2016 Toyota Yaris Hatchback LE 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
Better Than Wannabe Racers Think It Should Be
 I knew what to expect.  Poor acceleration, low engine power.  I commute 45 minutes each way, mostly on Interstate and divided highways.  The seats are not bad.  I could drive this car for 5 or 6 hours or more without getting bedsores, as some would have you think.  My 2016 LE model has AC, Cruise control and a nice Entune radio with bluetooth, which does a great job of picking up my audio from my iPhone and displaying the name of the song on screen.  Anybody who buys this car and then complains about its lack of power did not do their research and is suffering from unrealistic expectations.  Its a basic car with minimal frills and it does a good job at being that.  I find that a lot of professional reviewers are former race car drivers and very experienced at driving exotic performance cars and look at the Yaris with a jaundiced eye.   Non-professional reviewers are boy-racer wannabes and have unrealistic expectations for sure.  Not all reviews can be generalized like this, but a lot of them are unrealistic.
