    I really like the look of this car, the headlights do wonders for the styling and this is actually a fun to drive Toyota. Only problem is that the drivetrain is totally out of date, but as long as you get the manual, that's not a huge deal. As for the fuel economy, it's all relative to how you drive. I for one believe that anything over 30 mpg is a win these days. But this Yaris is a very nice alternative even though it still lags behind the Honda Fit overall. Nice review Alex!

  • @catalpasymbiote2331

    O.K. I have been considering both the Prius C, and Yaris for my next vehicle purchase. I have looked at the Nissan Versa Note (whose fuel economy I like), the Honda Fit (also, fuel economy), and have learned that of the three automakers, Toyota products are more reliable. From what I understand, from the reviews I have watched, and specs I have studied, the Prius C and Yaris make the most since. I am purchasing for fuel economy (first), reliability (second), and cargo room (3rd). All models considered have their cons: the Prius is as slow as a slug, and lacks the cargo room I would like to have, but more than makes up for these things with its efficiency; the Yaris is perhaps the last fuel efficient, has marginal cargo room, but seems to make up for what it lacks in its reliability and low purchase price; the Nissan Versa Note, and Honda Fit both boast great fuel economy, but lack reliability, and therefore higher operational costs. My question is this: of you owners of 2014-2016 Prius C (One, Two, or Three), and 2014-2016 Yaris (L, LE, S), what are the pros and cons of your vehicle?

  • @AAutoBuyersGuide
    @AAutoBuyersGuide  10 лет назад +9

    Bobby, it's the low purchase price vs low operational costs question. You'd be far better off in the long term with a 50-60MPG Prius C, or a 36MPG Civic/Corolla.

      Robert Cheung It really depends on how much you drive each year. If you drive over 15k miles a year, you'll pay off the extra cost of the Prius in no time. Probably 3-5 years.

  • @lonestartex1
    @lonestartex1 10 лет назад +1

    Having owned a Yaris with the 5 speed, would not recommend that transmission because of the vague engagement point. The clutch is a drive by wire setup and after 5 years of ownership I still find myself over revving. The worst part is wearing boots or heavy shoes which will reduce the pedal feel and IMO can get dangerous if you're crossing an intersection. You don't want to stall in front of oncoming traffic in winter time LOL. To sum it up, the manual in a Yaris is dangerous unless you live in a dry climate and can drive with tennis shoes or flip flops.

    @john21031 9 лет назад +2

    Alex, people have routinely been getting 40 plus mpg with this 1NZFE engine and this 4 speed auto. Don't know how you managed to get 32. It's a proven engine transmission combo that is incredibly reliable and fuel efficient. The only minus for the 2015 Yaris is that it is no longer made in Japan but is made in France...

    Re. the competition comments in the end, I found that Fit was just as good as Soul for interior room. Soul looks boxy, but it's an illusion, in my experience, or at least Fit is that good. I found Accent rather competitive (not mentioned by Alex).

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  10 лет назад

      Pete Zaitcev I agree that the Fit is very accommodating, but I was able to fit more in the soul. There is more room under the cargo load floor which helped out considerably. I had a Soul and a Fit on either ends of a family trip and the Soul handled the luggage with room to spare while the Fit was packed.

    @toddp7324 10 лет назад +2

    I love your videos, Alex. When you talk about prices, however, I wish you would at least acknowledge that MSRP is not equivalent to sales price--otherwise your comments can come across as misleading. You say, for example, that a comparable Versa Note or a Fiesta SFE will be more expensive than the Yaris. In the real world, that's not true; both the Versa Note and Fiesta routinely sell for at least $2000 under MSRP, while the Yaris sells much closer to its MSRP because it is so hard to find. That's my main problem with the Yaris: I like it, but it's overpriced.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  10 лет назад +4

      While it is true at the moment that the Yaris sells closer to MSRP than the Note, only the 2014 Fiesta is selling below MSRP, the 2015 transactions appear much like the Yaris. I only ever use MSRP because the transaction prices are subject to change and nobody knows what things will be like in 6 months. One has to choose a rational comparison method and stick with it, MSRP without discount is the simplest way to do that. Also keep in mind that only 44% of shoppers haggle with dealers according to CNW Research. That means that the majority of customers look at the sticker price as *the* price. In general a car like the Yaris may sell close to MSRP at the start, but after we see the new Mazda2, the 2015 Fiesta selling in volume, the next generation 2016 Accent should launch in 2015, we will see the Yaris slip back to where it was in 2014. Keeping in mind that over half of sales go essentially at MSRP, and that transaction prices can fall like this after a year or two, you can see why I use MSRP on a video that will in theory live on the internet forever. It's not perfect, but you have to use a method that can stay consistent over time.

    • @Lucky8s
      @Lucky8s 9 лет назад +1

      J Chu I disagree completely. As you can imagine, a smaller car would be more fuel economical, but the Yaris is strange in that it doesn't even get the MPG that a larger Corolla gets. LE Eco trim gets 30/42. If they put a CVT in it instead of that antiquated 4A, then I'd definitely consider it.

      They're not in the same class, my friend, I don't think many buyers cross shop the Corolla and Camry, on the contrary, when they see the cost of a new Camry compared to a new Corolla, which is nearly as comfortable and roomy, they'll go for the smaller one. It;s not wonder Camry sales are down and Corolla are up.

      So, if a French designed Japanese car comes up then it is both beautiful and insanely reliable transport. Thank you for making it clear to us.
      BTW I am European I am well familiar with the European market. Italians and the Japanese make the best small cars it is simply because of the geography, they have big cities and limited land space to grow the cities. French self claim to be artistic but the best looking cars are designed by the Britishit small or big. Unfortunately, though, Including the German cars the least reliable cars in the market are European cars.

I also had a friend that worked for Citroen in Athens for a long time. When I came back to the States I found that Hyundai had invested a lot in research to be able to make Japanese-German and French interior cars so your comment is not just humorous, it's a fact. Their Genesis makes me feel richer than I am, but the large Citroens still give "softer" rides with their sophisticated suspensions. Look up C6 to understand the French concept of comfort. Cheers

      @AAutoBuyersGuide  10 лет назад +3

      I agree the 4-speed is an issue for me, but on the flip side the Yaris is all about a low sticker price so it makes sense. By going 4-speed they were able to jam the touchscreen LCD and bluetooth in the base model. The Yaris isn't about speed or fuel economy (as odd as that last one sounds), it is about low purchase price.
