Where does driver comfort rank in the grand scheme of the automotive experience? Pretty high, we think, even if you’re spending less than $20,000 on what would otherwise be considered A-to-B transportation. And so we’re perplexed that Toyota seemingly overlooked the seating position in its new Yaris.
Even though the sporty Yaris SE tested here includes an adjustable-height driver’s seat, you’re always sitting fairly high and hunched over. Unlike most other cars in this class, there’s no telescoping function for the steering column, so you must slide forward and have your knees bent at an uncomfortable angle (good thing there’s a driver’s knee airbag) or slide back and reeeeeach for the wheel. Neither option bodes well for long-distance comfort. If the tiller offered fore and aft motion, comfort would run at the top of the class, rivaling that of Chevy’s new Sonic.
At least the majority of the car seems thoroughly vetted. Unlike the dull cabins found in competitors like the Nissan Versa or the 10Best-winning Honda Fit, the Yaris’s clubroom appears to have actually been designed. The materials are much improved over the previous-generation car’s, the three-knob HVAC controls are a simple solution, and the dash gets “rice paper” graining.
Toyota is thought of as one of the most complete automakers worldwide. Their run of success is a testament to not only the efficiency and performance of the vehicles themselves, but also to the stylish presence they all seem to hold. It is well-known that this is one brand where drivers get a huge say in how their rides look. Toyota Spoilers always seem to be at the top of the list for this very reason.
