"It's one thing to be sharing info from another site, but what's not allowed is crossing that line to "promoting" a site that also has automotive forums" I would be promoting 2 other sites that have forums, so I cannot show them. Send me an email and I will send them to you. I do suggest getting a scangauge II, that has been a big help in getting great mileage. I also cannot list everything, and I do not have the time. I suggest you read on the 2 webpages, and over time you will do better! |

I am looking to purchase a yaris within the next few days and am wondering if there is any drawbacks to going the sedan route versus the liftback route? Will i get the same mpg? I know that I will lose cargo space and that really isnt that big of a deal to me as this is a commuter car for me. If there isnt a big difference, would the liftback be the better buy as it will be about 1k less than the sedan? Are there any "must haves" for the sedan or liftback that i should be aware of? Thank you for your time and effort. |

Replying to: salmonella (Jun 28, 2007 5:56 pm) I would suggest you get a 5 speed manual if you are looking for the highest miles per gallon. I drive a manual 2007 Yaris liftback/hatchback. Also, I would likely wait for the 2008 models. It is late in the 2007 model year, so your new car will soon be a year old. Just my opinion. You might want to consider getting side airbags, many consider them a must have. I did not get them, and I have never had them in any of my cars in the past. |

I bought a Scangage also and find it useful in showing where I was not getting the best mileage. I was getting about 44 mpg last summer when my Yaris manual lift-back was new. After about 7K miles of break-in and with the help of the Scangage I have been getting a little over 47 mpg. This is for my typical driving which is around 45 mph max on flat, mostly country roads with some stop and go. I took a trip recently on the Interstate and drove about 100 miles at 55 mph and got about 48.1 mpg for the trip on the Scangage. Coming back I drove 65 mph and saw the milage at about 43.8 mpg for that part of the trip. No AC either way, 10% ethanol, 85 deg, flat, no wind, just me in the car. All in all, I’m still very pleased. This kind of mileage might be Toyota’s best kept secret.

I'm very surprised I'm not seeing more reports of people getting over 40 MPG with the Yaris. My '99 non-VVTI engined and heavier Corolla averages 38 MPG, and sometimes gets as high as 41 MPG, and all this while running the A/C. I would've thought the smaller and lighter Yaris with it's VVTI engine would easily be getting in the mid 40's.
