This iteration of the Yaris remained Spartan in an age of increasingly better and more refined subcompacts. On the plus side, fuel economy is excellent. The reworked interior moved the speedometer from the center of the dash to the preferred, traditional position beyond the steering wheel. But the Yaris is noisy, its ride is choppy, its interior looks cheap and its driving position and front seats are uncomfortable. Handling lacks agility and acceleration is slow.
