Is the 2020 Toyota Yaris the BEST budget car or BUY a Corolla instead?

- The ALL NEW Toyota Yaris is here but may really surprise you. This new Yaris is a joint effort between Toyota & Mazda. Under the hood is a 1.5L inline-4 producing 106 HP & mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It is only available in a hatchback and essentially is a Mazda 2. The inside is actually quite spacious for a small car , but screams Mazda. Is the 2020 Toyota Yaris the BEST budget car or should you spend a little more and get a Corolla instead?

As you said in the end, this is why manufacturers should not discontinue making small cars as GM, Chrysler & Ford have. Not everyone can afford or needs a big expensive car.
I totally agree!
Davin Peterson
The price of new cars has gotten so high that it is no longer affordable to many.
There should be a class of ~$10K cars that are reliable; without all those electronic features crap!
@@oskarngo9138 get a lada niva from russia.
They’ll learn their lesson soon enough
@@oskarngo9138 Buy a new 2020 Chevy Spark LS. After manufacturer rebates and dealership discounts, you can buy it for 10 to 12k. Plus it still has apple carplay and android auto.
I’m glad you review all cars. Some people just go for expensive cars but you do it all. Thx it helps a lot!
You are so very welcome! I appreciate you saying that!
The GR Yaris is nice
Joe, it's nice to see that you are reviewing ALL types of cars not just the expensive ones. This and some of your other reviews are cars most people can relate to.
Thanks Steve! I do try to bring the variety!
Me too
Dude gets credibility points for saying things he'd like to see changed instead of everything's perfect like most salespeople.
Thanks for saying that!
@@RaitisRides Just subscribed because of what he said AND also because you read your subs comments 😁
You are correct hence why I'm subscribed to his page.
It looks likes a Mazda 2, it sounds like a mazda 2, it smells like a mazda 2, it feels like a mazda 2, but it's a toyota Yaris
Daniel Agostinho it’s really mazda2… my son told me that & it’s popular in Japan (my son lives in Japan)… I bought 2019 Yaris… but when I realize it’s Mazda, I traded it to Corolla 2020… Toyota owns a share from Mazda… Yaris has Mazda engine … TOYOTA transmission …& TOYOTA logo… Yaris runs faster than my Corolla but it’s safer for me to drive Corolla …Yaris runs smoothly with push button starter… I like car key to start my car bcoz I’m clumsy & so afraid losing my fob key… they’re expensive to remake…
bugatti
lynn orme no joke about those key fobs lol, however I’ve become so used to push button now that I’ll be pushing empty space on turn key cars more often then not
This is mazda 2!!!!
Yeah Mazda 2 lol
Thank you for showing this car. It is great to find a channel that has a good variety of cars rather than the same ole ones over and over again. Thank you!
That really means a lot! Thank you for joining the Raiti's Rides Family!
While we enjoy watching videos on cars we can only dream of, it is nice to see videos of more affordable cars.
Thanks Dana for saying that and letting me share it with you!
Just gonna say, I'm 22 and have ZERO interest in buying cars or any of that.
That said, I bought a used 2019 Yaris 4 months ago and am still loving it. After fees and everything it came out to 19k, not too crazy for a near-new car I plan on keeping!
I bought one with a 6 speed manual transmission. I am very happy with the car. 40 mpg with gas up at $5 + a gallon is a godsend! Just a good, honest and simple vehicle. I think it was a mistake for Toyota to drop it from their lineup. We need more cars like this.
So i checked this car out in Florida , i had a 2000 Toyota Echo (bullet proof when i used for school) and have a special appreciation for them , but this was is $18,995. Before taxes , so i checked the corolla , and believe it or not got a 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE for $22,785 , so i got the corolla and will never regret it , i absolutely loveeee ittttt..
The rubbing of the seat sold me. “Very durable.” You never fail to entertain.
A rebadged Mazda 2, there's a brand new one just released in Europe it looks gorgeous
We get the leftovers.
True
@@luckyyou774 AGREED!
its not out in europe yet.
Japan gets it first and not until February 2020
Thanks. I've been waiting for a review of this car.
I just picked up a 2020 Yaris XLE Hatch in April, and I got the upgraded Navigation, leather, and it's in dark grey. I did Royal Purple for my first oil change, and I did a K&N upgraded filter. I literally fill up the car once a month. Epic MPG. If anyone has one, and the factory tires go bad, get the 185/60R26 Yokohama Ascend GT. I got 3.4 mpg upgrade just from changing tires.
