Toyota Yaris 2011

The 2011 Toyota Yaris subcompact leverages light weight and modest power to achieve hybrid-like fuel economy. How does 29 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway sound? And that�s with automatic transmission and room for four adults. The 2011 Yaris is treated to some new colors and like all Toyotas � recalled or not � receives an electronic brake-override system. Prices for the 2011 Yaris start at a friendly $13,615. As the most desirable models tickle $16,000, however, you�ll need confidence in your priorities to resist the call of a larger car.
Should you buy a 2011 Toyota Yaris or wait for the 2012 Toyota Yaris?  If you�re on a strict budget and need a new small car today, the 2011 Yaris won�t disappoint. The 2012 Yaris isn�t apt to get any compelling new features, but if you can wait for it you�ll be better positioned to compare Toyota�s smallest car against some compelling new rivals. One is the Ford Fiesta, which actually debuted as a 2011 model. Fiesta is impressive but can get a little pricey, easily costing $2,000-$3,000 more than a roughly comparable Yaris. The real rival for your attention is certain to be the all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent. Accent is already the best-seller in the subcompact class and Hyundai hopes to pad to its lead with the redesigned 2012 version.
