I was considering getting this car for a while, then saw this review and ultimately ended up getting one in August this year. Got a midnight blue type color too, looks sexy!
Every test review I have seen on this car gives it high marks.I spoke with a owner and he was super happy overall, price, gas mileage were a big factor. He said that he paid $15,500. with incentives.
I would NOT buy this car. In fact instead of purchasing this car I bought a 2017 Yoyota corolllla. If you want Toyotas reliability in a small sedan buy a Camy or Cotola
That seems like a lot. I can buy a Kia Soul with options for that. Or a base model left over last year Toyota Prius C for a grand more. $13,500 is the price I have heard from a few, which seems appropriate. I was offered $14,600 recently to buy an iA that I offered $13k for, but honestly I thought there was better choices for that kind of cash. Handles great, attractive dash, good crash test scores, but a bit slow. I have heard great fuel economy can be achieved if you are light on your foot on the highway.
djkenny Toyota holds its value better than kia. Many people get rid of their hybrids after or arond 110k miles. Because they feel if they break down the parts and repairs are expensive as hell.
I would buy a 10 grand Mirage before I bought a 16500 Prius C, but I know a lot of people with lots of miles on a C, over 200k and the same battery. Trouble is, the iA is actually a Mazda. Nothing "wrong" with Mazda, but they are NoToyota. Kia is rated VERY high in reliability and the Soul holds it's value very well. It was rated top of it's class for reliability and satisfaction by JD Power. I am certain a Soul will hold it's value way better than the iA. 15k for an economy car is still bigger bucks.
It's a good car. Just needs more yank for when passengers especially. Someone should slap Mazda 2.5 in there for the 184 HP n tq with some sporty tires and upgraded brakes!
When Toyota has the confidence to do a straight rebadge of a Mazda that says a lot for Mazda's design and quality. Doubt I'd buy it, but I would consider a Mazda CX5.
Hey I love you show” thanks for what you do. Just an FYI. Toyota created Scion to compete with pricing with Korean cars like Kia,Hyundai. It was more for younger adults. It did not work. So they brought those cars back to the a Toyota side. I think Toyota has this joint venture with Mazda because they are adhering to a previous contract deal with Mazda. In which they had to buy so many vehicles for so many years. Same thing happened with General Motors and Suzuki. Remember GEO. Thank you
Ivan Vojt Good for you. Hey if anything wrong happens in the future you'll know it was because you bought the bastard that is not a full pledge Toyota. If you want a true Toyota where only Toyota's name is on it buy a Camry or Corolla. Those two are true babies. Not a bastard child like the IA ☺
A W if you want boring cars, get a Toyota, fun cars and reliable, get a Mazda. All cars Mazda has made are reliable (except for rotary) and fun to drive.

Nissan Versa is much more roomier and 5k less but the interior looks like it came straight out of my 1995 Tercel. This Yaris feels so much more refined but is smaller... yikes! Decisions!
Why the heck would Toyota rebadge a Mazda 2?? Are they short on creating new designs? This is a slip for toyota and definitely not a gain no matter what. Way to go Mazda. You make the best driver's cars and one of the best designs.
These are about the same price as a Kia Soul left over from last year. Base model for both. This has a 1.5 liter and the Kia Soul a 1.6 with 138 hp. These seem to get good 8 mpg better. The Kia has much more space. The iA has the back up camera, all the safety equipment. The Yaris is more fun to fling around. The Kia and Yaris have equal great crash test scores. I am attracted to the Yaris for the premium name, MPGs, and sporty steering, as well as the infotainment system, and I need to seal with tight parking spaces in town. The Kia for it's long warranty, still gets excellent marks for reliability, has the space (we have 2 kids in car seats... 1 will soon be a booster). The Kia is actually a bigger car. Not sure? Any thoughts?
kia soul that gen had 10 mpg worse than yaris sedan. i would think you'd be better off getting a honda fit vs that gen kia soul. i got the yaris because of styling.
Toyota could just bring the Vios to the US. It's more spacious than the Yaris IA. But Toyota wouldn't because the size of the Vios might take away Corolla sales
Antonio Carrano yes. When I first saw this car on the streets after testdriving MULTIPLE mazdas, I first thought the owner slapped a Toyota badge on a 3 just for shits 'n giggles. Then I saw the ugly, boring front end...
We got a 2017 Toyota Yaris IA and rides like poop. I can hear every freaking bump. I think it's the vacuum pump or fuel injectors. Super loud! It only has 43K miles. 2 owners before me. I'm about to ship it back to Carvana. Noisy car!!!!

