Last year, the Yaris replaced the Echo in Toyota’s lineup as its least expensive new vehicle.
As in the 2007 model year, two Yaris body styles are available for 2008: a three-door Liftback and a four-door sedan.
A separate review covers the 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan.

The 2008 Toyota Yaris is one of the cheapest, and cheapest to run, of all new vehicles. | The 2008 Chevrolet Aveo has a bargain-basement price, and with the exception of good interior comfort, you get what you pay for. | The 2008 Honda Fit is one of the smallest cars on the road, but it’s fun to drive, huge inside, and a tremendous value. | The 2008 Hyundai Accent delivers econocar basics with a high-quality interior and fun handling for a great price. | The 2008 Kia Rio is a good choice among subcompacts and it’s stylish, but standard anti-lock brakes and better side-impact protection would help its case against the Honda Fit. |
