I previously owned a manual 2006 yaris which I was very happy with. The new 2012 Yaris is poorly built and poorly executed. The main problem with my Auto model is that at speeds of over 90km/hr a high pitch ringing noise is emitted from the engine. This noise is constant and is like the ringing in your ears after you hear a loud concert. I complained to Toyota and Toyota admitted that this is in all similar models and that they would not be doing anything about it. The glare that reflects of the dash is dangerous. The new 1... read more

A good easy zippy car. Head office let them down, but otherwise I really love my car. Added rear sensors, that is missing. Gorgeous to look at and fuel efficient. Very easy handling. Lovely comfortable seats and very roomy on the inside, for a small car. Boot space looks smal but fits a fair bit. bad choice of colours when I bought it so had to stick with white. The head office were compltely obnoxious and rude when I had a question. As I don't reward companies with poor customer service, the next one will be a Mazda!

Great little car- to many included options- would like to choose to include or save the extra money. Too expensive to service- don't dare take it to anyone other than th dealer because it's got more than a few bits and bobs even they were puzzled about. Their mechanics may have needed to get a bit more updated training. The price is right/ features are impressive- ABS/ power windows/ air- all standard for zilch. The well appointed base model was too well appointed. I don't need power windows or air. I'd have liked to un-opti... read more

Lots of people here seem to love this car, so maybe I just had a bad experience, but I found the Yaris aweful to drive. We were pretty much sold on getting this car until we actually drove it and felt sick afterwards. Maybe this was because we're quite tall, so the angle of the windscreen seemed to distort things. This was the same both as a passenger and the driver. I've never had this trouble in any other car. Just be careful with the poor rear visability - you won't be able to see littlies if they're behind the car. Pric... read more

The car i drove had a lot of noise come through the cabin, so that is something that needs to be worked on. Its also rather cramped on the inside (the seats feel too small even for an average sized person like myself). Considering it has a 1.5L engine i was suprised at how bad the fuel economy was even on the long country drive i took. The cabin is dull, boring and counterintuitive. THe mid dash speedo is just wrong and could lead to many crashes. Go for the far better alternatives like the Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2 or Citroen C... read more

We have two new Yaris's at work. It is impossible to drive either of them at a constant speed - both of them either accelerate or decellerate, there is no balance point where you can maintain a constant speed. The steering is vague, and I wouldn't want to be in an accident in one - there's very little to protect you. I can't understand why anyone would buy one of these voluntarily. Quiet, reasonably comfortable, fuel efficient. Under-powered engine in auto transmission is almost dangerous. Sound system is dreadful.
