Base models of the Toyota Yaris start at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of just under $13,000 as of October 2010. With EPA estimated gas mileage of 29 miles per gallon in city driving and 35 miles per gallon on the highway, the Yaris is less costly to own and operate than many similar new cars. The Yaris is available in sedan, three-door liftback and five-door liftback designs.
Safety
A large number of safety features are standard on the Yaris. These include anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, tire monitoring, front and side airbags and structural features to protect vehicle occupants in a crash.
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation rated the Yaris for vehicle safety. All models received four out of a possible five stars for protection in a rollover accident. With the exception of a three star rating for the three-door liftback for safety for a backseat passenger in a side collision, each Yaris rated four to five stars for front and side collisions for drivers, front and rear seat passengers.
Standard Features
Air conditioning, rear window defroster, tilt steering wheel, adjustable front seats, fold down rear seat, luggage cover, trunk light, map light and several small storage compartments are standard interior features on the Yaris. Standard exterior features include intermittent front windshield wipers, wheel covers, a roof-mounted antenna and halogen headlamps.
Options
Powered outside mirrors, power door locks, remote keyless entry, rear-window wiper, cruise control, fog lamps and a tachometer are only available as options. If you want a radio, CD or MP3 player you will need to add it. The Yaris comes with four speakers and it is ready for a radio, but the radio, itself, is an option. A 60-40 split on the fold-down rear seat, upgraded upholstery and leather on the steering wheel and shift knob are also available at additional cost.
