My husband drives the Yaris mostly, but we love it. It drives well and he gets nearly 40 mpg if he drives near to the speed limit. If he is driving like a racecar driver, flooring it, cutting in and out of traffic...he gets about 35-38 mpg.

It is an awesome car. We got the basic model, two door. The interior is great...no complaints on that.

I love the fact that the backseat has a shoulder belt in all three spots! We have three small kids so this is awesome.

We had a Ford Taurus and now we are spending 50% less per month on gas. This amounts to nearly $150 a month in savings!

My husband works 45 miles from home...and you can't beat this car!

I honestly believe that our country is slowly switching to smaller cars, cars with less mpg....be it a hybrid, electric or just a small car.

I've been waiting for my husband to answer this one for you...I'll get him to reply more this weekend, but honestly...we have NO complaints about it! Awesome gas milage. It drives really nice. I have a Hyundai and there is a bunch of road noise...I don't think so with the Yaris. It's comfortable. I just don't think you can beat it. The only way you can beat the gas milage is to buy a hybrid.
