Yaris

The Toyota Yaris boasts a variety of body styles and a solid track record for reliability.

The Toyota Yaris travels down the road with a reasonably solid feel. Come to this Laconia Toyota Dealership to test drive the Yaris today.The electric power steering and its super-light touch makes maneuvering easy. The Yaris’ small four-cylinder engine is surprisingly peppy with the manual transmission and reasonably smooth even when operating at higher speeds. Off-the-line acceleration suffers with the automatic transmission, but both combinations deliver enough midrange power for confident merging and passing on the highway.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

S-trim equipment levels vary between hatchbacks and sedans but share 15-inch steel wheels, a ground-effects body kit and a CD/MP3 stereo with an auxiliary audio jack.

Powertrains and Performance

All Toyota Yaris models on this Laconia Toyota Dealer lot are equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 106 horsepower and 103lb ft. of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels through a standard five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transmission. The Yaris accelerates adequately with the manual gearbox, but off-the-line performance is a little sluggish with the automatic.

Fuel economy is a very strong point for the Yaris. EPA estimates for a Yaris with the manual transmission check in at 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined.

Safety

On every Yaris at this Laconia Toyota dealership, standard safety features include antilock brakes and side curtain airbags. In government crash testing, the 2009 Toyota Yaris sedan earned four stars out of five for front occupant protection during frontal impacts. The two-door hatchback model outperformed the sedan in frontal impact testing by scoring a perfect five stars for driver protection.

Interior Design and Special Features

As you might expect, the sedan is the more conservatively styled of the two, both inside and out. The hatchbacks offer optional sliding and reclining rear seats that add versatility and help compensate for their more restrictive backseat space.

Though all versions feature centrally located instrumentation, the hatchbacks’ dashboard is quite a bit different from the one found in the sedan and contains three gloveboxes — including one uniquely positioned behind the steering wheel plus an unusually narrow center stack that coordinates well with their more playful exterior design.
