For The engine gives perkier performance than the 1.0-litre, for not much more cash. It’s quieter, too, and TR trim provides all the kit you need.

Against The Yaris isn’t as good to drive as many supermini rivals, and the interior feels very cheap.

2 out of 5 stars

This is our favourite version of the Yaris. The engine is the perkiest of the bunch, and TR trim gives the best balance of equipment and affordability.

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.
