- Mike Gurr reviews the Toyota Yaris subcompact hatch. The Yaris uses a 1.6L 4-cylinder and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Yaris is a favourite of people who need basic transportation in a practical hatchback design. The Yaris has a simple interior and seating for 5-passengers but it is best for 4-people.

Best small car ever made. This guy is a little hasty on this car it does everything you will ever need.
I’m 6 foot, and I love this car, comfy, great on gas and easy to park, I bought 2 of them, plan on keeping for at least 10 years
I see a lot of tall people drive this car. Why is that?
@@whoawoahh Hatchbacks have a taller roof compared to sedans, so tall drivers can utalize that added height inside the car without making contact with the roof.
@@whoawoahh I'm 6.3 and fit in my 2014 very confortably. It has more interior room than my 2008 c350
I genuinely don't understand how no Android auto and no Apple car play can be a deal breaker for some people. Just use the content on your phone and the bluetooth feature and you're in business.
Why are all car journalists more than 6 feet tall and they find every car they review uncomfortable???😂😂
Haha, that was my question too, all of them are more than 5'9'' and they always choose the smallest cars to do videos.
Lol
Because if a car can fit 6-footer beefy guys, it can fit pretty much everyone else too (unless you’re a football or basketball player).
Haha I was a car review journalist once upon a time and I'm 6'4"
Love my old 2007 Yaris. Ridiculously reliable. All I've had to do to it is get the brakes done, tires, fluids and the other expected upkeep for any car. At over 150,000 k's it's still running smooth.
Just love this reviewer. Great at getting to the pros and cons. Wished it was compared to the competition a little more but still a great job
Really enjoying your reviews, Mike. Keep it up!
The audio has gotten much, MUCH better. Keep up the excellent work!
Really great review covered all important relevant information.Subscribed.
The single windshield wiper is a cool and unique feature.
Oh for sure. A lot of people ask me if my Yaris is a Lamborghini. Uh, no they don't, and I would never own a Yaris.
Great review. Nicely done
I drive an 07, and only one set of brakes thus far!! Ultra reliable and great on gas!! No signs of letting up. I still the echo on the road as well. I agree no frills, but again it's a Toyota and super reliable!!
How many km?
200000km
Vista318, You haven't even broken the engine in yet.
Vista318 I hear it is very hard to find a comfortable driving position due to lack of telescoping steering wheel. What has been your experience regarding comfort and seating position?
Is it automatic or manual?
I am only 5 feet and I feel very comfortable on the driver seat. I love the high driver seat
My 1988 Mercury Tracer ( Mazda 323 clone) had an independent rear suspension when are B Class cars finally going to get them again?
I'm a tall driver and I feel better with the seat lowered and set back, and because of that my sitting position is also a little lower so I also have good headroom. I agree the steering wheel lacking a telescopic feature is a problem for tall drivers and I was able to get in a good enough comfortable position by not letting the seat be leaned back too far, but it would be easier and I could have more driving positions if it had that feature, though then my view could be getting kind of low. I also have a longer arm span than most people even for my height so the lack of telescopic steering wheel might be even more of a problem for other tall drivers than myself. I find the seats comfortable for myself though. I guess I prefer firm seats but that varies from person.
I love this car. I compared it to the FIT and it was no contest. Had more features and better looks for the same money. And it is dirt cheap at about 15000 CDN pesos. To get a Toyota packed with technology like lane departure, and automatic high beams, etc., is amazing. It comes standard with technology that was on only German luxury cars just 10 years ago.
I am 50 and have never owned a car with tilt or telescopic steering nor would I ever expect one in an entry level city car. Never had a problem.
Yesterday, I turned in my 2014 Corolla and did look at the Yaris..I decided against the purchase and went back to Corolla 2016. The lot had only 1 Yaris on the lot, which made me nervous, but being in a wreck really had me worried...how safe is it?
Great video Mike. Being a resident of GTA is not easy especially for cars, insurance is the highest in Toronto, Brampton, and Mississauga. I've been looking at this car and would most likely get it in a few years because insurance for me would be too high plus financial capabilities.
When are they coming out?
Thankful.
I wonder if the 5 speed manual makes a difference cause I'd imagine for 106 HP, you would want to get the most out of it.
This 1.5 103 Hp engine is 20 Years old, same with that 4 speed transmission.
It made its debut in 1999 Toyota Echo !
There is nothing wrong with tried and true tech.
what's the MPG (Miles per gallon) on real-life use ?
As someone who is 6'3 and owned a 2007 yaris. I loved it. Only issue was the acceleration onto the highway wasn't so great. I had 0 problems with it. Did the oil, brakes, spark plugs once and a couple batteries. Ran the think to 380,000km only had to get ride of it cause I moved to Alberta from Ontario and for it to be allowed to be registered in Alberta I needed about, $3,000 of work done on it (abs break replacement and a new muffler, old one was rusting out). So I bought the sonata. Huge mistake
Sounds like a typical life cycle of a Yaris. Hopefully the next generation will build on those strengths.

