In my opinion this is the ugliest new car release of the year. Looks like a Ford Fiesta (or Mazda2) had an accident with a Mazda3, and it doesn't get better on the inside.
Maybe it's just too futuristic for me but it seems the interior parts were sourced from several different cars.
They have managed to get the back of the Yaris done fairly nicely, again a bit too Mazda3ish, still nice.
OK so here it is the Mazda2. Yes the Mazda Yaris, built in Mexico by Mazda for Toyota, based on the Mazda2 sedan.
The 2016 Yaris is powered by a 1.5L direct-injected four cylinder engine producing 106 hp at 6,000 rpm and 103 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm to the front wheels.
Prices start at $16,995 Canadian for the 6 speed manual equipped with: push-button start, tilt-telescope steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, four-speaker audio, USB, Bluetooth and 16-inch steel wheels with covers.
The manual transmission attains a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 6.7 L/100 km.
An automatic transmission Yaris can be had for an additional $1,205. At $18,200 canadian it gets a 6 speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque converter and sport mode. This automatic transmission attains an even better combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 6.4 L/100 km.
The interior of the 2016 Yaris sedan is lifted right out of the new Mazda CX-3 crossover. Where the large central speedometer is back-lit, but the digital tachometer just to the left is fairly small and hard to read.
If you actually like the 2016 Yaris sedan here is the link to the full article on Autos.ca: http://www.autos.ca/first-drives/first-drive-2016-toyota-yaris-sedan/?all=1
