2008 Toyota Yaris

2008 Toyota Yaris Overview

Introduction

The Toyota Yaris manages to combine a well-tailored, roomy interior with agile performance and a fuel efficient engine in an entry-level car.

The front-wheel drive Yaris is available as a three-door hatchback or a four-door sedan and both offer a base and an S trim. The Yaris is powered by a 106 horsepower 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission with an optional four-speed automatic. The hatchback and sedan were designed separately and have subtle interior and exterior differences but have similar standard content. The base trim comes standard with P175/65R14 tires on steel wheels, cloth bucket seats, manual tilting steering wheel. The S trim adds P185/60R15 tires and an AM/FM stereo radio with a single CD player. Optional equipment includes: anti-lock brakes, alloy wheels, cruise control and power mirrors, windows and door locks with or without remote keyless entry.

For 2008, all Yaris models have a standard tire pressure monitoring system.
