- www.autobytel.c... The 2013 Toyota Yaris is part of the increasingly popular subcompact car segment. These vehicles combine excellent fuel economy and the low base prices into one appealing package. The Yaris is now in its 3rd generation and is sold as both a 2 and 4-door hatchback. For 2013 the sedan configuration has been dropped from the Yaris line-up. This little subcompact car is safe, versatile, fuel efficient, and affordable with a base starting price of only $14,370.
The Toyota Yaris has is origins way back in the year 1999 with the Echo. The Echo enjoyed a bit of success thanks to the lack of competition. Fast forward to 2013 and this subcompact car segment is packed full of great competitors. This 3rd generation car has gone through a couple of iterations but the practical hatchback design has stood the test.
The engine that powers the 2013 Toyota Yaris is nothing revolutionary. The 1.5 liter 4-cylinder makes 106 horsepower and 105 lb-ft. of torque with fuel economy figures of 30 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. Transmission choices are between a 4-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual.
Some other competitors in this segment are the: Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, and the Mazda2. A couple of those cars feature a direction injection engine while others feature a 6-speed transmission. The Yaris may be a bit behind the times but what separates the little Toyota from the competition is the great resale value and reliability.
If you are looking for a functional and reliable car that is going to serve a purpose, the 2013 Toyota Yaris does it as well as anyone.

I've owned a corolla for years and loved it never had any problems I traded it for my yaris because I wanted something different looking and so far the yaris has been excellent
Hello! How did your Yaris hold up over time?
I love my Yaris. It gets me from point A to point B with out using a lot of gas.
what about point C
?
***** my Toyota gets from A to Z with no problem and its from 2006 still running and a friend of mine has a 2000 TOYOTA and it still runs with no problem again runs from point A to point Z
i have a 98 camry with 180k miles and NO PROBLEMS but I decided to get a 2014 Yaris and same story, and I love it ALOT better smaller, easier to handle and drive and cheaper on gas. small cars FTW!!!
+pdmftw1 Im about 2 years late on this comment, but I have a 2000 Camry now, and thinking about getting this or the 2014 model. do you still have this car?
i have it still yes, it is a great a to b car and very easy to drive and awesome driving in a crowded city..
I test drove a Yaris purely on accident. It was a rental while my old car (2004 Kia Rio) was in the shop. Turns out that, to me, it's actually quite a fun car. I love how it gives just enough acceleration when I need it. It doesn't feel cheap or unreliable like some of the other cars I've looked into. I tested a Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, Kia Rio, and Chevy Sonic. All I can say is don't always judge a car by professional reviews (Non-owners). What fits one, doesn't fit all.
been watching ur videos for a long time and i must say this dude speaks from his heart.
good job. i think these review videos make it easy to decide for a consumer what to buy.
Those old Echos are awesome
Very good review. Points out the faults but demonstrates that all other cars in this range has the same faults.
This was the main thing that helped
There is a 2014 Yaris Sedan model now of days, and it is worth checking out. I currently have a 2014 Yaris SE Hatchback and it has wonderful gas mileage (35/40 easy) and has all the little things you could want :D
It's honestly a very nice car and will last for years, since it is indeed a toyota - super reliable. Not to mention the warranty on it is amazing!
Drove a rental yaris car once from CA to AZ on december and wow! I actually really enjoyed driving it!! It felt comfortablly and I made it safe home after the trip! :)) now thinking if I shud buy it ^ ^
Go read up. Corolla is the number one selling name plate in the world. The 1.8 is legendary. Extremely reliable and durable. People say the Corolla is boring...who's the fool? Why fix whay isn't broken. The 2014 Corolla has been redesigned. Same motor. They know. Why create a new motor when what you have is so reliable and refined. The 1.5 in the Yaris is as durable and reliable as the 1.8 in the corolla. I am partial to Toyota cause reliabilty is my most important feature.
I test drive a yaris too, saw on at the dealership and thought let see what that cheap car is about, when i got in I was like wow, its really comfortable, smooth, and fun to drive, its quite speeding and feel like you're driving go kart. For an economy car, you really can't go wrong. it got radio, blue tooth, 4 seat and big trunk space and super MPG
hi, just bought this car. and was wondering can you connect your phone to the car so i can play music? thanks.
If all you want is an inexpensive and reliable car that will get you where you need to go, and drinks gas sparingly, the Toyota Yaris may very well be for you.
And don't forget about Toyota's badge of reliability.
+eternalhalloween1 Inexpensive? Well, not in Poland..
