The Yaris is an economy car and off the lot does as it should; gets you from point A to B. For us old timers, 11 years and counting of reliable Toyota quality should tell people something. As for creature comforts, being noisy and supposedly "choppy ride".. I have no idea what they are talking about lol.

Wow, sure glad that I like to form my own opinions on things, or I would have missed out owning one of my favorite cars in 35 or so years of driving. It's also one of the least expensive cars I have ever owned if you take into account the buying power of the dollar at the time of purchase over the years. It is peppy & fun for what it is (at least the manual that I drive), ride is fine except on the worst of roads, handling is crisp & tight, seats are comfortable, & I'm averaging at least 6 MPG over what the invoice sticker on the window indicated when I bought the car. Shame though how many people believe whatever they read in 'Consumer Reports', etc. I hope that they are enjoying their crappy new Civic, Fit or whatever.

^^^ Yup. BTW, the Toyota Tacoma also made the list.

I've had a 2007 and 2014 Yaris, both GREAT cars... well built, comfortable, fun, practical, functional, reliable, inexpensive to maintain, plenty quick even with the "antiquated" 4-speed (which is a brilliant transmission), and very nimble.

Do you want to drive a noisy, uncomfortable, lethargic, clumsy little hatchback? Try a Honda FIT.. which surprisingly gets rave reviews!

not just tacoma, but also the tC (says tC shows an iQ) and the iQ
i do agree with all the chrysler and jeep and mitsubishi products

"Choppy ride" probably means it doesn't have marshmallow soft suspension.

I admit that my Yaris was a bit of an unexpected purchase. We had gone to the local Toyota dealer as my wife wanted a V6 Camry, sold here is Aus at the time as an Aurion. We got better that expected deal, had been talking about needing a second car, so we took the Yaris for a test drive.

Went to the dealer expecting to buy 1 car and ended up buying 2.

To be honest, I much prefer driving the Yaris with its 2NZ-FE and auto trans to the other car. It's such a fun car!

Whover wrote that report has either never driven a Yaris, or want to be wafted along totally divorced from the ojtside world.

Bahahaha... I wouldn't get too upset, it's an amateur home finance, design and review site - the website is all auto formatted from a website creator. Articles have 1k views, all opinion stuff - this automotive one only has 700 or so, a bunch probably just us, lol. I don't get the impression this is going to shake the automotive world. If when reading about cars you source your research on junk like that, you kind of deserve whatever you end up with.

It was the A pillar in the Fit that especially drove me nuts, and the CVT, which they didn't have and wouldn't guarantee me a manual until I put money down. So I walked to Toyota who actually made calls and straight up said we don't have any, you'd have to build a 2018. But anywho..

I will avoid taking advice from a website that mentions the Scion tC and puts the iQ photo, ¿who doesn´t know the Scion tC (Toyota Zelas here)? xD
Anyway, the informations seems outdated and many of those car are no longer selling like the shortlived Chrysler 200and the i Miev is long dead, is just a eclectic list of info from CR.

Ugh, everyone hates the Yaris because it's "outdated" but I find that to be one of it's best qualities. The stuff works, why mess with it if it is still powerful and efficient enough to do the job?