I just bought the 2019 sedan version and I’m in love with mine. It’s a pretty electric blue. It definitely puts my hunk of junk before it to shame.
Congrats! I am so glad that you are enjoying yours.
I owned a 2011 Mazda 2 and loved it! A hoot to drive, economical and never broke. The essence of driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow. Sold it to a friend and she loves it too. I might just buy another, happy its still available.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership experience!
There are several guys I watch for vehicle reviews that I really like......YOU, REDLINE & a few others......I have watched your review on this YARIS several times, it’s great.
Yes Redline is good 👍🏼
Great video Joe. My sister just bought the same 2020 Yaris. Your review helped with her decision.
That is so wonderful! Please tell her I said congrats!
Thanks for the great review!
Your explanation of every cars you had reviewed were very detailed as if every review worth a book. You should publish a book of every reviewed cars.
Thanks that really means a lot! I appreciate you watching!
I have a 2017 and I love it! It gets me where i need to go without breaking the bank on buying gas
Thanks for sharing that great ownership information!
I had one to!! I just got rid of mine cause the lease ended. But yeah it was a great great car haha
My friend has a scion IA . Same car literally, he got the best budget ever! He got it for 11k flat and the car only had 6k miles.
Thanks for sharing that! You are right your friend did very well.
It's my retirement car. Reliability and fun on a budget.
Get the GR..
No GR in USA
Hey bro, you are very honesty, and thank you 4 keep it real.
Thanks for saying that! It really means a lot!
Joe, I'm old enough to remember when a 60 series was a low profile tire😉 Nice thing here, Toyota and Honda still make a quality, entry level CAR for those who don't want or need an SUV. Read an article, think it was Jalopnik, that GM and Ford have lost sales because they dont have entry level cars anymore, people are going elsewhere, who would've thunk it🤔
I remember those days as well! LOL You hit the nail on the head!
"Maybe a bicycle or someone running along the side of the road would be a good competitor" LMAO classic Raiti! You're a pioneer of getting people who are into sports cars into watching videos about daily commuters with your comedic touch.
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you! that really means a lot. I appreciate you letting me bring the variety to you!
I follow u because you review not only high price cars but budget cars also. 👍
I got a 2012 Toyota yaris hatchback 4 Dr and I just absolutely love it , it has gotten me so many places and it still going strong !!! The prices it takes to fill up is definitely cost friendly, milage is fantastic!! I love this one ❤, beautiful car for sure
Nice review, a nice little runabout, especially for the city! You can park this thing almost anywhere. Corolla, great car too but also more expensive. They both have their place in the market, start w Yaris, graduate to Corolla when funds are in greater supply and drag racing people all bicycles becomes old! 🤪
I feel like Toyota is becoming a third-party car company
Long Tran I feel that they are trying to go extremes in terms of cutting back costs. By using rebadged designs, they can buy a design that has been researched already, without having to pay for it themselves. It would decrease the cost of the car, meaning more profit.
I totally agree with you!
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Long Tran huh but these are all niche products they are using other companies for, it is chump change for them and still allows them to compete in those small segments. Combined sales of Supra, 86 and Yaris doesn't even come close to any of the main products Toyota sells... old news though, Toyota has been doing this for a long time, rebadged Geos, Martrix/Vibe, etc..
Toyota are a shit brand now, there cars are built in Europe and are poor quality, Mazda don't allow anyone outside of Japan to build their cars although some work is out sourced to Thailand. I know these cars inside out, so if you have questions ask me.
Great video!!
Thanks my friend!
I love these little Mazda2's. You had so much fun on those twisties. I do have to say tho, the lack of an arm rest in the front has to be one of the biggest zonks yet. The XLE trim has a ton of nice features and is almost at $20k, and no armrest.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input!
The armrest is available as an add on... The Toyota website has it listed as an interior accessory
@@Ty-dn5qv Yea a saw that. Crazy that it doesn't come standard.
I currently have a 2008 Yaris sedan and it has 350,000 miles on it and still runs great. I've been wanting a Corolla or camry but they currently have massive recalls on them
cvt transmission?
I bought an ‘07 Yaris with i think it has the same engine. I owned it for 10 years and put and alternator on it and brakes and wiper blades. That’s it nothing seems to go wrong with it and i love it
The induction sound at higher rpms on the Yaris sounds surprisingly good!!🤘
I know right!
Raiti's Rides by the way love your channel man good stuff!!
I think this is the best budget car in its segment. It has a spare tire unlike most subcompact nowadays. No turbo, not CVT. That's a major plus. Great MPG. And the price! You're getting a lot of car for your money. I'm think about getting one for my sister. It will be her first car.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective on it!
