2017 TOYOTA YARIS IA – A WORTHY SUCCESSOR TO THE LATE SCION IA

The Scion brand was introduced a while ago as a car maker for the younger generation. One of the latest models is that it is, a small sedan based on Mazda 2 which comes with many features for its class. However, now the Scion brand has been stopped, it becomes 2017 the new Toyota Yaris. This name is actually not new because the car was previously sold in Canada with the same brand. Except for badge changes, the new Yaris is quite identical to the scion sauce and there is no significant difference between the two. The price is the same, the interior is as good as before while the equipment level has never been better.

But what is that?

The new Yaris actually is Mazda 2 where Toyota builds a new body. The end result is a good car that looks good, unfortunately, not on the taste of everyone. Nevertheless it offers great driving characteristics thanks to its very modular and rigid chassis and extraordinary fuel efficiency.

Also, starting from around $ 15,000, the new Yaris is one that can be bought by the best car money at this price. Besides that it also gets many features though so cheap. Fortunately, even though the Scion brand is missing, there are still many aftermarket features for that which will allow buyers to adjust the car with their own wishes.

Interior

Here Toyota Yaris IA 2017 is identical to the base Mazda 2 and the only real difference is the Toyota badge from the center of the steering wheel. The basic model gets all the equipment you want in the car below $ 20,000. Start the push button, backup camera, seven-inch touch screen infotainment center, cruise ship control, USB and AUX input are all offered as standard.

Infotainment can also be controlled through the knob in the middle console, similar to what BMW does with their idrive system. The only choice of money that can be purchased on it is a six-speed automatic gearbox which is a decent upgrade above the manual.

DESIGN

Yaris he is just identical to the replaced Scion. In front, there is a great big pentagonal grille which makes it look a little too much like Ford. However, it offers headlights similar to Mazda and general forms of cars really balanced. The back is a bit too high for some but it’s still a round car. The outside doesn’t provide too many adjustment options from the factory but there are some aftermarket parts for it.

Machine Toyota Yaris IA 2017

The Toyota Yaris IA 2017 is equipped with an inline 4.5 liter gasoline engine sucked naturally. It displays 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft torque which is not much with any standard. Manual gearbox six speeds are good but need a lot of engagement to make the car run fast. Automatic six-speed, which is a choice, much better in this matter.

However, the car will reach 60 mph in about 9 seconds and it will do more than 40 mpg on the highway. The best part about it is not a machine but chassis. Because it is Mazda in essence, he drives beautifully for this price point. The steering is sharp and offers a lot of feedback, the driving position is very good and the brakes are certainly above the average class. Thanks to his very capable chassis, we can even see a higher performance model in the future.
