The Yaris still manages to look quite stylish compared to most other models in its class—especially as a hatchback—even though it's been three years since its U.S. introduction. The two body styles of this model clearly cater to two different classes. While the sedan is slightly...

Other Choices:

The most appealing vehicle in this crowd is the Honda Fit; although it's quite a bit more expensive, the Fit is safer, more expansive inside—thanks to the wonderful Magic Seat design—and more fun to drive. The redesign that the Fit got for 2009 made it pretty much untouchable in this category. But Toyota has upped the Yaris' safety features for 2010, which eliminates some of our previous reservations. Otherwise, the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio are probably the most direct competitors to the Toyota Yaris. Both models come as a sedan, but the Accent is available as a three-door hatchback model and the Rio as a five-door hatchback (Rio5). They both feel a little heftier on the road, even if they don't weigh a lot more, and their real-world fuel economy isn't as good based on the experience of TheCarConnection.com. The Kia Rio5 is more fun to drive than all but the Honda Fit. The Chevrolet Aveo, made in South Korea by GM Daewoo, is another model worth looking at, but it doesn't perform as well as these other models in most respects.

    I bought a 2 door hatchback exactly a month ago. I was quite concerned with what some of the reviews had to say, especially the comment about the odd driving position, and the austere cabin appointment, and the center mounted instrument panel.
    I am 6'3" and after test driving a Yaris, I could not figure out what the reviewers were complaining about. I thought I would hate the center mounted instrument panel, but I found I am very comfortable with it, and it is not at all distracting for me to glance at it. I found the interior to be clean and classy looking.
    The car I bought has manual 5 speed, no power doors or windows, and great radio/CD player. I love the ease of entry into the car, and the way it handles in traffic and zips through town. I love the visibility it gives me, and the rear window wiper is wonderful.
    The only thing I miss is that it does not have day running lights, I swear by them, and thus turn on my parking lights whenever I am driving.
    Go for a test drive, and judge for yourself!!!