Why is better than a CVT?
8:02 Joe's crazy side LOL 🤣🤣
I have to have a little bit of fun!
@@RaitisRides 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 R.I.P Seat
This is the Mazda 2. I have the 2016 Toyota Scion 1.5 liter with an intake. Love it. 50 + mpg
I have the same car manual Trans I love it.
Thanks for sharing that great input Robert!
@@charliebrown2103 That is so great to hear!
I have it too. I don’t know why people think it’s slow cause it’s 106 HP. I think it’s quick I don’t race. It’s great around corners. It’s very responsible for a 1.5L car. People needs to stop saying it’s slow cause it’s not a race car. I drove it to New York and back home still have gas left. When I drove my 4 cyl suv it took more gas and I had to stop for gas on my way back. I enjoy driving it more it just more responsive and fun to drive.
@@kompa2004 because alot of people like to drag race at the red light when someone slow in front of them. But what most reviewers fail to always mention. Not everyone like hit the pedal trying to get in front of another car like an asshole. So, Toyota yaris is a great reliable car for people that appreciate and drive car normally
Good review. Trying to decide what car to add to the family. Already have a gas guzzling charger haha. A fuel efficient car for NYC would be great. Going to watch your corolla and Mazda 3 vid also
Thanks man!
Great review
Given the current Cover-19 economy the need for such a car has never been greater especially with the Honda Fit no longer an option in the U.S. at the end of 2020. I was sad to see the Mazda 2 leave the Mazda lineup some years ago but it great to see it come back as a Toyota and with a real transmission no less, not a CVT. Thanks for the review.
I have a 08 Toyota Yaris I love it good mileage up to 44 mpg on the highway around town low thirties
THIS WAS GREAT, I'M CONVINCED!
I am so glad that i could bring it to you!
I've had one for 6 months now love it but mine's a 2019. I have the 6 speed stick and it get's 44MPG on HWY then 34 city
I tested one Monday.ihave a 15 versa note with 15k miles and right now I am scared to death I might trade for one of these.
No fake front vents.. I think they been watching your channel Joe. It looks pretty good.
Thanks brother!
Have the 2017, and overall great car, never had any major issues. The only thing I can say is the tire size for it are apparently uncommon with many of the tire shops around me, so it may be best to call ahead of time if you know you're going to need them and get them ordered.
Edit: just realized this is the hatchback, so idk but may still be the same tires
195 55 16 they fit and are cheapppp
I have a 2010 Yaris. Not fancy, but loads of head and leg room (two big selling points for me-I'm 5'10" and am sick of being squished sitting in more expensive cars) and still going strong. My insurance rates are low (who'd want to steal a Yaris?), great gas mileage, and it doesn't spend a lot of time in the repair shop. One down point for many people, I do have to use my eyes, ears, and brain when driving it. There aren't any computer controlled gadgets. I have to check for my mirrors when passing, look behind me and around when backing up, and I have to gauge the distance of the car in front. You definitely have to use your be on your toes. The car doesn't do all the thinking and driving. I love it.
This class of cars does not get enough attention. Please do More.
Had the Yaris iA for a couple years and........ I miss that dopey slow car. I had just as much fun with it on the street as I did with my (former) 17' Mustang GT and 17' Camaro SS. The body roll. The peppy engine. The feeling of a nimble 2,300 lb car that, at best, puts down around 87hp to the wheel... It's the kinda car you can fling around corners, drive aggressively while averaging 40mpg, and feel like you're breaking every law out there only to look down and realize that you haven't even reached the legal speed limit yet.. :D Alas, it has a look that only a mamma whale can love.
Thanks for sharing that! I can totally understand where you are coming from.
87 hp? My Scion iQ is 94 hp there’s no way the car that replaced it as the Scion iA is only 87hp especially being a rebadged Mazda 2 and a larger car. Don’t get me wrong I throw my iQ around corners and it does great on the highway especially for being only a foot longer than a Smart car so I don’t doubt the iA is just as good but there’s no way it’s slower than the iQ.
Dom M He’s saying 87hp to the wheels. Your iQ makes 94hp at the flywheel.
@@83FB7 That makes way more sense! That didn't even cross my mind.
I had seen some of your videos before, but not till I heard Wesley Chapel did I subscribe.
I am a simple man lol
Awesome review!
I really appreciate you saying that! I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
love the front look
Nice cool video thanks
You are so very welcome Omar!
