For Choosing this model makes Yaris ownership cheap. The interior is impressively roomy and Toyota’s reliability record, along with a long warranty, gives you peace of mind.

Against The tiny engine means this Yaris is very slow and a bit too noisy. T2 trim misses out on some desirable bits of kit, namely alloys and air-con.

Toyota Yaris Hatchback

What Car? says

2 out of 5 stars

This isn’t our favourite version of the Yaris. The engine is too weak and too noisy, and the equipment level is too basic. We’d go for the 1.33 TR.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Three engines are available for the Toyota Yaris. We'd avoid the entry-level 68bhp three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol because it’s very slow, even when you rev it hard. It generates too much noise and vibration, too. The same is true of the 89bhp 1.4-litre diesel, but at least it gives decent performance. We'd go for the 98bhp 1.33 petrol – it's by far the smoothest engine of the bunch. We've driven a hybrid version, too, but Toyota hasn't yet confirmed whether or not it'll be coming to the UK.

The entry-level T2 model is pretty sparse, but TR comes with alloys and air-con, plus a touch-screen stereo system that also incorporates Bluetooth and a reversing camera.

The Yaris comes with a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty, which along with Toyota's reputation for bullet-proof reliability, should give owners great peace of mind.
