I like the fuel milege.

[UTVitz]

I like the fuel mileage

I don't like the electronic throttles delayed reponse with the 5 speed-easily stalls on hills.

[brainless twit]

I love the way it looks and drives.

I don't like the lack of remote trunk/auto headlights.

[YAR1S]

I like that it can haul considerably sized things for a subcompact car...

I dont like the bad paint job and the fact that it takes dings too easily.

[chibipod]

I like how much car you get for the money.

I don't like the fact that you need to drill holes to install a cargo net...

[eht13]

I like how much car you get for the money.

This is probably my biggest "like" too. I don't like the center-mounted dashboard (but I guess I'm getting used to it).

I like the gas milege it gets, I love laughing at all the SUV's when filling my tank.


I dislike when it's a windy day.


Over all I'm very happy with both of our Yaris's!!!

[NJBob]

I like the looks (and mileage :tongue:) I wouldn't have bought it just for the mileage, kapeesh?

The Paint sux....but I'll deal with it.

I really like my Lil' Blue. :biggrin:

[Kal-El]

It's hard to pick just ONE thing we like the most, but anyway...

+ The impeccable quality and reliability

- The slightly sensitive clutch that stalls you too easily without sufficient gas.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Good: Excellent FE.

Bad: Mine came without ABS, foglights, spoilers, alloys.

[auxmike]

Like; Sharp lookin' exterior
Dislike; Cloth material used on the seats....:frown:

[buthukoy]

:thumbup:I like the MPG & Toyota reliability..


:thumbdown:
The tallied cost, as each option is added up, for such a car in its slotted subcompact/economical class sucks AsS! hahahaa!! 'Gets ridiculous for a well-optioned one (i.e., someone said they paid $19thou for theirs).. The base, or as close to it, is common sense.

[HTM Yaris]

Like : Everything
Dislike : Nothing

[Inspector14]

Like: fuel economy
Dislike: The Clutch

[bikegerm]

Like: My favorite thing is the variety of mods available and knowledge base of fellow owners that are willing to share their experiences with them.

Dislike: I hate the fact that every time I take my seat belt off, the belt doesn't easily recoil without me guiding it back into the housing !! If I don't do this the uncoiled belt wants to lay in the way of the door sill... Damn that annoys me !!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

^ mine recoils by itself???????

[billk]

Like driving it:thumbup:
dislike the weekends, wife drives it:evil:

[sheraz2000]

Like : love the looks and the drive, and when ppl will turn around to just look at it. (imported her from jap as it is not available at any dealership here).
Dislike : as jinxor said, no mods available here. everything needs to be custom built or imported :(

[jambo101]

Like-mpg
Hate-Placement of front cup holders.

[IsLNdbOi]

I dislike the steering wheel 3 feet away.(I need gorilla arms to reach it comfortably).
You could move the seat forward you know... Or are your legs too long to be able to move the seat forward?


Anyway, my like:
Fuel economy

Dislike:
No steering wheel audio controls

[jambo101]

i love the cup holders one ingenious way to keep your drinks hot or cold
Problem i have is if the cup is too full it spills over the dash and eventually my knee.

[KCALB SIRAY]

Like --- Everything
Hate --- The way people talk bad about it, even though they own one....here's a suggestion, sell it and buy a different car

[enobmort42]

like: the bragging rights to having great mileage

dislike: i get "pushed" to the other side of my lane when the guy in the lane next to me sneezes.

[500snakz]

If my legs were 3 feet shorter, it would work fine. I am 5"11 and an average size. There is no position that is comfortable for me. Either the steering wheel is too far away or my knees are cramped up. When I am driving, My upper back does not even touch the back of the seat.

I do love the gas milage tho!!!

[why?]

I love the gas mileage

I hate the clutch. It's absurdly light. I've stalled the darn thing too many times because the clutch feels like a wet noodle.

[Thej3sta2]

Love - Driving a Toyota

Hate - Hondas tryning to race me ALL THE FREAKING TIME...

I'm 5'8" and experience the same issue.
The wheel is just not proportioned correctly in relation to the pedals. It took me a while to get accustomed to the reach. And now other vehicles that were fine before feel cramped. :iono:

[tomato]

I like: the economy.
I hate, hate, hate: the clutch. Sure hope I get used to it soon.

[Yar Is Word]

Like: more stability than previous ECHO, Yaris feels like a mini suv
Dislike: gear indicator, fuel gauge, and odometer on passener side

[texkid]

LOVE: all the little features you get for small "economical" car

HATE: the clutch

[1NZYaris1]

Love : The car in total :drool:
Hate : the fact that it is cheaper to import the parts
i want out of the USA , than it is to buy them locally:iono:

[signs]

Like: It's small yet punchy for a 1.3
Dislike: There are a lot of little compartments, but no one big one to put stuff like cds, large drink bottle etc.. otherwise loves it!!

edit: I also dislike the digital dashboard (don't know if its the position or wot), but when I drive back at sunset, I can't see the odometer because of the sun.

[SilverBack]

Like: Engine's small but mighty power
Dislike: Pointless backseat

[TANATAUg]

Like: 'Yota build quality!
Dislike: Don't know if it's the clutch or the fly-by-wire. Been driving stick since '72 - have never experienced this many failure-to-launch episodes.

Round here, if it aint a truck - it's a target.

[hatchbackkid82]

love the cheap maintenance

could use a lil more power stock 120 hp fromthe factory would be nice

[33OH]

Like: Everything about the car except my dislike.

Dislike: Steering wheel sits too high, can't tilt it down enough.

[AlexNet0]

Love the general feel of the car, ease to mod.

Hate that the lower seat doesnt go back farther (big guy)

[roxy1]

Loved the mileage

Hated the ridiculous reach to the steering wheel (im just over 6') when my legs were comfortable or my legs being crunched when i moved close enough to reach the wheel. i couldnt live w/ it any longer and traded it.

[wooverstone8]

Like: Excellent Fuel Economy.

Dislike: No “S” model available in my region.

[regal]

Like - peppy, fuel economy, 2-door hatch

Dislikes - stock suspension (fixable),
no koni shocks available (due time?),
driver seat has zero thigh support (fixable),
solid rear axel (only design mistake that I see, should be indepedant rear to compete with Honda.)

[Yaris Hilton]

Since nobody else has said it, I LIKE the center instrument pod!

Steering wheel's a little low and awkward to climb in and out under for me. Have to tilt it all the way up, but it's more comfortable driving with it all the way down. Wish the keyless remote could open the trunk.

[Havana]

Like = The reactions it gets from people. Some tell me I'm so smart for buying a quality made economical car. Others feel sorry for me because they think I'm so poor I could only afford a Yaris. I love that look of confusion when I tell them I actually chose a Yaris over several more expensive cars.

Dislike = The fuel gauge and clock locations should be switched in the American market cars. I don't mind the center gauges but the fuel gauge is too far out of the driver's line of sight. It's also the most inconsistent fuel gauge I've ever had. It can only tell me when the car is full or empty. Anything in between is pure guess work.
