Toyota Yaris 1.0 VVT-i T Spirit 3d (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bit pricy, especially from a dealer - the Yaris blue that came out 2 months after we bought ours had everything except our air-con, but was 3 grand cheaper!!!
Costs
Cheap to run so far, very economical with the fuel!
-
On the road
Driving
Good, but a bit twitchy. Especially if the winds up. Turns on a sixpence though - very nippy!
Performance
For a one litre engine, it's fantastic. You'll be surprised. Struggles on hills, but on most roads it keeps up with the traffic no problems.

Living with it
Reliability
Has to be said, reverse gear is a bit temperamental, and the clutch has taken to making a strange noise recently.
Image
Looks good, specially in dark blue.
Comfort
Plenty of leg/headroom, would like some extra space next to the clutch. Seats are much better than they first appear.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but so what? Central locking locks the doors again after 30 seconds if you open them by mistake.
Service
Not been for a service, but the sales people were excellent.
