The corolla is a better choice for not much more money at all.The corolla has more power, more room, and gets a little better gas mileage. The corolla has more options such as cruise control which comes in very handy if you freeway commute. However all Toyotas are fine cars and extremely reliable and the Yaris or Vitz are no exception.

Answer 4

Sure, if you just want a cheap car. It will probably last a long time, too. They haven't been around long enough for me to tell you any problems with them, and I haven't worked on one so I don't know much about them but I don't think Toyota would produce a piece of junk.

Of course, it isn't going to be fast or handle well, but I don't think you are looking for or even expect.

If you like it, go for it.

Answer 5

Good little car. I would wait a while and buy a used one in a few years for Half price though.

Answer 7

They've been on the market outside the US since 1999 and have a very good record. Excellent car.

Answer 8

NO. Buy a Corolla if you're looking for gas mileage.

Or get a Civic Hybrid.

Answer 9

No - they are awful and tiny. Look at a Honda Fit or even better - a Nissan Versa, which will be available July 1. More room, more power, still gets 35 mpg.
