Also, the Yaris has great outward visibility, with the exception of the driver's C-piller. I'm 6,2. I can see the traffic lights without being a contortionist. Cars like the Miata and Civic are pretty painful in that fashion. You sit pretty high-up, I don't see ANY of the exterior of the car as I sit in it. For the record, I thought the Civic rode pretty harshly, and had a bit more noise (wind/road) than I expected. The exterior styling is rather  nice however.

My husband and I picked up his new Yaris on July 12. He just had his second fill up. Stats as follows: 2007 Yaris S Sedan, Manual trans Picked it up with 9 miles on the Odo. First tank: 37.9 MPG. This is even with break-in and crazy driving (Husband had to squeal tires, burn rubber and other "guy" stuff). Husband did his research and was excited to try a hard break in. We methodically ran it through the gears and revved the engine to high RPMs to pressurize and seat the rings. Even if it doesn't work as advertised, we had a blast testing the power of the engine and learning the range of the car's acceleration.  Second tank: 41.5 MPG.  Used as a commuter car for 15-20 miles through country back roads 5/7ths of the time, and short town trips on the weekends (2/7ths). No ethanol, 50% a/c, coasting, and shifting at 2000 rpms. We hope to increase this even further by installing a K&N air filter. So far, we are saving about $20/month just in gas purchases over his previous car (97 Dodge Avenger).  Look for our updated mileage after a few more tanks.

| I have had my 08 liftback auto transmission for three weeks and have 700 miles on it and get 35mpg. I drive half city and half highway on my daily 50 mile per day round trip commute.I'm not a fast driver, but I think the mileage is better if you drive it a little aggressive rather than being pokey with it. | |

The most important thing to remember is that the EPA fuel economy numbers are nearly impossible to match when driving in real world conditions. That said, in my automatic equipped Yaris I get around 35mpg in town and 42 freeway. It's a fun car, very comfortable with great build quality. After owning over 8 new Toyota models (Avalon, Highlander, Camry, Rav4, Corolla) over the last five years, I bought this as a city car and find that it's so comfortable, I use it for freeway trips as well. As a hard core auto enthusiast with many other high end (MBZ, BMW, etc) cars, it's very nice to have a small, nible hatchback to enjoy driving. |
