Should you buy one?

If you’re not too fussed about space, and are more concerned with fuel consumption, then yes, we can happily recommend the Toyota Yaris. We’d suggest going for cars with the 16-inch wheels as they have different suspension settings, which makes the Yaris more comfortable and a bit less sporting.

What we like

A 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection, and nearly 70mpg all adds up to a tempting long-term ownership proposition.

What we don’t like

The Ford Fiesta is better to drive, the Volkswagen Polo is palpably nicer inside and the Skoda Fabia is both of these things while also being more practical.
