Great car i just bought a 2014 model but im a bad luck guy the second day hybrid battery failed and now wait to seeing what the dealership do to fix it.
Nice review ! I have a 2017 basic one, hybrid with 15" wheels... It doesn't have the parking sensors but has the rear camera and for me it's enough. Also the headlights, mine don't have the led daylight signature, it has a little normal bulb, but hey, it's ok... I've heard there are people with led headlights failing after 3 years.... Mine has a overall consumption of 3,7 L/100 km which is awesome... I was a bit shocked when I saw yours 😀 The B mode is good for (and you should use it) going downhill, it helps breaking with the engine and not to wear too much your break pads... You can also use it when exiting the highway for example, In that moment you need to go a bit slower, the just engage D mode back again. Best way to do good consumption while city driving is to not let the hybrid battery to it's minimum charge, because when that happens, the gasoline engine will start to recharge the hybrid battery, thus giving you less power when you accelerate. Also, you can activate EV mode (while going under 60 km/h generally) by lifting a bit your foot from the gas pedal, and if the battery has at least 3 "stripes", EV mode will kick in,... And will stay on EV mode while you're on the 1st ECO zone. Even while you're not on EV mode, 1st ECO zone is the way you should use for better consumption. For best L/km , accelerate with gasoline engine until you reach desired speed, then lift gas pedal and EV mode will maintain speed, while on 1st ECO zone When battery has only 2 "stripes", the minimum charge, the gasoline engine will kick in...even if the car is stopped but is still turned on. Don't turn off the car, let it charge the hybrid battery and then you could turn it off. Toyota does it that way so that the battery will keep a minimum of electric charge. Also, And very important, there is a filter on the fan of the hybrid Battery under the back seat, Same side as the driver (left) ... If you check there's a small air ventilation on the side to the door. The plastic panel that covers it can be removed so it can be cleaned (the fan filter). If the filter gets clogged, no air will flow inside to cool down the hybrid battery.... So that will make the battery fail sooner. There are some videos on UA-cam that show how to do it, it's very simple. 👍 Nice video.
Thank you very much to you for the detailed written feedback. Greatly appreciated for all HSD owners :). Indeed, what you say is all true and thanks for sharing that.🤗
Very good review thank you. The button you refer to turns off the front sensors, press again to turn them back on. What does the word READY mean under the EV icon please?
What many don’t understand about the Yaris is it’s not meant to be luxurious or super comfortable. What you’re paying for is a dependable and economical to run and maintain small car that will take you from A-B without drama or conflict as long as you actually use your brain. Just imagine how expensive it would be if Toyota spent Mercedes levels of money on the interior on top of the already great drivetrain. VW makes more luxurious small cars but don’t forget they also tend to break down or get random electrical failures. Toyotas aren’t perfect but I’ve never seen one stuck at the side of the road or with huge problems in the shop unless it’s been abused so badly it’s the driver’s fault more than anything
Indeed :). I still have a preference for the older generations and the latest one. After having it for years it is not (for me) the greatest generation. In terms of reliability, I agree with you, although we have a strange mechanical noise in the front and the garage does not know where it come from (truthfully I m not sure they looked very well).
@@funcarreviews Prefering a certain generation over another is completely fine. We all have different tastes, right now I'm the owner of a gen 1 1.0 VVTi 5 speed manual Yaris from 2002
@@funcarreviews I love mine as well, sorry to hear about the accident. Only issues for me are the seats being too unsupportive and hard as well as the steering wheel being too far away
nice review, usefull stuff.. i'm thinking about getting the 4th gen, do you have any issues with the start/stop button? i'm a little concerned about all these electronics to be honest.. thanks.
I am not really sure which one to take. Honda Jazz Hybrid 4th gen or Toyota Yaris Hybrid. I want save fuel and I also ride in city 80% of time. Jazz and Yaris cost basically same when used in my country.
Hi am bout to buy a used hybrid i dont have a big budget so what im either go for a 2010-13 Auris 1.8 HSD Yaris 2014 1.5 HSD I like the Auris more for its more comfortable seats but dont know if its worth it for me.
Hello, Well auris is higher class and a bit more comfortable than this Yaris generation. Price, size, comfort and budget are different. It really depends what you are looking for and your usual drives. Yaris are less comfortable on highways than Auris for example. But both are reliable.
Very good review! Everything one would want to know, but please try to make the reviews shorter, I think few people sit through a nearly 45 minute video. Best of luck with this channel!
Trap Extravaganza thank you very much for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes you are right. I wanted to make the video shorter, less than 20 Minutes, but there was way too much to say for consumer to be aware of (almost) everything. Other reviews are also good but may not be as detailed. Thank you.

Oh that is really unfortunate. I hope they ll be able to do it in a great way for you.
You had some error messages ?

Hello and thank you. 😀. It means that the car is ON (ready to drive in this case)
Thank you for your swift reply.
Great video! Just bought a 2018 one.
Thank ☺️. And congrats on your buy. :)

Indeed. First gen and also second gen had those kind of seats. I agree.

Hello and thank you :)
I have the start and stop button on multiple Yaris since 2006 (Gen 2), still running great 🤗. No concerns for that on my side.
I am not really sure which one to take. Honda Jazz Hybrid 4th gen or Toyota Yaris Hybrid. I want save fuel and I also ride in city 80% of time. Jazz and Yaris cost basically same when used in my country.
Well it s more a matter of taste :)
You should go try them and compare e them also comfort wise.
My heart always goes for the Yaris 😂
Hi am bout to buy a used hybrid
i dont have a big budget so what im either go for a
2010-13 Auris 1.8 HSD

@@funcarreviews I sat through all of it. Thank you very much.
@@Josiuh thanks to you 😊
Great video. Just a detail, if it is electric then it is not an engine but a motor. You don't say electrical engine. :)
Thanks. Ahah thank you for the correction 😂
U know
That antenna is terrible, 🦈 is much nicer.
Simon - aha true. But it got replaced by a shark one in the new generation. I didn’t mention it though.
Really very cheap made interior.
Well it is a low end car of Toyota but very reliable as usual. New one is better for me though.🤗
