Lineup
Toyota Yaris is available in base or S trim, each as a three-door hatchback or a four-door sedan. All Yaris models are powered through the front wheels by a 1.5-liter engine with an output of 106 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard while a four-speed automatic is optional for the liftback ($900) and sedan ($725).

Yaris liftback ($11,350) and sedan ($12,225) come with air conditioning, power steering, tilt steering wheel, intermittent wipers, rear center headrest, driver and passenger vanity mirrors, front and rear cupholders, digital clock, UV glass and a map light. The Yaris is pre-wired for a radio but does not come with one. The liftback's front seats are adjustable four ways, while the sedan's are adjustable six ways. The radio antenna is roof-mounted on the liftback and is placed in the rear window glass of the sedan. The liftback's rear seat folds down while the sedan's rear seat is fixed.

Yaris liftback S ($13,025) adds an amber-illuminated tachometer, AM/FM/CD audio with MP3/WMA and universal mini-jack, sport seat fabric, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, rear window wiper and defroster, color-keyed front and rear under-bumper spoilers, special badging, and P185/60 tires on 15-inch steel wheels with full covers. The Yaris sedan S ($13,725) is similarly equipped, but skips the leather wrappings for a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat.

A Convenience Package for liftback ($630) and sedan ($750) models adds the radio, 15-inch wheels and tires, rear defroster, and 60/40 split/fold-down rear seats for the sedan and a rear wiper for the liftback. The Power Package for the base models ($1,785) includes the Convenience Package plus power door locks, windows, and mirrors. On the liftback, it also adds a 60/40 split rear seat that slides, reclines, and folds completely flat; on the sedan, it adds cruise control, upgraded trim, LCD audio display, and ABS brakes with Electronic Brake-force distribution. The similar package is available for S models. Power windows ($375) or locks ($275) are options on base sedans. Other options: 15-inch alloy wheels ($390), fog lights ($110), rear spoiler for the liftback ($2000) or sedan ($435), remote keyless entry ($230).

Safety features that come standard include dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, plus three-point seatbelts and head restraints for all five seating positions. Also available ($650) are front seat-mounted side-impact airbags for torso protection and side curtain airbags for head protection for front and rear passengers. We highly recommend these extra safety features, especially in such a small and lightweight car. Always wear seat belts as they are your first line of defense in a crash. ABS/EBD brakes are optional ($300); we strongly recommend getting them.
