  1. Dear friends, I have been researching on the fuel consumption of Yaris for a while. After reading countless owner feedbacks and my personel experience, I have come to understand that Yaris is not a good choice if you are planning to use it to go to work in the morning and come back home in the evening. it is quite sensitive to cold starts. If you are driving in such manner, you will be better off by buying a second hand car (big or small) at a reasonable kms. this way, you can keep half of your money in your pocket, and there will be no difference in your fuel expenses as well. if you are doing delivery all day long by driving around in the city, or driving long distances unstoppingly on regular basis, this is the car for you. only a few cars can beat Yaris if the engine is always warm. hope this will be useful for people planning to buy a suitable new car. kind regards.
  2. The last sentence "furthermore, its not only the fuel consumption that should steer u away from buying a toyota next time."
  3. dude, you have to remember that those figres given to you from the dealers are for a combination of city and highway driving. for the zze corolla sportivo with 2zz-ge engine, the figures say mixed driving is 8.5L/100kms. but when i drive on the freeway only its possible for me to get 6L/100kms and if its in the city, the most fuel it ever comsumed was closer to 9.0L/100kms. yaris is a very good car for its class. while its not the best, its definately more affordable with what you get. furthermore, its not only the fuel consumption that should steer u away from buying a toyota next time. dude, can you elaborate your last sentence and be more specific?
  4. I think you will find a similar story from any car manufacturer. You need to understand that those figures are given in optimum conditions and that MANY factors can contribute to poor fuel economy. I can tell you now, I have no intentions to sell the yaris, and when driven gently it will do better than 400km on a city cycle... and my car has over 130,000kms on it now. I am well avare of thet the advertised mileages are achieved under controlled conditions. My concern was Why my car's mileage is consistently below 400 km/tank. I do drive gently and had much better mileages on much older cars. thus it is not me.
  5. This has happened! Just recently I brought my Yaris 2010 1.5L hatch to 20000 km service and repeated my concerns about its high fuel consumption (I bought it from illawarra Toyota). The answer was shocking really! I was told by the tech service manager himself that, on unleaded petrol all you can get is about 400 km on one tank in the city, and this mileage gets even less if you drive to and from a short distance everyday in the morning and evening.he told me that all his family and friends had Yaris(es) and their mileages were similar to mine. I was even handed a booklet about why I should not expect the mileages as advertised! the most interesting part of our conversation was that he claimed most of the yaris owners report higher mileages than they could possibly get from their car because they don't want to give their car a bad name and to prevent excessive value loss when they attempt to sell it. how good is that? whether he was right or wrong,I really feel ripped off and lost my trust in Toyota. My next car will not be a Toyota, that is all I can say.
  6. now I believe there's nothing wrong with my driving. check this test results. http://www.caradvice.com.au/36908/toyota-yaris-review-road-test/ their figure is 9.1 L/100km on a yaris 2010 auto.
  7. then, there is obviously a problem with my yaris. I try to drive it as smoothly as possible and I get a mileage of 330-350 km/tank consistently. With my previous car (echo 2000- auto-1.3 L) I used to get around 550 km per tank with that 10 year old car, and its tank was about 38 Lt. I arranged a check up at the toyota service. however, one of my friends have a yaris too, and he too has the same problem as I do. you guys must be the lucky ones to have such high mileages on petrol.
  8. your car's fuel consumption is about 11.90 lt/100 km, and that is still much higher than the advertised fuel consumption, (6.0 lt/100 km for manual and 6.5 lt/100 km. for auto). myconcern was that, they are misleading people to buy this car. it is still better than most of other models but it is not that good. I find this dishonest. besides, I haven't heard of anyone who could go 700 km on one tank. If there is such a person, I really congratulate him for his achievement. Next fill up I will do some fuel consumption figures for you. I really appreciate that. I really want to see the real figures.

  10. Hi everyone, I have a Yaris YRS 2010,Auto. I was planning to spend less on petrol when I bought it, but apparently after driving the car for about 10 months, I came to understand that the advertised fuel consumption figures are just exageration. all you can go is 350 km in the city and just a little bit over 400 km on the highway. If you make a complaint to the service, they will give you a list of what wrong you are doing, but never they accept that 700 km on one tank figure is just a mith! I used to have a echo-2000, and it was much more economical on petrol than yaris. other than fuel consumption, the car is great. but, people buy this car generally for its advertised fuel economy.
