Conclusion
The Yaris is a solid little car that doesn't consume a lot of gas and that is cheap to purchase. However, the price climbs quickly with option groups, so if you can't live without air conditioning or a remote keyfob, for example, you'll end up with a $17,000 car; for only $500 more, you can get a 2009 Corolla that's just as equipped, bigger and more refined.
Compared to the other subcompacts, it suffers from a lack of cargo space and seems less refined than the Honda and the Nissan. To get around the city, from point A to point B, though, the Yaris does its job commendably.
