Toyota’s 2017 Yaris iA sedan is basically a re-badged Mazda 2 subcompact that’s entirely different from the Yaris hatchback. It’s small and inexpensive, but Chris Wardlaw calls it the best subcompact sedan out there, complementing its engine, ride, and handling and giving it a perfect 10 for cost effectiveness. It doesn’t even attempt to hide its Mazda roots, but that’s fine given what a strong job Mazda does, particularly with interior look and feel.
The Yaris iA uses a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder that produces 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque, paired with a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed automatic. With the automatic, it gets 35 mpg combined; the manual drops that number to 34. The Yaris iA has lively handling, but its modest power makes highway on-ramps and passing on two-lane roads a little challenging. Technology is Yaris iA’s weakness, unfortunately, since it does not offer a navigation system, satellite radio, or support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

The 2017 Toyota Yaris iA is a tiny and inexpensive little sedan that will surprise you by how refined, responsive, and remarkably good it is.
Cutting to the chase, I like the Toyota Yaris iA. However, it is important to make a critical distinction between the Yaris iA and a standard Toyota Yaris hatchback.
The iA sedan was originally a Scion. When Toyota cancelled that youth-oriented brand after the 2016 model year, it folded the iA sedan into the existing Yaris lineup of 3-door and 5-door hatchbacks, which have nothing in common with the iA sedan aside from a nameplate.
While the Yaris hatchbacks offer tempting levels of utility, the Yaris iA sedan is the one you want if you’re shopping for a small and affordable Toyota. That’s because aside from Toyota emblems and a questionably styled face, the iA sedan represents 100% Mazda goodness.

This is my commuter car, and it’s actually a great car that simply gets you from point A to point B.
This man described my exact situation, I’m tired of putting thousands into my 2005 Subaru Outback as a college student
I have had the 2018 Yaris IA for like 3 years and I like it. I needed a car to get me from A to B, that is reliable, but still looks nice. it hits the spot. My friends and I always use my car for road trips because my car does the best with gas. It’s a great starter car.
I have a Yaris Ai sedan, model 18, but I discovered that there is commercial fraud in all Mazda spare parts
"starter car". Terms like that really irritate me. No hate, just had to comment on my irritation.
Excellent review. One of the best I have seen about this car.
Coming from a proud IA owner for a year now (That same exact color). I can say your description is spot on. Truly pleasantly surprised by this little car.
This is now my daily driver. This is a great recommendation for a first car
Yaris hatch is a very reliable car, and gets the same mileage. Useful interior is well thought out and while it is not luxurious, it is very practical and comfortable.
Great review, thank you. This review tipped me over to purchasing this car....
I bought a Scion XD in 2008 and I’m still driving it with 160 k miles ! This care has saved me a fortune and has allowed me to invest money 💰 and now I’m all in on Gold,Silver! Cha Ching 💰🥇🥈
thank you for a unbiased opinion on this car. It really helped my car search!
Think I'm gonna get this car Friday. Very excited!!!
This guy should be a salesman - Very good video.
Great review! You are indeed the Guru!
I am getting between 46-49 mpg average in mixed driving with the 6 speed manual transmission. Amazing!
that's my buying point right now since the payment is a tad high because my credit is pretty mesed up.so i am definitely getting it (:
How do you check MPG in this car
Vish think it tells u on the screen
fcs 7
I wish I could find one with a stick!! So rare
Monthly payments alot for me, only because i’m 22, first car, low credit & got License last year. and the price tag was 18,000.
But i enjoy it, its fast & saves on gas.
Just needs better rims and tint windows which i’ll customize
Ahmed Adam Andalus my youngest son just bought a Yaris IA just 3 days ago, it’s his first car in his own name.
Same with me
I have the 6spd manual version of this car, only way to go. Got the car for 13k brand new in late 2017 because it had been sitting on the lot forever since it was a manual. I use it for uber and doordash and have close to 60k miles now. Just replaced my battery last month and im on my 2nd set if tires.... thats it, great car! Im 5’10” and have 2 small girls under 10 so its perfect for now.
Just purchased one this week and it is surprisingly fun! I can not say what it will feel like on the freeway but she is very steady. It is very different than the 1984 Tercel or 1990 Hyundai Excels I had . Those cars were scary on the freeway ; They felt like floating on an air cushion.

great review
great review!
“I get it. You want a reliable car that only costs $150 in monthly downpayment.” me whispering no and CRYING in my $427 New York City monthly car insurance payments
Great review & I think the car looks nice
Rented one for a week on business trip. Thought it was pretty sweet. Only issue was getting in n out, upper front door opening is a bit on the tight side. I had a tough time getting my shoulders past the opening unless I entered completely sideways. Once seated though I really enjoyed the car, pretty fun to drive.
