The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
The Yaris comes only in hatchback form for 2014. The overhaul done in 2012 gave the car a more angular style, which is Toyota’s signature sign of revival. While they were at it, the designers also decided to reorient the instrumentation in front of the driver and install a single windshield wiper. The Yaris’ engine is a 106-hp four-cylinder paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
