We test drove a few of these as we were seriously considering purchasing
one. We tried to like it. We really did. We just found it to be too
cardboardy for us after all. We ended up buying a Prius.

if your goal is the absolute cheapest transportation? sure!

the scion xa has the same drivetrain, 2 more doors, and way more
standard features for not much more than a yaris with all the option
packages.

And then if you want even MORE practicality, go one step further and
get an xB -- larger hauling capacity, more passenger space, and that
LOOK -- but you have to act fast before they're all gone . . . .

Isn't the Yaris available as a sedan with 4 doors?
Thought I saw one with four doors at my local Toyota dealer.
Or perhaps you assumed the OP wants hatchback?

The Yaris is available as a 4 door sedan and 3 door hatchback in the U.S.

One might want to check the various crash test ratings before committing
themselves and their family to a vehicle that small to drive on American
highways, just to save a few dollars a month on fuel. A Corolla is a far
better and safer choice

I tried a Yaris sedan, and Consumer Reports was right about its sloppy
handling. I'd rather get a year-old used Corolla.

The Nissan Versa is really nice and probably the obvious choice among
small cars if you have to carry more than two people.

The Ford Focus can be really cheap because Ford is having trouble
selling them, especially the hatchbacks.