The seat lowers allowing a 6 foot 3 and maybe bigger driver get in and out. This car feels roomier than the 3 and Miata.
Good Morning, could you help by providing a link to the most affordable SD Navigation card for this 2018 Toyota Yaris IA? Thanks.
I first saw this car and thought WTF, that's not a Toyota... Found out it's basically a Mazda. No wonder I thought "WTF..."
outstanding review....
I dont know what it is about this guy, but he's just so cool. 🤔
LOVE your review...
So if I get it and down the line I need to replace a part do you buy a Toyota part or Mazda??
Hey Chris Wardlaw, We just test drove this car for my daughter recently. Just wanted to see what you thought about how does this ia compare to the Corolla? Is it worth paying a little more to step up to the Corolla? Thanks.
What do you think of a 2018 Yaris IA with 53k miles for 15k? Am i getting a good deal or should i negotiate lower?
An odd thing to note. Whenever you hook your OBD2 scanner up to a Yaris with the 1.5 ltr engine, your scanner will always insist the car is a Toyota Vitz or it will not let you proceed with a detailed diagnostic.
Thanks.. Good info!
Bought mine for 72 months interest free. Yup a bargain. I used the money I saved to buy 17 inch black rims to match my black IA. Had it for a year and it's performed like a champ. I originally wanted the Mazda 3 but Mazda never offers 0 percent so their loss. The gas mileage is the best and with zero percent going the way of the dodo bird as interest rates are now going up and gas going up? I made the right decision :)
Well , the Yaris is ia is a Mazda 2 , so you technically bought a Mazda anyway.
I have an 08 Yaris and they are very reliable. I heard the Fit was uncomfortable. Are the interior parts made by Toyota?
2:26 Yes, that is me currently with a salvaged 2004 Volkswagen Passat that was passed down through my family and onto me
Can't you get Sirius Satellite with an adapter for the radio?
You are a master communicator ! Looking for a good car if my $2K 2KMGM takes a💩. The car has been mine just a year the ride is choice I want her to carry my forever but she is already classified an antique.
Festiva was a mazda drivetrain... had one ... great car
great little car.
Seriously thinking about this car , my wife owns a green Mazda 2 and I spend more time behind the wheel of that little car than in my new Nissan Altima which thanks God it is a lease so …. I have options …. by the way , I'm a Mazda guy .
I think this car might be a better choice than a similarly-equipped Honda Fit, especially considering the price.
Steven James DeBlasi and gas mileage the fit gets less
The Honda Fit is slightly cheaper, though. However, the quality of the driving experience goes to the Yaris. The Honda Fit is zippy, but the handling is lackluster. I test-drove the Yaris with a friend, who was in the market for a new car, and I have to say, I was really impressed with that little car.
Is the automatic model cvt? I don’t like cvts
i just got thjis exact car color and all i want to know is how to get the key icon off the dash and where does the actual key go if the fob dies.
Thanks for the review,
Let me know
I will by a Honda!
I just bought a 2018 Yaris IA so did I buy a Mazda or a Toyota?
they should have left the mazda styling on the front. why the catfish grill? other than that, cute car.
This car is lovely how can I get one am Franklin from Ghana
The only thing i find inconvenient in the car is that theres no automatically installed middle arm rest bc i drive resting my arm and i'd have to pay an extra 200 to get it
WHat about the reiability of this car? will it last a long time with minimal mechanical problems?
Nodq Soulja yes
The iA uses Mazda's 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine which Scotty gives good marks for. Scotty is a good mechanic, he has his own channel. Search him up
@@dylanhughes5944 🤣🤣🤣
@@hubsanrcproductions7222 why?
Excellent reviewer!
I just bought a 2019 Yaris. Love it. I'm sort of confused with the Mazda and Toyota. Is this a Toyota with a Mazda engine?
It is 100% a Mazda 2 sedan with an ugly front put on by Toyota. It is built in Mexico. Its warranty and repairs are covered by Toyota. Good news is this car, now discontinued in America, has been around so long all the bugs are allegedly worked out, unlike most modern vehicles.
I’m using this since a year ago. Max mpg I get is 30.4 😰
2017 Mazda 2
185/60/16 is a very peculiar tire size. I would recommend installing 15" size wheels. That will open up your market options for a dozen of great tires. Continental True Contacts in 185/65/15 are on my Scion xB, they rock.
