The 2011 Toyota Vitz is designed for drivers who want an inexpensive sedan or hatchback with good fuel economy. The Yaris has a standard 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Reviewers said it isn’t very powerful, but is good enough for traveling around town. With the standard manual transmission, it averages 29/36 mpg city/highway.

As one of the smaller models in the class, the Vitz doesn’t have expansive passenger space. Reviewers said tall adults will find legroom in the front and back seats cramped. For a subcompact, the Yaris sedan has a lot of trunk space, but the Vitz hatchback has less cargo room than some competitors.

The Vitz has safety features like electronic stability and traction control, which some competitors don’t have. But the Vitz’s list of standard interior features is short.
