Toyota Yaris (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 84.75%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 61st

Although finishing positions of 89th in the performance chart and 92nd in the ride classification may give Toyota’s engineers some cause for concern, sixth spot for reliability and seventh for running costs are impressive scores.

They reinforce the Yaris’s reputation for being one of the toughest and cheapest to run superminis on the market.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 6th
Build Quality: 52nd
Running Costs: 7th
Performance: 89th
Braking: 85th
Ride Quality: 92nd
Handling: 81st
Practicality: 55th
Comfort: 92nd
Ease of Driving: 33rd

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 13th)

Last year, Toyota was in seventh, but a poor debut for the Auris sees it plummet. While 13th is still above average, bosses will want a positive reaction to the new Avensis, iQ and Urban Cruiser in 2010.
