Yaris S 2007 sweeeeet

Pros: fuel economy, Yaris S sporty looks, Roomy, and Trunk Space

Cons: loud noise from outside

Review: i love this car ever since we owned it! I love the sporty look of it. We bought a different Rim cause the stock one looks and feels like wobble, thats why I get a 17" Enkie DM5 with yokohama tire in it, After that I loved it more because of better performance on handling. Did i mention the fuel economy? specially now the gas price is going higher and higher. The trunk dont get fooled by the looks of it cause it is roomier than it looks like. I think the inside is roomier than corolla. The mp3 hook ups inside is nice too. If your in fuel economy type then this is the one for you, it got the looks and mid performance

Nice looking car with enough space for everyone

Pros: Economic, Safe & Fast Start

Cons: Slow in going beyond

Review: I think it's a good deal for anybody who wish to save in gaz on a long run. Full a full tank I'm able to drive it 600km without having to fill it.

Toyota brand has become one of the leader in the car industry and then again they prove it with this car.

What a DEAL...

Best of it's class if economy is your priority

Pros: great value, good fuel economy, ok looks

Cons: a bit rough and noisy, upgrade options expensive

Review: If you want to buy the cheapest brand new car from a well known company this is one of your best choices. At first I was considering a second hand but fancier car. Yet for the same price range all you can get is a car with way too many miles and years. And when it comes to second hand economy cars, the truth is people usually don't take good care of them.

So for a 4 door sedan, the choices were between the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Accent and the Honda Civic. The Yaris turned out to be the best bang for the buck. With a little bit of negotiation I was able to get a good feature set for a little more than the suggested price of a base model. Had it for about a month now and the fuel economy is amazing! I do have a gentle driving style but I have to say that this has to be the closest you can get next to a hybrid without having to pay the hefty price tag of one.

You have to realize that the 2 door hatchback and the 4 door sedans were designed by completely different teams. The 2 door is considerably smaller and cramped than the 4 door. Yet all three base models: 2 door hatch back, 4 door sedan and 4 door ?S? model come with the same 1.5 engine. The engine is tiny but has enough power to pull the light weight of the car around. One thing to keep in mind though is that the so called ?S? model is nothing much more than the same 4 door sedan except for the body kit and a spoiler among other things as standard.

At the end of the day it is all about personal taste and perception but if this fits what you expect from a car and all you need is a no frills car to get you from point A to B, this is a must see option to consider.