Victor H i just put on 205/60/16 on my stock wheels, much cheaper than the stock replacements.
I heard for 2019 they're not bringing in the Toyota Yaris sedan in Hawaii.
Itz beauty!
Funny, I had a used 1993 Festiva for years and now have a manual Yaris iA.
excellent reviewer!!!! I am a proud owner of this car now
Me 2, it is FUN and gets amazing gas mpg.
Do you guys feel like speeding up to pass or quick acceleration is a problem? I'm looking to buy one this week but that's the only thing that's kept me a little hesitant.
I never had a problem accelerating!
Katie Witt it's quick for normal driving. you should just test drive one before you buy. I love mine.. .so much fun to drive yet excellent mpg. this isn't a race car , it has enough power for what it is
I love mine had it for 2 years no problems at all, the ONLY reason I got this was because of the gas
Do you still have this car?
thatlovegirl12 still do . It’s 3 years now and my only problem is
With the acceleration, the cars acceleration sucks especially driving in California up the mountains . Or in the free way. When you’re trying to pass a car you better pray and step on the gas. And it’s still not enough . But other than that . It’s nice
Yes, this car is very affordable and great features but be very prepared to pay for very expensive parts and tires. The tires are only made by Toyo which cost about $120-140/tire. The brake pads as well are very expensive only sold by Toyota just the front pads cost $100.
That is useful information, thank you.
Just searched Mavis Tire. I found a dozen tires for this car, from many brands, between $70 and $150 per tire. Very common size. FYI.
he’s mildly correct only found one other near me was 108 while the toyo are 114
About front brakes, my car need it to replace and cost $250 in the dealer. Is a good price in other place?
I just put on 205/60/16 lionheart tires for $46 a pop on my 2017 yaris ia. Brake pads I replaced for under $50 I bought on amazon or Walmart I can’t remember now. You’re doing it all wrong! Lol
The question is, is it as reliable as a regular true toyota yaris.
test drove it - headrests are way too aggressive. not sure how anyone can sit straight and have good posture in it
Wow my 2000 Saturn sl2 has more hp and torque than a brand new car. And it weighs the same that is amazing.
Any expert please, do you think a 2017 Toyota Yaris iA w/ 67,000 miles for $15k is a good deal?
That's what buyers were paying new out the door tax and tags included back in 2017.
i have 2 complaints for this car
1. if ur rear passenger has bog shoes they will have a very hard time getting out
2. this is specific to where you live, but not a single place except for the dealership has that size tire. And my dealership only has the standard toyo tires
Isn’t the rear camera federal law?
So there's no satellite radio? What about sun roof?
No.
Can't you add Satellite via a little adapter?
Moonroof isn’t available on any of the 2019 trims either. Nor is Apple CarPlay. 😖
Best TOYOTA in years ... I mean MAZDA :)
I have a Yaris Ai sedan, model 18, but I discovered that there is commercial fraud in all Mazda spare parts
Last time I hired a car was a Yaris & I HATED it! I kept smashing my foot through the firewall trying to make it go anywhere & from memory it had a horrible clutch.... in saying that, as much as I love the new Mazda 2, they've just announced a bunch of recalls on them, I suspect because our ones sold in the southern hemisphere are manufactured in Thailand
Is this a joke? Its a mazda 2?!
Reminds me of Eeyore for some reason...
The car that is...
Check out the 2018 Hyundai Accent. It looks super-fantastic for a cheap car.
Christopher Calder I currently drive a 13 accent 5dr and it’s a great little car. A bit loud but super cheap to own and I average 38mpg.
@Christopher Calder the new accent is an amazing package. I’m trying to figure out what I should get for my next car the accent with a stick or a Yaris ia with a stick!?
Made in Mexico???
A car is a car....
now I know why versa is unbeatable at this category.
The Versa is less $. $10 out the door for a base model is hard to beat. Lots of Room. But.. no Zoom. They are DULL> not that it matter. It is does not to a lot of people. The iA is likely better Built and gets better MPG.
why does this car does not have toyota safety sense...i thought it was standard across all toyota line up??
It has a pre collison braking system. It will automatically stop the car.
Just put a down payment on a '20 Yaris sedan
By the time I was ready to get I was 3 years too late. Lol so I got a Corolla
Focus gives 160 hp and about the same economy . Focus can be had for 12k on black friday. Yes its not a toyota but not bad for the price . Would rather get a scion tc for 15k used with low miles than this yaris .
Hala Heleu the focus is known for having terrible transmissions. Good luck.
Then why are u watching the Yaris iA video ?
