Toyota Yaris
The Yaris hatchback is offering something new this year with an all-new body and interior. The sedan, however, stays the same as last year. Under the hood is a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 106 hp and 103 lbs.-ft. of torque. It can be equipped with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an optional 4-speed automatic. The Yaris is one of the most reliable sub-compact car on the market.
