SMALL CAR, GREAT PERFORMANCE

Yaris-Sedan-4 doors. Small 'Base' car. Drives well and meets all my expectation. Found everything I need in a Toyota made car. DEPENDABILITY. RELIABILITY. GOOD GAS MILEAGE. MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

Boring car

This is a review of the 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan. I paid full sticker price for this vehicle since the dealership refused to negotiate as the car was popular and hard to find when it first came out. The only Yaris with a manual transmission that I found was a basic model. And I mean basic. There were no frills at all - no power locks, no temperature display, nothing. The only creature comfort it had was an AM/FM stereo and mp3 and CD player. Nothing else. The seats were horrible, at least the driver's seat was. It had no lumbar support. My back killed me after long trips. The instrument cluster was located in the center of the dash which I still don't understand. I really never did get used to it. The car was supposed to get 40 miles per gallon highway. I never did get that mileage, and felt that the car was a disappointment because of this. The 40 MPG was the main reason I bought the car. On the positive side, the car was very reliable. I put on over 87,000 miles and never had any serious issues except the AC quit working on me. The rest was just routine maintenance. So in this sense it was cheap to use, The Yaris is a reliable car but in other ways it is nothing special. In fact, the car is boring, The most boring car that I have ever owned.

Best Commuter Car Ever

Inexpensive, low maintenance car, that gets gets 35 MPG. After 11 years of ownership, other than all recommended service, we have only replaced serpentine belt at 140,000 and replaced brakes at 215,000.

Snappy little Yaris

I love this car only It is only because my arthritic wrists which demand an automatic that made me replace it. I drove it for 8 years with not a problem. In the coldest winter days it started on first turn of the key! I'm told it will probably do another 100,000 if well cared for. It has passed State inspection and local Toyota dealership inspection. In very good condition.

This Car Has ALWAYS Been There For Me

I've had this car for 7 years, going on 8, over 100,000 miles, 3 moves to 3 different states, cross-country road trips, countless 5-hr trips to school, never had any problems. Aux port is in kind of a weird spot and there were a few recalls on parts that Toyota took care of. HIGHLY recommended for new drivers and teens!

Excellent reliability minus looking like a dork.

I love to pull up at the Timmies drive through and say "no" to... "you need a tray?" cause I like saving the environment! As I pull away from the driveway and shout! "Cause I have 7 cup holders!" Really no major repair costs for over 225 000kms going strong. Only one time had firing issue. Only set me back $400. Very little power but beats the Chevrolet Cruze on power and gas mileage. With its 1.6 Litre engine. Can get little more torque feel with a few upgrades. More engine power if you take some weight off. The power? What power? You mean your lawn mower? Good simple engine, car, interior, exterior design without the fancy technology. While maintaining good gas mileage. Mechanics dream car customer! Amazing 5 disk radio player for the 2007's. You can put a few upgrades without hurting the car too much. Handles corners well. Good winter handling but back is extremely light. Easily enters oversteer/ fish tail in winter but can easily be put back into control. Light. I think it is 2400-2600lbs. Minus weight of driver... Skip the OUTRAGES hotel prices cause you can sleep comfortable in the back seats with a little wacky tobaccy!!! but difficult to get wiggy with it. LOL

Commuter

This is a good car for commuting as far as gas goes but comfort for my model is not so comfy and this car has a recall of some sort every year for the sake I only have had it 3 plus years!! and when it rains it gets a foul odor that you can not get rid of!!

Great Sub-Compact Car. Extremely Reliable.

I own a red 2007 Toyota Yaris Base Sedan model for little over a month now. The gas mileage is great on both city and on the highway. The vehicle (for a sub-compact car) drives great on the highway. The Yaris has 12-Valve VVT-i engine which thus means a very reliable and long-lasting engine that should stay healthy with basic maintenance (like oil changes, changing the air filter every 12,000 miles, spark plugs, etc.). What stands out about the interior is the amount of space that the 2007 Toyota Yaris has to offer. Back seats are comfortable and spacious. As well, the back seats come with a back-seat splitter as a standard in all Toyota Yaris'. One aspect that is very underrated is the handling and torque of the 2007 Toyota Yaris. For a sub-compact car, the Toyota Yaris drives butter smooth on the road. Even steering left and right is very easy and smooth. Toyota Yaris also has a good amount of torque since the car itself is very light. Therefore, in my opinion, this car is very fun and it is a joy to drive the 2007 Toyota Yaris in my daily commute. My Toyota Yaris has 179,000 miles and counting. And I choose to stay with it for a very long time.
