The ultimate marriage of cuteness and efficiency, the 2008 Toyota Yaris offers amazing interior space and renowned Toyota quality as the least expensive car in the manufacturer’s lineup.

Available as a three-door liftback or four-door sedan, the Yaris comes in base or new ‘S’ trim, which adds front and rear spoilers, amber-colored instrument gauges, a tachometer, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, upgraded seat fabric, and ‘S’ badging. All models are powered by a peppy and efficient 1.5 liter 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing making 106 horsepower and achieving estimated fuel economy ratings of 29/36 city/highway MPG with the easy-shifting 5-speed manual transmission. For drivers with long commutes or a lot of stop-and-go driving, the optional 4-speed automatic transmission is a great choice.

New for 2008 is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that automatically alerts the driver to any significant drops in pressure with a warning symbol on the instrument panel. Other safety features include optional 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution to prevent wheel lockup under hard braking and increase stopping power. Standard dual front airbags, combined with optional front-seat mounted side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags, offer superior protection for all passengers in a collision. Available integrated fog lamps not only look cool, they greatly enhance nighttime visibility and illumination.

Interior amenities include an available integrated CD player with MP3/WMA playback, auxiliary audio jack for your iPod®, and LCD display screen for an immersive digital audio experience. Both models have available power windows, door locks, and remote keyless entry to make life with the Yaris more convenient. An available 60/40 split folding rear seat opens up the cargo space dramatically to accommodate a variety of personal items.

The adorable 2008 Toyota Yaris is the perfect antidote to rising gas prices and the influx of boring subcompacts that permeate the market.
