| I just had a vacation from Washington. I rented a Yaris sedan from Alamo. This car was great on mpg. The fuel economy is average 42 mpg (80% highway/ 20% city) with A/C on half of the time. | |

i purchased a 2009 Yaris Sedan, manual about two weeks ago and went on my first real road trip yesterday (plains of eastern colorado). 332 miles and 7.05 gallons (47 mpg). I feel I lucked out with tailwinds, but I did not baby it, going anywhere from 55 to 70mph. My first fill up (a little more than 1/2 tank) was 299 miles and 6.6 gallons (45 mpg), 70% highway, 30% in-town. i'm stunned... my Yaris blog for photos and info

Replying to: shawn164 (Oct 06, 2008 6:59 pm) Interesting blog ! Looking forward to more.  Excellent pictures, and the way you write indicates professionalism also. Very nice! We are looking to add a gas sipper to our stable, and still undecided as to which "Make" and be it a sedan or a hatch back. . Thus some questions. You wrote, in the blog introduction: "After three months of homework, I made the decision to purchase a new 2009 Toyota Yaris Sedan. Take a journey with me as I experience what this little gas sipper has to offer. The good, the bad and everything in between" What convinced you to purchase a Yaris, rather than say a Fit with more cargo area, or a Versa with more interior space? Especially since you had never driven one. Why a sedan, rather than a hatchback? Thanks, Kip

Replying to: kipk (Oct 07, 2008 2:24 am) I was mulling over between a Civic, Fit or Yaris (the Versa was shortly on the list). The Civic was on the high end of the price scale and the styling/look of the Fit didn't really appeal to me. I have owned two hondas in the past (87 CRX HF hand-me-down from father, which ruled and 91 Civic AWD wagon...so fun in the snow, but died an early death) so I wanted to try a Toyota. I don't need a lot of space and I liked the way the Yaris Sedan looked, so I went for it. I wanted something dependable (Toyota) with minimal investment and the bare bones Yaris seemed to be the best match. Reading MPG reviews, the Yaris seemed to be on the better end of the scale with most personal experiences. Looks aside (I'm not a fan of the hatchback), I like the idea of a trunk to keep some of my photo gear out of plain sight and having access to the backseat through back doors seems handier to me when dealing with gear or passengers. So far I'm really excited. I am having to adjust to manual windows and locks, but it was a decision to see what luxuries I could live without I guess : ) I still can't believe the MPG. After my 1k mile oil change, I'm heading on a long roadtrip out West, so I'm looking forward to see how she runs. Reading other experiences on this site was a HUGE help in my decision, so thanks Edmunds! www.toyotayarisreview.com - my Yaris blog
