2017 Toyota Yaris review

1. A no-nonsense ride 

The 2017 Toyota Yaris is a sensible and practical vehicle to get you from point A to point B. Not everyone is looking for a car with all the bells and whistles, and this car is ideal for those who aren’t. If you want a no-nonsense, sensible option to get you and your passengers or cargo where you need to go, consider the 2017 Yaris. 

2. Modern driver assistance features 

All the modern driver assistance features you’d expect can be found in the 2017 Toyota Yaris. That means automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, pre-collision warning, and lane departure warning are all standard features. You may be driving a no-nonsense car, but you can still benefit from modern driver assistance tools. 

3. Transmission options 

While most features are standard on the 2017 Toyota Yaris, there is one available option. That's a transmission option. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is optional. Many car manufacturers have moved to automatic only, so if you're looking for a manual transmission, the 2017 Yaris might be a good fit. 

4. Excellent fuel economy 

The 2017 Toyota Yaris is a great car to buy if you're looking for good gas mileage. The EPA estimates 33 mpg combined gas mileage for the manual transmission, which breaks down to 30 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. If you have an automatic transmission, the EPA estimate is similar, at 32 mpg combined, including 30 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

5. Upgraded interior 

The size and performance of the 2017 Toyota Yaris may seem sensible and basic, but the interior goes above and beyond. Its well-designed interior looks like it belongs in a higher-end vehicle, and the cabin is roomy, with 40.6 inches of legroom in the front and 33.3 inches in the rear. Tech features are also upgraded, with a 6.1-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth^® connectivity, a USB port, and a six-speaker sound system.
