The Toyota Yaris has a remarkably tight 32.6-foot turning circle for the sedan and 30.8-foot for the hatchback. Mechanical features include
In 2010 the Toyota Yaris adopted the Toyota Star Safety System as a standard feature that includes anti-lock brakes, stability control and traction control. The Yaris also has a simplistic, cute design that reviewers like, and good fuel economy of 29/35 mpg city/highway. First, the 2011 Toyota Yaris’s interior is bland compared to the competition’s. Unlike the Fiesta and Fit, the Yaris does not prioritize driver comport. Reviewers do point out that Toyota didn’t model the Toyota Yaris after high performance luxury vehicles. "In the end, the…Toyota Yaris remains a sensible choice,” Edmunds says. Unlike the Yaris, the Ford Fiesta comes standard with automatic windows. The Ford Fiesta, averaging 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, matches the Toyota Yaris’s fuel economy. The 2011 Toyota Yaris is offered as a three- and five- door hatchback or a four-door sedan.
The 2011 Toyota Yaris is a subcompact economy car that is available as a three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback and four-door sedan. The Convenience package adds 60/40-split rear seats (slide/recline for the hatchbacks), 15-inch wheels, a rear-window wiper for hatchback models and a CD/MP3 player with auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. The front-wheel-drive 2011 Toyota Yaris is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-4 engine with an output of 106 hp and 103 pound-feet of torque. The superb fuel economy of the Toyota Yaris is one of its strongest selling points. At an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city/36 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined, the manual-equipped Yaris sips less gas than most of the competition.
In government testing, the Yaris sedan scored four out of five stars for frontal- and side-impact protection for all occupants. Both 2011 Toyota Yaris hatchbacks feature cramped rear seats, but the optional slide/recline function adds a bit more comfort to compensate. Styling differs slightly between the sedan and the hatchbacks, with the sedan being more sedate.
Every Toyota Yaris model features a center-mounted instrument panel. Other negatives include the lack of a telescoping steering wheel and the fact that hatchback models don't offer driver seat height adjustment.
Relative to sedan models, Toyota Yaris hatchbacks offer certain advantages when it comes to design and storage capacity. The sedan offers 12.9 cubic feet of luggage capacity less than competing sedans like the Ford Focus, Nissan Versa and Suzuki SX4.
