Hi to all I thought of buying a brand new car the Toyota Yaris not sure if this is the car for me but these are the attributes I have for the new car
I basically just want a car that does ITS JOB
Most economic car for the bang of my buck ( gas insurance monthly payments and repairs all reduce to the bare minimum.)
Looks at least a bit decent
It does not have to go fast
I considered a used one last year. They have a dedicated following among those who are into them, check out this site Toyota Yaris Forums, Photos, Videos, News, and Discussion - YarisWorld. Reliability is very good. But they get little or no better MPG than the Corolla - I get 36-37 in my 11 Corolla - and price is almost the same used. Yaris has more roiad noise and is not as comfortable. The 4 door sedan was discontinued after 2012. Many of the used ones I found were ex-rentals. Up to 2011 or 12 they had center instruments, I don't think I could adjust to this.
According to Edmunds, due to insurance, long term, the Corolla actually costs less. I have the 2015 Corolla LE Plus, I love it. Comes with a rearview camera. I feel a lot more confident in reversing out of narrow areas lol, so I don't have to worry about scraping other cars. I would suck it up and spend a little more per month for the better looking and more functional Corolla.

What are your pros and cons of the Toyota Yaris?
Can't save enough to justify it. For 3K more, or less, you can have a Corolla. It's an exponentially better car in all ways UNLESS you are tall. The seating has the size of a 99 Camry. It's a fully competent car, overtly reliable and is the number one car sold in the WORLD.
Said another way, if one were to take a picture of exactly what you said you wanted, it would come out as a Corolla. It is THE epitome of reliable, no BS sedan with everything you need and absolutely nothing that you don't. Couple that with the fact that 0% financing is usually available from Toyota for up to 5 years....that, or the rebates may be better.
The eco model gets 41mpg on the highway. Not bad. It is not THE class leader in mpg for it's size but, it IS the class leader in reliability, resale, and overall competence. The new ones (2014 and above) look nice too. It's a whole new Corolla since 2014.
As much as I love Toyota, the Yaris just isn't worth it. Pay the extra $40 per month and get a car you will be proud to own and one that will more than do it's job. For years.

The Yaris is an okay subcompact, but there are others out there that perform better. Honda Fit is generally the favorite, and I'm reading a lot of great things about newer Ford Fiestas. I would try one of those out before the Yaris.
In this area with incentives the Corollas are actually cheaper to purchase than the Yaris.
