The 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback delivers 29 mpg in the cities and a whopping 36 on the highways. It is not a hybrid! And even though some hybrids on the market do deliver superior fuel economy, the Yaris doesn't cost nearly as much. With manufacturer's suggested pricing ranging between $12,355 and $13,115, the Yaris presents excellent value per dollar. Let's just say that it would take a lot of driving to make up for the sticker price differences via savings at fuel pumps. And don't let the those low numbers fool you: the Yaris hatchback has been very well-crafted - both inside and out.
