablackangel ah I understand. Yeah I got a 1 litre as a courtesy car when mine was in for service. It was too flat an slow for me. Gutless even. Now it's all subjective but for what it is the 1.3 vvti is quite nippy even on the motorway. The engine comes alive over 3500 revs and makes some fun noises for such a small car. I'd almost say it's rorty. Give one a test drive if you can.

    • @TheGramophoneGirl
      @TheGramophoneGirl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But do give it a bit of welly as it really does come into it's own past the 3500 revs IF you want to make it shift. Before that it's a sensible city car. It's no GTI, but it can be fun. It still handles like a city car though.

    My gf has the 07 1.8 yaris SR and swapped it out today for a top spec 2012 1.33 yaris. I have to say, with part leather, soft touch finishing, light steering, refinement and 6 gears to choose from, plus all the equipment. Its a fantastic little car overall. It's nimble In the corners too but frankly it's not as fun to drive as my fiesta.
    It's better looking than the old car and as for a camera on a small car, have you seen the parking skills of some people? They need all the help they can get!

    The Yaris for the US gets a false boot floor so the cargo area is completely flat when you fold down the seats. Maybe it's optional since I see the mounting points for it in the video. Also, the stereo featured in the review is much nicer than the ones we get in the states.
