Toyota Yaris vs. Pontiac G3 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Pontiac G3 to the dealership as the Toyota Yaris. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Toyota Yaris and the Toyota Yaris perform almost similarly with respect to gas mileage. There isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Toyota Yaris is somewhat more economical than the Pontiac. The Pontiac G3 is significantly pricier than the Yaris with respect to MSRP.

Utility
The Toyota Yaris and the Pontiac G3 can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You most certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota than with the Pontiac G3, because both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Yaris offers a bit more head room than the Pontiac G3, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Pontiac G3 offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Toyota Yaris, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Toyota's tank is roughly the same size as the G3's, though the G3's is a tad larger. The Toyota and the Pontiac compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Toyota Yaris and the Pontiac G3 definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Pontiac's engine isn't much more sizeable than the Toyota Yaris's. The Toyota Yaris has no lessons to learn as far as torque from the Pontiac G3.

Warranty
The Pontiac G3 and the Toyota Yaris have the same basic warranty.