LOL
my son has my old 2008 yaris 130,0000 5 speed, bought a 2013 used elantra ...huge mistake later on found out it had a defective engine
We will have to make do with the SE until Akio sends the "Gazoo Racing" supercharged Yaris our way. This car desperately needs the manual to up the fun factor while simultaneously dropping the price. It also comes in a very chic two tone paint scheme which is appropriate for a car made in France. One odd thing about this car is the tire size with the SE - 195/50R16 as you won't have a lot of options when replacement rubber is due. Lastly, the world is waiting to see if the next Yaris will be built on the TNGA platform with IRS. That would be a whole new ball game.
Yaris GRMN with 212 HP.
SDH, Thanks for the advice. Any time Michelin does not manufacture a particular tire size I get nervous.
205/50/16 fits well
The new front end reminds me of a wild boar, with the chrome accents around the foglights resembling tusks. The headlights even look like menacing porcine eyes.
It reminds me of a styling concept gone very wrong. I wouldn't buy a new Toyota or Lexus based on looks alone, they have become laughably hideous.
The backs seats did not fall flat on the video :)
no 5 or 6 speed manual ?
I have a 2014 5 speed, Im 6'0" and love the seating position, I'm not on the ground like alot of older econo boxes.
The 5 speeds are much nicer on the highway too, I've cruised Windsor to Kingston at 115km/h for hours with no issues.
I heard people are complaining about the cluth... but isn't all the yaris from 2006 to present.. using a cable cluth instead of a hydrolic clutch??
I know that the cable cluth has a more black and white engament with barley any grey zone for engament, but it's more reliable and long lasting for the clutch!!
The speedo at 1:36 is not the speedo in the car you tested.
Needs to be updated...as in Ford's temperamental dual clutch 6 speed? No thanks.
I had no idea the Yaris hatch was so popular in Canada. They sell nearly as many in Canada as they do in the US.
The new Yaris sedan is virtually never seen on the road up here.
It's more popular here than it is in the US, but it's not that popular in general. Around 7,000 sales a years, which is ok for a small car, but compare that to the F150 at nearly 80,000 a year.
There was only 1950 yaris hatchback sold last year not exactly popular
My god the US one is massively limited, it loses so much spec from the one over in the UK
That 4 speed is bulletproof
S. D. H. Exactly! Too bad I wrecked this car 🚗 beyond repairable but solid and reliable the only thing that my engine has which was he 1nfz one was a timing cover leak that got fixed for 300 :)
Doesn’t a 4-speed put unnecessary strain on the engine at higher speeds?
it needs a 5th gear at speeds 80km/h and higher !
Agreed it's good. Sometimes shifts at awkward times but responsive overall
@@christianj252 I don't think so I did have to smash on the tiny little car to keep up with traffic tho lol 😆
0:05 Smiles in European AYGO
Looks like they made it without the rear wheels and then we're like, oh shit we need wheels in the back
Ah so this was probably the guy doing the x2 in the same spot a few weeks ago!
Yuri Tereshyn that wasn't me, but I've taken to this spot as an easy shot location in a pinch. Next time say "hi"!
Mike Gurr we were filming and it was super hectic. Next time!
Yuri Tereshyn
1/2 a Straight Pipe in the house! This guy needs the Yuri mustache to improve his credibility....lol.
Backup cameras are now required on all MY2018 vehicles sold in the US so that's not exactly a feature anymore.
Nice affordable subcompact car Nice first car gift to my granddaughter if the parents permit
Bong LIm, Just make sure you cross check the price of the Corolla iM vs Yaris hatch. Now that a new 2019 Corolla hatchback is on its way there may be some great deals coming up on the 2018 iM.
Someone introduce this guy to the GAZOO Racing supercharged Yaris hot hatch ....
They would have to send him to Europe to review the GRMN.
Did he say the car came with heated seated, but nit air conditioning? WHAT
you dont need ac in Canada but you sure need heated seats
review is great. Please bring your microphone closer next time. thank you.
around here, that thing is actually a grand or two more expensive than corolla
Pound for pound, the Corolla sedan is definitely cheaper.
Four months late I know, but Yaris (Hatch) sales in the US are abysmal, only selling about 10% as well as a few years before.
Canada sales are also horrible, but not as bad.
Many people aren't choosing the Yaris Hatch due to the Yaris IA and Prius C, both are better built, faster and in some cases, more reliable.
Not saying the Yaris Hatch is bad by any means, but it's overpriced and frankly outdated, there's no reason to not go for the IA or C, as price will be comparable.
