Bought a 2007 sedan for my son nearly 3 years ago, it's his first car. Got it for $4,000 from someone who owned from new. Still going strong. Still only has 130K miles. Very reliable and cheap to run and insure. Surprisingly spacious, he is 6 foot 3 inches and gives plenty of head and leg room.
This review seems a lot more honest than most I've seen on TH-cam. They review it in the context of the car's class. Looking at one of these to replace my rusting Metro
My 2007 Toyota Yaris has 220,000 miles on it. Great Reliability. Minimal maintainance. I even took it on a 9,453 mile round trip when it had 193,000 miles on it. I will drive it until I have to replace it with my other 2007 Toyota Yaris.
In my country it is named The toyota Vios. This car sells like hotcake. Not just Private used, It is used in taxis. Rental car and it as famous and iconic of it's reliability and durability.
Bought a 2008 sedan new off the lot. 2,400,000 miles and still going strong. I drove it to the moon once, I saw the guys in the space station laughing at how slow it was, but it was trusty enough to get me there and back
Bought a new 2007 orange Hatchback with manual transmission. It was the first time I realized there are cars that don't 'feel' like cars. At least here in North America, the 2nd generation Yaris was equipped with the most lifeless suspension I've seen. It just didn't feel anything. The second disappointment were the seats. While I did test drive the car for about 1h, at that moment I didn't realize the seats had zero lower lumbar support. Uncomfortable on long trips for me. I ended getting rid of it in 2009 despite the financial loss. There were so many used for sale. And I actually loved the 1st generation - the Echo which was such a well designed and balanced vehicle, it had very cheap interior but it was so well composed and easy to drive. The second generation Yaris from 2007-2011 was a completely different concept, same engine but otherwise a totally different design overall. Sad because the interior did look great and it was so easy to park in the city, just that it was lifeless and the seats didn't do it for me. I've heard Toyota fixed these issues with the 3rd generation.
I bought a used 2008 manual hatchback for 3k. Great little car, very reliable and quite comfortable for it's size. If you can get the manual go for it but the automatic is still ok
my wife keep telling me she wants this car. why? it looks like a female type car though. but she already have a 2012 altima. should I get it for here a 2012 or 13 model.
i own a 2007 yaris hatchback i love it it is the best car on the road i have driven the so called better cars no no no they are not i don't like the sedan but the hatch is the best for 2007 anyway the car looksbeautiful to me i love small cars and hatchbacks they are not porsches for christs sake the people who review these cars are idiots if you want a porsche buy a porsche if you want a great small car buy a yaris forget the others this is what you want
2012 models got redesigned they are not only much better looking but safer and a more stronger safety cage design and all airbags are standard now. not to mention the interior looks way better then the last gens do with an actual gage cluster over the steering wheel now and not in the middle of the dash anymore which I found stupid to begin with.
WOW I am pulling on to my street and BOOM a Toyota Yaris in front of me.. and then I go to TH-cam and BOOM video with the same car ! How sway! The government is inside our brains!
@shaalis I would choose all the cars that you mentioned expect for the Fiat 500. It looks like SHIT. And it has the same amount of power yet the MPG are very low. If you check out he MW of Fiat 500 you will see the MPG. And I would pay $13,000 (about for a new yaris hatch) rather than about 16,000-17,000 for a ugly Fiat 500.
boring looking car Decent drive but gutless, boring and quite frankly......buying the seden of the yaris is pointless. Give me the Fit, or the Fiat 500. The mazda 2 for chirst sake, or the fiesta.
Noted your comment from 8 years ago. If you'd bought a new Fiat 500 when you made that comment it would be in the junk yard by now whereas my son's 2007 Yaris is still going strong. Obviously you put style over substance.

Yeah, Get one! It's a Toyota, but in the OLD SCHOOL Toyota way, and not some damned "high-tech" money pit.

Really ?
these are great reliable cars!
Happy owner here
Shock Master how many miles nowww
Wow,some ppl actually came on a Yaris video to talk about their Mercedes Benz?....The world has indeed gone crazy smh
The Last Good Mercedes was 1997. Ask any Master Mercedes mechanic

So you liked the Echo, but disliked the 2nd gen Yaris?
he complains about the location of the instrument pod and now praises cars with screens that make you take your eyes off the road to use them.
love this little car.
My Yaris sedan only gets 28-29 mpg mixed driving even after the full tune-up I've done at the dealer. 293,578 miles
Would get better mileage with a 6-speed automatic or CVT. Yaris only comes with four forward gears.
@@liddlebopeepwhat u gor
I still like yaris best. I hate the gauge cluster though. I like yaris over fit, ect.
People you're looking at the best car in the world
I bought a used 2008 manual hatchback for 3k. Great little car, very reliable and quite comfortable for it's size. If you can get the manual go for it but the automatic is still ok
POV you remember the ads for this car and came here after watching them
If you don't like this car, don't watch the video!
my wife keep telling me she wants this car. why? it looks like a female type car though. but she already have a 2012 altima. should I get it for here a 2012 or 13 model.
I wish I could buy one right now for these prices

tell that to all those w123's still running around that are over 30+ years old. you don't see many Toyota's still running around at that age.
You don't see many 15 year old German cars running at all. Germans forgot how to make cars after the 80s
And actually there's a shit ton of 80s Toyotas still running
