first off, great article, love to see some input on my favorite segment of cars. my wife and I just purchased a 2010 Yaris off the lot last sept. and absolutely love it. its the 3 door liftback model with the sluggish automatic. I’m used to driving a Jeep Wrangler on 37′s so the Yaris does please me quite well on the acceleration. Throttle response is a bit sensitive upon launch but that may be the torque converter kicking in. We’ve both gotten used to glancing over at the oddly placed center dash gauges but it actually opens up the viewing area to pay more attention to the road and your surroundings. I love how simple the setup is and how easy it is to work on. I’ve already swaped heat units, added cruise control which IS supported native in the ECM. Air filter & Cabin filter are easy swap outs and oil changes are a breeze to do. There is nothing complicated to go wrong like a clunky power steering system or automatic belt tensioners. there is enough space in the engine compartment to easily replace any item in the future should something go wrong, keeping labor hours down or making it easier for the DIY mechanic. we were lucky enough to find a certified pre-owned on lot with fully automatic locks, windows, and keyless entry added, HUGH bonus over the piece of junk focus we got rid of.
I can see this car easily lasting to be our unborn childs first car.

Thanks, Kurt. Your comparison of these 3 little ones have been very helpful to make an informed decision. I read your articles before and I found them clear and unbiased. Thanks, again.

Slim,

Nissan and Honda combined are about equal to Ford, and Honda alone has twice the production of Chrysler, so it’s a wash. And I’m not ‘promoting’ foreign cars. Have you read my reviews on the Flex and Malibu? I think they’re both among the best cars of 2008. Additionally, when a Toyota is built entirely within the United States, I consider it a domestic car, supporting American workers, helping the American economy.

I love this country (most of the time) and always make sure I’m buying USA made AS LONG AS the products are of utmost quality and value. But I refuse to compromise and buy inferior, crapcan products just to support an inferior, crapcan company – American or otherwise. I think the Old Big 3 are realizing this, as evidenced by some of their terrific new models (Chrysler excluded).

Thanks for reading, and for your honest feedback.

Kurt G.

nissan and honda together is not nearly as big as ford alone let alone GM, and Toyota only out sold GM in these tough times when many people wanting cars could not get credit and they outsold them by a very small margin. You live in America why would you promote foreign cars so much? For the past five years the imports have had more recalls than American made cars………………..
