Description of Cheap = Relatively low in cost; inexpensive or comparatively inexpensive.

So, "Yaris is not cheap... it is an inexpensive car." does not make sense to me
It's pretty much "Cheap = Inexpensive".

Considering the Yaris has been out in the showroom for nearly five years without any major changes (except for minor facelift)--I think the Yaris is holding its own. Plus you have to consider the competition has changed. New sub-compacts have grown.

Actually they are very different terms.

"Cheap" can describe "inexpensive" but really it means low overall quality, low quality materials, flimsy, cheesy, ect. This is how he meant it.

The Yaris is none of these things.

Ah! I see.
Now everything makes sense.
Yaris definitely is not a cheap car
