The Yaris has some important strengths, not least its superb fuel economy, excellent reliability and generous standard kit. However, it can’t match the VW Polo for interior quality, infotainment or ride comfort, and it's pretty cramped inside, especially compared with the Honda Jazz.

The GR Sport brings a sportier appearance to the Yaris range, adding larger 18in alloy wheels, sports suspension and front sports seats. It also builds on Design spec by adding dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition and a six-speaker sound system.

A 0-60mph time of 9.0sec won’t set anyone’s trousers on fire, but the Yaris doesn’t struggle to get up to motorway speeds. It’s super economical, especially around town, but the 1.5-litre petrol engine is noisy when you aren't driving gently.