I agree not all of us have the money or need the bell and whistle, some of us don't live in our car, we get inside get from point A to point B and nothing more. All we need is a safe reliable car. I know more than a few people who household income is over 500k but they stick with good old corolla and camry
I have a 3 door 5 speed manual and let me tell you 2nd gear tops out at 60MPH accidentally found that out went from 3rd to 2nd while getting up to speed. 4th gear at 4500 RPMS you're sitting at 75 MPH, I'll be cruising in 5th gear on the interstate and have to slow down bc it will feel like I'm doing 75 and be pushing 100 😅
In the UK we have the 6 speed manual & CVT, the 6speed has a higher gear ratio for economy,i got the CVT & it's great.
Drove the 04 echo and it was really fun.
My 2007 Yaris hatchback gets an average of 38.5 mpg... That's a lifetime average. It has about 98000 miles logged now. Sometimes on a long trip I get as much as 43 mpg. I think the sticker estimates are a little too low. I use Mobil 1 oil in all of My cars. My Yaris is an automatic. I wonder what I could get with a 5 speed?
Okay, I am a bit of Toyota Kook. I have owned Lexus LS sedans, JDM models and they have all been great. We have an 07 Yaris 5 door, purchased in 07, and it has been great. Supple ride, good fuel economy. If your partner likes their Toyota, you are good for many years for car brain damage free living. :-) As Chico Marx asked, "Who are you going to believe me or your eyes?" :-)
Chevy Sonic impressed me for its power in small car, yes, it has some inconvenient little things but as fast fun car Sonic.
I think he meant that the 2014 Corolla is a complete refresh, so 2013 models have big incentives on them.
That has always been the main issue with the echo/yaris for me; I have to choose weather my legs or arms are comfortable, not both.
And they need to centre the speedometer again...
Despite being the oldest car in the segment (until next model year, at least) the Corolla is still the best selling car in the segment.
Hey but you can always make like WRC and swap in a 2zz ge and turbo it.
Unlike the Hatchback, the 2012 Yaris Sedan was a carry-over from 2011, and then took a leave of absence for the 2013 model year. Now that Toyota has released the updated Vios/Belta for 2014 in Europe and Asia, is the sedan coming back to North America for the 2014 model year, and if it does is it getting the new CVT transmission from the new Corolla or will it keep the (ancient) 4 speed auto that's in the hatchback now?
I owen a 07 yaris and 2014 yaris never have any problems
Update
@@jayislander 😀
what is so awesome about it, looks like an ordinary everyday shirt
Fit is the standard.
So between this and a Honda Fit, in your personal opinion, which is better?
Mazda 6 if you want a sexy fuel sipper.
Why are your shirts so awesome ?
does that guy come with the car
The corolla is being replaced? WTF? NO!!! I own a 2007 Yaris and it's ok and cheap.
I wouldn't expect a car in this size and price segment to run on premium
gas. Anyone who buys a car that requires premium then complains about it, is an idiot.
Can anyone please tell how much is the difference between the dimensions of this model vs the 1st one vitz.
no love for the Honda Fit?
like I said , I didnt say corolla does not sell good, I am saying the corolla is way too old and people still do not realize and afraid to give others a try
Does this have an inbuilt gps nav
The Corolla is getting replaced?! By what?! O_O
What about the tercel
I love the weird design =) its different =)
of course there are people who try other cars...for instance take this yaris. people buy yaris because they cant afford for a corolla, or some buy it as a starter. this is my opinion.
i dunno who will disagree with this...
dont be stupid mate....corolla is by far the best selling compact car in the world...
Does your yaris have door locks beeps?
If u mean alarm system then I think it does
BUBBLE BURSTING TIME!!!!!!
2012 Model Sales
Fit = 49,346
Corolla = 290,947
So yes a ton more people still buy the Corolla. Not Sure why though?
You are just too huge for the Yaris interior.
Hmm echo faced off with just the Chevrolet metro and Hyundai accent
Honda fit's mpg gets you only 33 mpg on the highway....mediocre mpg's
.....
oh u so smart . . . now you have a life
We got Honda Fit Love
watch?v=0tdeZ1isgEc
actually corolla sells very well but it is a plane jane of a car.
3:28 HONDA Yaris :D
a car for people who don't care about cars
What is happening inside Toyota design department? Are they drunk with cult-ism?
We know it sells very well, just saying ppl should realize that there are many cars doing much better than the stupid Corolla
how tall are you ?
The Honda Fit drives better!
try google
Get someone else, you're too big for the car
Rear ok. Front awful. What's happening to toyota designers?
Hello from the future. I'm sorry to say Toyota design has taken a bit of a turn
Right Here
watch?v=0tdeZ1isgEc
where is the Honda Fit? No one buys Toyota Corolla anymore, Yaris...maybe, but Corolla just a really stupid car since everyone else doing much much more better job than the Corolla.
ignorant
Car is but ugly. Soulless, passionless, boring. Japanese cars in a nutshell.
I could name many non japanese cars which are boring aswell.
Goddamn the Yaris looks ugly now :(
Horrible review. I do believe I heard some misinformation in there as well. It's definitely not only offered in a 5 door hatchback.
