Toyota Yaris
✓High reliability even in extreme heat and heavy urban traffic
✓Relatively low maintenance costs compared to other vehicles in its class
✓Proven reliability and longevity — Toyota is known for high build quality, and this model is considered one of the most durable in its category
✓Exceptionally low fuel consumption (up to approximately 1:16 in the base petrol model) and low running costs
✗Comfort on long trips is limited due to the car's small size
✗Service and repair costs locally can be relatively expensive
✗Weak performance — the base petrol engine (1.0L) delivers low power (69 hp in the original Japanese model) and struggles on inclines
✗Basic interior material quality with a lack of premium finishes even in relatively newer models
