2008 Toyota Yaris Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by andrew.despirito

Fuel economy

Given its size, should have a better rating. During my test drives (and several rentals), consistently performed worse than EPA estimates, even using a light foot.

Powertrain performance

Noisy engine with no power. Cannot merge onto freeway safely. Notchy shifter. Non-communicative steering. A truly boring, underpowered econo-box.

Driving position & visibility

Terrible gages, cramped cockpit, and uncomfortable seats with limited adjustability.