You must be biased because Toyota does make modern cars. All of them have good outer modern styling. Back up camera and display are a feature in ALL models. Unlike the lame other vehicle manufactures that don't have it in the lower models. Even though they squeeze you for many thousands and thousands of dollars.
S. D. H. America doesn't get the led headlights, rear disc brakes, hud, all the safety features, adaptive cruise control, better white/brown/black leather interior, paddle shifter, automatic a/c, 114 hp version because if they did then nobody will buy the yaris
Too bad you guys didn't get the Mazda 2. It is better in terms of styling and technology. But the engine is no different and ours has disc brakes standard.
david henriquez I own a Yaris IA and I get 40+ on highway road trips. In the city commuting I get 38. The best I ever got was 45 mpg from Las Vegas to the coast. 😁👍🏻
Why would I call that car is a REAL car? Shish. THAT IS A FAKE YARIS! Why would I complain? Because they don't have originality! Toyota didn't set their mind to originality. Older Yaris was better (not to mention that older Yaris is from Thai). The real Yaris SHOULD BE the REAL YARIS, not the FAKE one. That vid? Is a bullshit!
Im living without android auto or carplay not sure what the need is for blutooth works great
I own the 2012 Yaris, built in Japan in 2011. It has the same Mazda engine, but is a 5 speed manual. The engine has proven to be extremely reliable.
nope, all 2007-2012 yaris sedans are pure breed TOYOTA.
@@brg88tx The Toyota Yaris engine is supplied to Toyota by Mazda.
@@Man_Cave not in 2011 or 2012. Go look at your door sticker again.
@@brg88tx The car was assembled in Japan, but Toyota out sourced the engine.
@@Man_Cave 2012 yaris absolutely has a Toyota made 1.5L motor, model 1NZ-FE....one of the most reliable motors ever made by Toyota.

How could that only get 39 on the hwy where my '14 Fiesta w/ a 5 sp manual got 41-43 w/ synthetic oil and a bigger motor?
A toyazda ? Or mazyota ? Yaris
gabojm
Buy a camry or corolla
Keep away from this "hybrid manufacturer" conjoined twin gunk
Great Review Dave👌🏼

You have a Toyota again. I'm screaming! Yay
TJ HAMMERSLAND
This ain't a real Toyota. Buy a Camry or Corolla like I did.
Picking one up Saturday
Buy one used. These are reliable.

Can you replace the gas pedal? Idk why they had to make it look like a foot rest😩
Can you please do a review of 2017 Nissan Versa Sedan or a comparison of the said vehicles mentioned in the video. Thanks.
Reminds me of my wife's 2008 Mazda 3
Good for 6'3 tall drivers?
has anyone notice when u go over the speed limit an audio voice warning comes on.

I’m sad we didn’t get a “ONE! ONE! ONE! Oh blank handle”....
I actual did record that but ended up cutting it :-)
Is this reliable car? Considering it’s not a toyota engine and it’s a Mazda? Is it reliable as real toyota?
Yes, yes, and yes
@@edgaryzen4925 awesome thanks!
Toyota could just bring the Vios to the US. It's more spacious than the Yaris IA. But Toyota wouldn't because the size of the Vios might take away Corolla sales
Is it based on the european Mazda 2???!!!!
Antonio Carrano yes. When I first saw this car on the streets after testdriving MULTIPLE mazdas, I first thought the owner slapped a Toyota badge on a 3 just for shits 'n giggles. Then I saw the ugly, boring front end...
Schwenda LOL i prefer real toyota and real mazda, not those strange cars with 2 different parents :)
It’s nice looking car
Sandra Mccoy
You are very attractive yourself baby 😉

Does it come equipped with Sky Active? LOLOLOLOL. :P
Technically it does XD they just don't call it that.
This is the most modern Toyota I've seen... Too bad it's really Mazda😂
Jordon Chaney
That is why I did NOT purchase this car. Because it's not a real Toyota. Instead I purchased a 2017 Toyota Crolla 🤓

Unlike the lame other vehicle manufactures that don't have it in the lower models. Even though they squeeze you for many thousands and thousands of dollars.
AW: for Toyota to offer a re-badge Mazda2 as the Yaris should tell you how good Mazda is. I think it is your loss for not trying trying it out.
I like Toyota. mazda makes a nice reliable car AND mazda manuals are awesome.
S. D. H. America doesn't get the led headlights, rear disc brakes, hud, all the safety features, adaptive cruise control, better white/brown/black leather interior, paddle shifter, automatic a/c, 114 hp version because if they did then nobody will buy the yaris
Looks like Mazda 2
Too bad you guys didn't get the Mazda 2. It is better in terms of styling and technology. But the engine is no different and ours has disc brakes standard.
Your welcome toyota
Hope this don’t drive like the Hyundai Accent it’s very road intrusive
wow careful with that speed.
?
julius caezar perez
The driver is laughing all the way to the bank. Can you say cha-ching😃
Toyota didn't copy it. Mazda put a Toyota badge on it.
what's the real gas mileage on this car
david henriquez I own a Yaris IA and I get 40+ on highway road trips. In the city commuting I get 38. The best I ever got was 45 mpg from Las Vegas to the coast. 😁👍🏻
It is Mazda 3 (2 edited !) this is Bankruptcy of Toyota
it's a rebranded Mazda 2, not 3
What is bad about it? Toyota can learn a lot from Mazda and vise versa
GX L And you’re an idiot
The Toyota Yaris is essentially a rebadged Mazda 3.
Toyota and grills lol
2 pedals?
Eeeeww!!!
Get away from me ! 😰😰
That is a fake Yaris.
EXACTLY.....3 pedals or forget it.
Looks like a cheaply made car
Have you seen one in person?
Everyman Driver . Yes I have. Two at my local car lot. Even my wife didn’t care for it and she likes small cars
I was gonna get one but the AC wasn’t working lol
Man it’s just...ugly. You can see Mazda all over this car. It’s the type of car that’ll do the job but I could never drive this thing.
Why would I call that car is a REAL car? Shish. THAT IS A FAKE YARIS! Why would I complain? Because they don't have originality! Toyota didn't set their mind to originality.

Imagine actually believing in this opinion this much.
