2008 toyota yaris Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Remote keyless entry, foglamps and a rear spoiler are also offered as stand-alone factory options on all models. A full range of Toyota accessories are available to further personalize the Yaris. Powertrains and Performance: All Toyota Yaris models are equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels through a standard five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transmission.

2008 Toyota Yaris Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Measuring 150.6 inches long overall, the Yaris is more than 3 feet shorter than the Toyota Camry. However, at 60 inches in overall height, it's about an inch taller. The front suspension uses MacPherson struts, while a torsion beam setup is installed in back.

The cupholders and storage provisions are all quirky yet functional. Included in my test vehicle's optional Power Package is a handy auxiliary audio input for MP3 players and the like.

2008 Toyota Yaris Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Also, a pretty decent audio system with a CD player and auxiliary input jack helps distract from the teeny-ness of the Yaris. The seats are sporty and easily adjustable. In back, the Latch connectors aren't too hard to access. However, since my kids are out of child-safety seats, the seats weren't exactly fab-o. My 8-year-old had a hard time getting the seat belt to fit correctly, and the retractable headrests forced his head forward unless he pushed it up to its highest position. My little guy, in his booster seat, did much better, as I would imagine the smaller clowns do in their car. It's... |
