I own a 2008 YRS yaris and honestly after test-driving and researhing ALL the small cars that were on the market at the time, the yaris was the best. ( and yes i may be female, but that doesnt mean crap)…anywaysss all the smaller cars on the market were freaking ugly or felt like plastic….eg (in my opinion) swifts are tissue boxes on wheels, getz are plain and boring, micras are plastic and extremely ugly etc etc.

I have driven this car to qld and back 3 times
from sydney and i have done the trip in 7.5hrs oneway in the yaris. The car drove like a dream non-stop, had enough gutz to overtake and was a quiet and comfy ride. But the best part is the fact that i only needed to fill up ONCE per journey and i was driving with the air-con too!….from a full tank i think u get roughly 600ks…get fuel economy like that from other cars?….prove me wrong. lol

Lookwise, i think its simple and compact, i got mine in black, and put 17″ chrome wheels on it, lowered it slighty and it looks great, better than other small cars with larger wheels. Inside is easy and simple…the spedo is awesome so clear and precise!…When sitting in the drivers seat i feel alot higher up and in-level with other cars, giving me illusion that in fact i am driving a bigger car…other small cars drivers seat feel too low down…its zippy and efficent…its quick off the mark and i easily keep up with other traffic!

Bootspace…pfftt…if u have a family…clearly its not for u…it fits the shopping in snuggly and if u do have a bit more than that then fold the seats down? derr….to put it into perspective…i fit a 50″ TV (still in the box) inside the yaris with the rear seats folded down…i was told by the shop that i would need to have it delivered, but i knew it would fit…and i was right!….whilst inside the yaris it comfortably seats 4…i have even had 3 baby seats in the back and the kids werent squashed at all…the car is big inside for a small car…and it gives the illusion of being even bigger due to the large windows of the yaris.

I feel exteremly safe in the yaris, i have reverese sensors which are very sensitive but i love it, makes parking a breeze…the system is fantastic and i love the steering-wheel mounted controls. When driving in heavy rain the yaris is great, wipers are fantastic and handling is too. I also feel alot safer due the fact it doesnt feel like im sitting in a coke can like its other compeditors.

I am a very happy yaris customer and i wouldnt consider any other smaller car. Now that yaris offer the cosmipolitian colour (hot pink) its even more of a winner. It put its other compeditors on show!!!
