subject: Be Energy Efficient With The Toyota Yaris [print this page] my wife and I had been shopping for several weeks for a more energy efficient vehicle before we decided to take a look at Toyotas. Toyotas hold their value very well, and we looked at several used Toyota models before investigating the Toyota Yaris. In the Yaris, we found a vehicle that met our needs for something fuel efficient and safe, and our teenager's need for a vehicle that has a sporty look and that comes in bright, 'cool' colours.
As a father, I am very pleased with the safety features on the Toyota Yaris. It has earned a safety rating of 5 for the driver, a safety rating of 4 for passengers, and standard on all models are front airbags, front/side airbags, and side curtain airbags. The 4-wheel ABS brakes and brake assistance feature make me feel more confident and less worried when my teenager is driving on wet, slick roads. We also took advantage of the optional Bluetooth Hands Free feature, a feature that isn't even offered on the higher priced, less fuel efficient Nissan Versa.
The 4-cylinder, 16 valve engine and 5 speed transmission provide the Yaris with a lot of pep. It looks sporty and feels sporty and handles curves quite nicely. In fact, on the test drive, we were all surprised at how quickly we reached the speed limit. You simply don't expect this type of power from a smaller, energy efficient vehicle, but the Toyota Yaris delivers.
Summer may be coming to an end, but it is not too late to take advantage of the great rates on leases and financing that are part of Toyota's Super Summer Event. You can get the most up-to-the-minute information by following Ancaster Toyota on Twitter (toyotaancaster) or by friending them on Facebook (Ancaster Toyota). You can also watch interesting videos, schedule a test drive, and check out the used car inventory on their website from the comfort of your own home.
