A review of my new 2007 Toyota Yaris Base Sedan 4 door. I purchased this car three days ago. It is white, tan interior, base model, automatic, power package (power accessories, cruise control, 15" alloy wheels), floor mats and keyless entry. Total price was about $15,565 including destination charge. I love driving this car. My previous car was a '98 Corolla. The 1.5 liter engine is smooth, quiet and fast. It has a timing chain for low maintenance. It shifts with a sporty feel. In fact, the entire car has a sporty feel to it. The ride is firm, at times bouncy, but not at all objectionable. The RPMs overall are very low during city driving (my car has a tachometer). On the highway the RPMs are a bit higher, usually 2,900-3,200 RPMs, but again, it is not objectionable and it is still quiet at 75-80 mph. The car tracks the road beautifully with very little wander. Inside, the seating is high and I have an excellent view out. The gated shifter is fantastic, as you soon learn that you can shift into gear without having to look down. The backseat has lots of leg room and the rear floor is flat. The only things missing are an engine temperature gauge and an outside temperature gauge. Also, the turn signals are too quiet. I filled up recently and am receiving 36 mpg in mixed driving...better than expected, as I have a heavy foot. Overall, this is a great car and I am very happy with my purchase.

Replying to: brucepadgett (Apr 18, 2006 5:45 pm) Before buying the Yaris I test drove a 2006 Corolla LE for comparison purposes. The Corolla rode softer, but the handling was sloppier. I immediately liked driving the Yaris better; it had a much tighter feel than the Corolla. The feel of every car is subjective and I simply liked the Yaris better.
