Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent exterior and interior look. Thank you Toyota.
• Included DVR, BSM, RCTA, 3 driving modes.
• Infotainment unit is good.
• NVH is good.
• Good boot space for normal groceries shopping.
• Spare tire is standard with the original rim.

Cons

• Steering wheel is a bit stiff.
• Body paint easily chips off by stone.

Summary

This is my first hatchback with a beautiful front and back section. My wife's old Nissan Sunny is always breaking down, so I need to provide her with a good, reliable, durable and comfortable small car. Already one year old, no regret buying Yaris even though Yaris price tag is almost equivalent to Perodua Aruz, X50, Honda Jazz and City.
