2001 Toyota Yaris SR review from UK and Ireland
"The driver in front with a smug look probably drives a Yaris"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Shows how good small cars can be these days. Characterful fun little car. 1.3 engine does not set the world alight but is adequate. Build and quality would not disgrace a much more expensive car.
Light and easy to drive but wide tyres of SR package lead to tramlining on UK roads. High speed stability a bit lacking but acceptable. Well equipped with effective air con, surprisingly punchy stereo and most electric bits. Well packaged with plenty of room for size.
One of those cars which can't help but put a smile on a drivers face. 40mpg, low depreciation and 3 year warranty add up to a great financial package.
Comfortable considering it's basically a supermini.