(Not to mention Honda Fit, Mazda 2 hatch, Rio, Accent and others, which also beat the Yaris in literally every category, even reliability, and are about $1,000 cheaper)
Hopefully Toyota will do a total redesign of the Yaris soon because it's really dated and every car company has redone their sub-compact cars. At the same time, don't make the Yaris much bigger than what it is now.
Allow about a year for an all new Yaris on the TNGA platform.
Good car. but on the 2nd thought. I think i'll stick with my '93 Tercel sedan.
thank you.
This car will last 15 years easily.
This car has hardly changed since 06. It's all gone in design.
In this case, its a good thing.
If it's not broke why fix it.
Rent one before considering & buy used.
These cars hold excellent value . Always buy new .
give me some height dude
Isn’t this a rebadged Mazda? If so I’m not so sure about reliability. It will probably be a trust bucket after 3 years.
The Yaris sedan is made by Mazda in Mexico but this hatch is made in a Toyota factory in France.
My mom is short she will be fine in this car xD
Ugly and slow. But ULTRA reliable. That's why it still sells.
You lost me at ugly and slow. Most Japanese vehicles are ultra reliable, no issues with my Honda Fit or Mazda2, both of which are 10x more fun to drive than this boring, vanilla, shitbox, for people with no taste and even less personality.
I love the looks!
Please to all car reviewers please stop including back up camera as a feature
It’s mandated by law to be there ....
It’s like saying the car come with four wheels and you choice of paint ... enough already .
It's not mandatory by law here....
ITs not mandatory in Canada. That's for the US
Tough sell against a Honda Fit for my money ...
I agree, for an entry level basic A to B car I think the Fit is a much better choice.
They're barely even comparable. The only people who buy these are Toyota loyalists. No one with a brain would test drive a Yaris and a Fit back to back and choose the Yaris.
S. D. H. I respect Toyota reliability. The versatility of the Fit rear cargo area, especially the way the rear seats can be folded, is a major plus for me (was able to store my mountain bike in there by removing the front wheel, for example). I’m not personally a fan of CR reliability ratings, although in the general sense, they show an overall performance for various manufacturers. Glad you are enjoying your Yaris. My cousin is rabidly in love with hers! (BTW, good choice on the manual trans and the rear sway bar).
FIT has a lousy CVT
buildmorefarms100 Honda people know how to drive a stick!
i never know air condition was optional is that a joke ?
It is not included in the base model which is common with cars in the lowest price range.
Probably the only SUB COMPACT with proven 4 speed automatic. Beat that GM. The reviewer needs to change his driving style and opinion. This 4 speed is older than you lol. "this transmission is poorly suited to this application" sure Mr expert. All automatics can hunt gears if you don't change your driving style (Allison, GM 6 speed auto hydramatics, GM 10 speed auto, GM 4 speed auto). Maybe you should review sports cars with that "manly" stick shift. It will not constantly hunt gears unless you're a BAD driver.
bring zack back!!!
All new cars are unaffordable.
You're too big for this car..
4 speed automatic > CVT
Not in gas milleage. Mazda2 was fast for a subcompact but 28 mpg combined? Fuck that, Id might as well drive a mid size sedan. The CVT has gotten a bad rap from idiotic Nissan owners who never changed their cvt fluid or filters. Mitsubishi and Suzuki both use JATCO CVT7 and have way less documented evidence of premature CVT failure, worldwide. CVTs are reliable if programmed correctly, paired with a low torque & low curb weight vehicle, and properly serviced every 30k miles. Regular autos were more reliable im the sense you never had to do anything to them and they could be rebuilt, but they just ate up too much gas my nigga.
This came out in 2011 facelifted 2014 and 2016. Very dated technology..ie 4 stage
dude this car isnt for people who are 6 foot above! hahaha

Good review of an ultra boring ride.
Lol Mike gurr gets to review all the shitty cars
What acar is that.. so ugly.. yaris facelift much better i think
Go review overpriced Ferraris and BMWs.
Lol Zack gives you all the shit cars to review. While he does all the luxury ones.
Oceanic Flight Zack's got 25 years of experience and his name on the channel so I'm more than happy to learn the ropes on more mainstream cars ;)
Mike Gurr you're doing a great job man keep it up. Ignore the haters!
Oceanic Flight the brand is not shitty as ur bank account though #fact
When you buy that car you get a Mazda engine. .it's true ..it's a fake Toyota
the sedan is a Mazda the hatchback is still a Toyota
Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere, anything is better than the current gen Yaris (except the Mirage!).
Arcticarc1 better is a very subjective word. I think this Yaris is one of the most reliable car in its segment.. and for some people, this is the only criteria when it's time to buy a new cheap car.
It's a tragic car.
