Interesting but they give high marks to the Spark, Rio, Hyundai also?
 These are long term players? NOT!

Cars like the Rio and Spark have an edge in MSRP price and the Toyota's good ole reliable 4 speed auto isn't doing it any favours with regards to fuel economy.

I just averaged 39.9 mpg on a 1,300 mile trip in a rental with that good ole reliable 4 speed auto.

It's also more than I managed in my own 5-speed on a similar trip, but it was colder with lots of strong headwinds, and I was going faster. I mostly kept the rental between 65 and 70, and the weather was nice to me that time.
When you factor in the incredible reliability and Toyota's strong resale value, I doubt any car could beat the Yaris in affordability, even with a lower MSRP. |

I totally agree with scratchpaddy.
Over the long haul the Yaris should be #1 in having the lowest cost, to drive & maintain. Not to mention that its a great car to zip around in town or out on the open road. |
