Toyota Yaris

by IRWIN ROSE

The 2008 Toyota Yaris brings a high level of refinement, sophistication and a fun-to-drive experience to the subcompact segment. The most affordable passenger car in the Toyota model line-up, Yaris is available in four-door Sedan and three-door Liftback models. Yaris combines contemporary exterior styling and an upscale interior with truly impressive fuel efficiency and overall low cost of ownership. Its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and produces 106 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 103 lb ft of torque at 4,200 RPM. Both models come with a standard five-speed manual transmission and offer an available four-speed automatic transmission.

Yaris helps protect its occupants with a reinforced cabin that integrates front and rear crumple zones and energy-absorbing materials on the roof and doors. It is equipped with height-adjustable headrests and three-point seatbelts in all five seating positions and the front seatbelts integrate pretensioners and force limiters. Other safety features include standard driver and passenger advanced dual-stage front airbags (SRS), a front seat passenger sensor, anti-lock brake system (ABS), Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and more.