I have a 2011 Yaris sedan with 199k miles on it. Runs fine. Only had oil changes, serpentine belt, coolant fluid change, and one tune up done just to keep maintenance up. Love it.
That is really awesome!
I love that 6 speed auto over the cvt in my corolla.
I totally agree with you!
That's what worries me about buying a new car, A CRAPPY CVT transmission, that has to be replaced if damaged!
@@danielmpr me too
My second comment years later- averaging over 40m mpg, 70k miles, no issues. We checked out a Corolla and Camry,but the Yaris/Mazda is easier to get in and out of being inches higher off the ground, so we are going for another four years. t's still fun ton drive :-)
Good for someone’s first car but I’d opt for the Corolla. Thanks Joe! Have a safe trip to L.A. 🛫👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I am right there with you Larry! Thanks for the well wishes!
L S agreed! You actually get a Toyota - build quality and reliability - if you get a Corolla!
@@mikezerker6925 for an extra $3000
@@darnelacat totally worth the extra money if you plan on keeping it long term.
Yeah and get the Corolla with the CVT that has had recalls on it already... lol
Whereas the Mazda powertrains have been tried and proven now, bulletproof 6-speed transmissions and engines. The CX-3 has actually been rated as one of the most reliable cars because of the non-existant issues with it - and that car is basically a Mazda 2. And if you're still in doubt look at the older Scion iA or Yaris iA, you won't find that they had any issues with them.
I'm so glad I got my 2018 Toyota Yaris IA before they chopped the back end. it looks exactly the same only mine is a sedan body with more cargo space.
The Toyota Yaris is available as a sedan too. It too is based off the Mazda 2. It's the only one that offers the base L trim.
I got the 17 Yaris iA two years. I hate how slow and small it is, but damn it's good on gas. Great first car for the city.
What beautiful skies in your neck of the woods.
Thanks man!
Good video. Have more graphics with price or price comparison, comparisons in general to other models and what this car has.
Thanks for that great feedback. I will do that.
Owner of 2007 yaris love it, not a single problem
Thanks for sharing that!
@alejandro mine had 7 year old battery still started in 0 degrees. Amazing little car, we own 3 yaris in family. Very reliable great mpg cheap to own.
I still drive my 2010 Yaris, with 140.000 km on the counter it drives just like the first day. The few problems i had were fixed in warranty. The AC had a leak, the front suspension made a weird noise and they had a few callbacks because of the airbags.
Does the Yaris not have an armrest?? Or just this model? Thanks
@@BG-ig6fd mine doesnot,
I want one now!! Nice car!! I drive a 2008 Yaris. Great car!!!
I love this Mazda 2 it's so cute...at least it's not a CVT
This is so very true!
Is the GR4 coming to the us ? Is the base Yaris available in manual transmission ?
This is definitely a contender when I am ready to purchase my first vehicle.
nice whip!!!
There's a new Mazda Demio(2) lately in showrooms here in japan and it's sleeker than the old one, just like the new 3!
What about the spare tire? Is a slim one? Is a full size? Is it the repair kit?
Literally perfect for a daily. My pride and joy sits for pleasure only. Last windshield rock chip made me think that's it I need something I don't care about, a workhorse, good mpg, practical, reliable (mazda has gone up in reliability I'm just a little iffy on GDI and carbon). This car seems to fit the bill. Good review.
Thanks for sharing that input from your experience!
I "Just" purchased the 2020 Yaris LE Sedan in Icicle for UNDER 17K and am VERY HAPPY with it!
Sedan actually has a LARGER Trunk Space than the Hatchback!
Congrats!
Toyota : "we're going to stop making boring cars."
Also Toyota : *outsources to companies who actually make fun to drive cars.*

The rest of the world actually gets a new Yaris this year. It´s an 3-Cylinder Hybrid with about 115 PS.
All from Toyota. The USA get´s an old rebadged Mazda 2.
@@timrichter4688 I might be biased since I had been driving a Mazda 2 for 2 years, but I'd much rather own a rebadged Mazda than a Toyota. As far as I'm concerned, EU/JDM Yaris hasn't been any good, and 3rd world Yaris is basically trash on wheels.
Granted, I don't know much about the next Yaris, and the Mazda 2 is quite far from a new car. But it's good for what it is.
Also it'd be nice for you guys to have the 4x4 GR Yaris, but I guess that's out of the picture.
@@thatcopenguy now you have a 4WD Yaris called GR Yaris (only for Europe and Asia market).It is 1.6 three cylinders engine with turbo that has around 268 HP.It looks pretty good dude check it
How do you operate the inbuilt camera attached to the windshield? I just got my yaris the other day. Please help.
