2001 Toyota Yaris 1.0 GS review from UK and Ireland
"The JD Power Survey got it right - an excellent package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing - car has been 100% reliable.
General comments?
The car was bought as a city runabout, but due to a job change found itself doing 120 miles a day on the motorway.
Despite having only a 1.0 litre engine the motorway performance is adequate without being scintilating, it's comfortable, safe and well equipped for the price.
It also does 55-56 miles per gallon on the motorway, is cheap to insure and has surprisingly low servicing costs to date. Add in exemplarary dealer service and it's an excellent package. Having traded in a VW Lupo which was nothing but trouble from new with a dealer and manufacturer who didn't care about customer service the Yaris has been a revelation -and can be thoroughly recommended.