I would never trust a Ford long term.
djkenny ive had a few Fords and they will nickel and dime the shit out of you but the engine and transmission will chug on endlessly. Have a 96 explorer at 202k miles and runs smooth as can be. 05 focus at 160k and runs like its brand new. Side note, the new automatics are a disaster for the Focus and Fiesta. Has to be driven like a manual and people just cant grasp it and have issues even though the problems been fixed in most cars.
Love the car, except the ugly front end. I have noticed that if the car is dark blue or black that the hideousness of the grill is not as obvious.
From what I gather, the sedan is a rebaged Mazda while the hatchback is an actual toyota with a regular transmission if you opt for an automatic plus the practicality of the hatchback, you can't go wrong. I'll pass on this.
I got the hatchback for that reason alone. If I wanted a mazda, i would have bought a mazda.
No thanks. Give me all toyota parts and easy to find replaceable parts.
This is essentially my 2000 Civic
Not at all..
'17 ford fiesta or this one?
This one is reliable.
Toyota corrolla s or s plus with a manual.
I don’t know why they keep calling this a Toyota Yaris when in reality it is a Mazda 2 with a Toyota label, a model that is over 5 years old. Toyota is trying to trick ppl telling them it’s a new Yaris. Meanwhile the UK gets the real Toyota Yaris 2020. I don’t know why Toyota is doing this with Mazda and the new Supra BMW.
Thank you Toyota for cutting corners. 👎🏼👎🏼
Because they can.
I don’t think it’s better than the corollas or camrys but all toyota are great
Too bad you guys didn't get the Mazda 2. It is so much better compared to this.
Not much better, I owned a Mazda 2...it had sharper turn in and handled slightly better but was bouncy on the bumps and smaller and got less gas mpg. The iA is larger, safer, better gas mpg, fun shifter and handling without the bounce over bumps.
buildmorefarms100 the iA is literally the Mazda 2 with a different bumper and headlight. If you like the scion iA that means you will like the Mazda 2 more. My Mazda 2 is firm on bumps, qualified interior, automatic a/c, 4 rear sensors, paddle shifters, heads up display, disc brakes, led headlights and led foglights, bodykits . The new Mazda 2 has good mileage which is literally the same engine as the scion. Good choice tho
True but i was referring to the previous 2011 Mazda 2 hatchback in comparison.
buildmorefarms100 I know, but the Mazda 2 2017 is better in my opinion when it comes to looks but the scion is not bad.
We cannot get those in the USA, so it is Moot :)
Sorry not a fan of Mazda I was thinking about getting this car but I will pass now
Only thing stupid about this is you having a monthly payment, & I think you failed to mention the very expensive complete insurance you had to pay. Buy what car you can afford & pay cash.
Because dumbo! Inflation was non existant back in 2017 when this review was filmed during the Trump era...
106 hp is a deal breaker for me.
wildwest1 it weighs 2300 lbs. you literally don't need any more than that. It's actually pretty quick.
Add a cold air intake and a performance chip and you'd increase hp by 30-40 horses. In sport mode it's pretty quick relatively speaking and that's w/o the add-ons. Imo a very good entry car for the price and features.
Go drive a first generation Miata and you'll find that 100 hp can be fun.
Is this car as fun to drive as a Miata though? I'm in between buying the 2015 Mazda MAZDA6 i Grand Touring Sedan (Used at 20k miles) or this. Probably the 2018. Ahh the mazda 6 looks amazing but has a huge downpayment compared to the New 2018 Toyota Yaris iA. I've always bought used cars so I'm inclined to take a chance on the Toyota but that mazda 6...
Wtf was Mazda thinking with this??? Letting Toyota cosmetically fuck their car up like this... This could've been a "lure" for people on a budget to become loyal to a brand... specifically a smaller car company (specifically compared to GM & Toyota) like Mazda where a ton of people have no clue whar they're missing!!!
I wish Toyota could just stop selling this ugly fish Mazda 2 and sell the Vios in America instead. The Vios is far more reliable than the Mazda 2.
Terrible review 😤😤 I want a visual review of the vehicle!
*MAZDA IS GARBAGE. MY MAZDA 3 MOTOR BLEW AT 40,000*
Skip the storytime and go to the point, please.
This vehicle has always been a piece of crap and still is.
Yet it attracted you to come watch.
Yes it's a piece of shit, but it is THE shit. And man, that's the shit I want.
Steven Zephycrs 😂😂😂😂right
Does he mean the Yaris in general? Or Mazda in general?
It's a Mazda. That's normal, lol.
I have a Yaris Ai sedan, model 18, but I discovered that there is commercial fraud in all Mazda spare parts