Just got a 2017 Yaris iA for 14k taxes and everything included 2 days ago with 27k miles, a few scratches. I absolutely love it! How do you think the price is for how I got it?
You should have done a review on the XLE model of this car it's the one I have and it has leather seats and the same material on the door panels I love this car and I am coming from a G37 x.
I just wish that the Yaris was still available in a 2-dr model. Also, the dashboard could be made to nor look ao cheap. The exterior styling of this 2020 Yaris looks great! I'm going to check it out, since I'm in the market for a very small and inexpensive but reliable car.
I totally agree with you!
I believe they still have a 2020 yaris sedan on the website. Nice review 👍
Thanks for that info! I appreciate your help!
@@RaitisRides always welcome 👍
Nice Mazda 2 review

I'm glad they went to a more traditional design compared to the older models that had the speedometer in the middle of the dash for everyone to see. The Yaris has always scared me since I saw the IIHS small overlap crash tests. Not good! But hopefully they've improved since then.
I totally agree with you Herman!
Can't believe there's no stick shift version of the Yaris Hatchback. The manuals are really starting to disappear. So sad :-(
Very nice presentation, Joe. And kudos to the videographer for the excellent shooting.
I totally feel your pain!Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Nice description, good review. So no manual shift nor a sedan anymore to choose between, darn. This is a perfect retirement car! Small income with no surprises wanted, yet I'm used to good handling cars. I love my 2019 sedan Smooth, quiet, fun, reliable , cheap to buy and operate.One again-It looks so good after a lifetime of cars, perfect for RETIREMENT, not just kids. Who needs to spend over $19,000 for a new car?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
I have a 2007 sedan Yaris and I love it so much but I want to buy a 2020 Yaris sedan but idk if it will have the same reliability?
Wow. What a beauty small hatchback car!
I am so glad that you like this on.
Raiti's Rides I got the mail from Larry Miller Toyota in Phoenix, Arizona and it reminds me for liking Toyota hatchback cars! Lol 😁
This would be great for my granddaughter! Toyota is Always a reliable car! Who knows, I might would trade my car in too if a Moonroof is optional, always loved the hatchback style! ♥️
Thanks for the review man... the car seems super fine to me but my friend says that the corolla is more comfortable(?) so thats the only drawback to me
I bought a Toyota Yaris in 2007. Has 160,000 miles on it. Still running good.
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing that!
@@RaitisRides thank you fir the message. I watch almost all of your videos. I test drive many cars. I think the vehicle will be the Honda HRV. Mazda is very comfortable. HRV more practical. Kona was not comfortable in the front seats. Did not like the Tesla model 3 at all due to the brake applying every time I took my foot off the gas. Also seats too low. Thanks for all the videos. Amazing!
It doesn't only come as a hatchback. Also, there are multiple trim levels.
I chuckled when he fired it up ti hear what it sounds like
Does the car have the SkyActiv engine? It seems to have the same specs as the ones in South America and they have the SkyActiv engine.
Subaru 86
BMW Supra
Mazda Yaris
What’s next? Buick Camry??
I’d get a real Toyota Corolla over the Yaris ... that way you’d get Toyota reliability and build quality.
LMAO!!!
Can you review the 2020 mazda 2?
Push to Start is standard on Yaris, but optional on Corolla. The previous gen Corolla has round air vents. The new 2020 Corolla got rid of the hand brake and replaced with automatic brake
Thanks for that info!
most ppl buy toyota for reliability, so if this is just a mazda, might as well get a mazda or corolla if u want that reliability
That is a very good point!
but mazda is rated at 159 problems per 100 cars. So your buying a re-branded mazda, which is an unreliable brand all together.
It is not that simple man....
Please provide the years of research you've done on most (sic) ppl, by which I mean you might mean people, but are unable to spell
Mazda 2 is reliable in my country and it has a better quality than the cheaply made real southeast asian Yaris. The european yaris is really good though.
it has a ACTUAL transmission, and NOT a cvt. That is a HUGE selling point to me.
Man, every time you say Yaris, my brain dubs it "Mazda" now lol.
I got a 2017 Yaris.
So what is the advantage of this Yaris over Mazda 2?
so this may not exactly have to do with the car itself. I seem to notice a difference in sound when I honk my horn vs lock my car with my key fob. the lock function is louder then my actual horn. is this supposed to be this way
I own a Japanese built, 2010 TOYOTA Yaris, I would not touch this with a 10 foot pole. But I admit, it looks nice and modern.
