the 106-hp, 1.5-liter four-cylinder must work hard for the Yaris to keep up with traffic
Toyota's four-speed shifts smoother, however, and its widely-spaced gear ratios don't make you call for another overdrive
Quick and light steering makes parking a snap.
There is no snappy throttle or peppy attitude, just confident, low-intensity cruising.

With the manual especially, the Yaris can be quite enjoyable to drive at low city speeds, but it's simply not as frisky as a MINI Cooper or Honda Fit, because of a suspension that's clearly tuned for ride, not handling. While the steering is nicely weighted, the Yaris leans and feels overwhelmed on tight, curvy roads.

The 2011 Toyota Yaris only feels at home in the city, where it feels frisky and turns on a dime.
