2010 toyota yaris review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. But, the yaris is better than just good. It boasts handsome looks, pleasant road manners, perky performance, and a well-tailored interior. It gets the full complement of air bags all around. The 2010 yaris comes with vehicle stability control (vsc) and traction control (trac), in addition to its already-standard anti-lock brakes (abs) with electronic brake-force distribution (ebd) and brake assist. for 2010, there have been some minor changes. A rear-window defroster is now standard. And remote keyless entry, an engine immobilizer, and 15-inch alloy wheels are now available. Yaris was launched as a 2007; the five-door liftback joined the lineup for 2009. all yaris models combine an inexpensive sticker price, outstanding fuel mileage and the solid integrity that underlies every toyota. While some hybrid-powered vehicles offer superior fuel economy, they're significantly more expensive than the yaris, so it would require many, many miles at very high fuel prices to balance that equation. It's an outstanding value. we've found the yaris practical and enjoyable to drive. The cabin is roomy, the seats are comfortable and the interior fabrics are quite nice, relative to the price point. Standard tires are p175/65r14 on steel rims. The radio antenna is roof-mounted on the liftback and is placed in the rear window glass of the sedan. The liftback's rear seat folds down while the sedan's rear seat is fixed. option packages include the convenience package 840-$960), which adds an am/fm/cd/mp3/wma radio with auxiliary input jack, satellite radio capability, and cd text display, plus p185/60r15 tires on 15-inch steel wheels. Sedans upgrade to a 60/40 fold-down rear seat while liftbacks get a 60/40 slide/recline/fold-flat rear seat and a rear window wiper. The power package 1,525-$1,780) combines the content of the convenience package with power windows, locks and mirrors; remote keyless entry; and on the sedan only an lcd display for the radio and upgraded interior trim. the sport package 2,665-$2,845) includes all power package content and adds sport seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, an ipod interface, fog lights, and a full complement of exterior spoilers, sill extensions and air dams. New 15-inch alloy wheels 390) can be added to either the sport package or the power package. options include cruise control 250), fog lights 110), and a weatherguard package 70) consisting of a larger windshield washer tank plus heavy-duty heater and starter. Standard passive safety equipment includes dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear side-curtain airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, plus three-point seatbelts and head restraints for all five seating positions. The yaris models were designed around themes of simplicity, design elegance that avoids unnecessary decoration. It's interesting to note that the sedan and three-door liftback were penned by different designers. The three body styles each have their own identities. the three-door liftback was designed around the theme of powerful simplicity. It has character, with its wedgy profile, large front halogen headlamp clusters, creased hood lines and t-grille. Almost every exterior element is body-colored, but it avoids looking like a featureless blob due to strategic placement of black trim around the base of the a-pillar, on the b-pillar, on the two strips that run the length of the roof, the front grilles and foglamp surrounds, and at the base of the windshield. We think it's cute. it's also practical. The liftback's rear hatch opens down to the bumper line and raises just high enough to allow a six-foot-tall person to stand under it. Like everything else about the yaris, the hatch's function feels just right. Opening of the hatch is well damped by two struts, and closing it takes no more than a gentle downward push. the sedan is significantly longer than the liftback, by 3. 5 inches in wheelbase and nearly 19 inches overall. Its long, stretched cabin, arched beltline and short overhangs give it sporty proportions, and the multi-reflector halogen headlights (shared with the liftback) lend it a premium look. despite their distinctive styling, both the sedan and liftback share a 0. 29 coefficient of drag, an excellent number that helps quiet the ride and increase fuel economy at cruising speeds. standard running gear includes p175/65r14 radial tires on 14-inch steel wheels. The brakes are front ventilated discs and rear drums. The suspension is independent in front, with a semi-independent torsion beam in the rear. All major option packages upgrade to p185/60r15 tires on 15-inch steel wheels. interiorthe yaris is a marvel of space efficiency with clever cockpit packaging. Its relatively long wheelbase makes the yaris cockpit feel quite spacious, especially in the liftback with its tall, extended roofline. Legroom isn't quite as generous as headroom, though six-footers can occupy every seat except the center rear without complaint. the standard fabric upholstery is classy looking, durable and provides good grip in the corners. The front seats have supportive, deeply dished backs; but the bottom cushions are flat and short, so long-legged drivers may not enjoy optimum comfort and lower-body support. The seating position is nicely upright and allows excellent forward sightlines, but it feels awkward relative to the steering wheel. The wheel adjusts for rake but not for reach, so it's necessary to pull the seat fairly far forward to assume the proper 10 and 2 o'clock hand placement, and this results in a position that's more like sitting in a chair at the dining table, legs bent at 90 degrees, than the other extreme, laying down in a sports racing car. The sedan's front seats do feature a height adjustment, which helps the driver find a more comfortable position. And the sedan's longer wheelbase provides about another two inches of legroom front and rear. access to the liftback's rear seat is provided by a walk-in lever in the shoulder area of the front passenger seat. There is no such lever on the driver's side. A 60/40 split seat with 5. 9 inches of fore and aft adjustability is also available, greatly increasing the liftback's comfort and practicality. Levers on the shoulders of the seatbacks make the operation a snap. The sedan's rear seating can also be ordered in a 60/40 split configuration, but there is no recline feature. cargo space in the liftback with the seats upright is 9. 5 cubic feet, or 25. 7 cubic feet with the seats folded down. The sedan's cargo volume is 12. 9 cubic feet with the standard rear seat and 13. 7 behind the 60/40 folding seats. Folding the sedan's seats adds volume. The wide rear openings, which extend down to bumper level, make the task of loading and unloading the yaris easier. just as the two yaris models differ in exterior styling, the instrument panels for the liftback and sedan are distinctive. Each features a center-mounted gauge cluster and an overall simplicity of design. The sedan's dash looks a bit more upscale with its broad splash of bright trim on the center stack and multi-color optitron illuminated gauge cluster, which includes a 120-mph speedometer and 8000-rpm tachometer, plus an lcd fuel gauge and odometer/trip meter and various warning graphics. the liftback's center stack is more modest in design, with less bright trim; and a simplified instrument c.
