2007 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There's lots of space around you in the front seats, moreso than other cars I have owned. Lots of modern cars have a big, tall center console that extends back to the rear seats and up to your elbow. The Yaris is not like this at all. Only the gear stick separates the driver and passenger. see full Toyota Yaris review |

The seats are soft but supportive, and hug the driver firmly in place. The result is a real sense of connection with the car. see full Toyota Yaris review |

The back seats are extremely cramped when slid forward. They must be slid forward when a non-tiny amount of cargo needs to be put in the back. see full Toyota Yaris review |

incofortable even for only two adults. The passanger in the center will be very inconfortable when tree passengers are in rear seat. see full Toyota Yaris review |

Ha ha ha ha! Perhaps a small dog would be comfortable back there. The only good thing about the back seat is that I've read it is not too hard to remove it entirely! see full Toyota Yaris review |

Small in the back, but the seats can adjust, recline and fold down for cargo. see full Toyota Yaris review |

at 6' 3" the rear seating with sun roof is a little tight. If you are taller than me do not plan to spend much time in the rear. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
