well maybe the Toyota Yaris does not equal with the PorscheBoxster, but this comparison reflects my high opinion of the Car. I have recently purchased a 1.3 2000 Yaris, 3 door, and the excitement of going for that drive with no destination we all experience when purchasing a new car, has still not worn off. The 0-60 of under 10.5 seconds for a supermini gives it a feel of raw power and space age technology, partly due to the holographic display on the dashboard. When using the 1.3 engine you may feel that with quick acceleration, there will also be quick petrol consumption. However, the Yaris boasts a 50mpg petrol consumption, averaging under 30p a mile. Usually when you aquire more than one other person in a smaller vehicle, the drive becomes less exciting and more slugish, but not with the Yaris. Apart from the cars performance not relaxing with the addition of extra weight, the ergonomic design will keep any passenger fascinated for at least part of your journey. The Yaris is certainly a car for today's modern driver, and will be a pioneer in years to come.

Advantages: Easy driving, low fuel consumption, doddle to park Disadvantages: At a £1000 extra I thought the auto transmission a bit expensive but it has proved to be worth it
