It is noteworthy that the automatic Yaris suffers from a disadvantage against its competitors equipped with automated sorting CVT or 6-position, which is evident when it comes to acquiring speed. Fortunately the group subcompact is one of the last bastions of survival for manual changes, which in the Yaris are a real necessity. According to EPA estimates Yaris automatic consumption is 32 mpg combined (30 city and 36 highway) and is 33 mpg (30 city and 37 highway) for manual variants.

To break a little its range Toyota Yaris 2015 pigeonholed as an economic vehicle and is offered with bodies of two or four-door hatchback. The L and LE series are available in both configurations but the sporty SE, only available as a four-door.

One of his points is its equipment, which in the entry-level version is surprisingly complete. 15-inch wheels, air conditioning, trip computer, adjustable driver's seat height and power door locks and windows are on the menu. Besides the 6.1-inch touch screen, auxiliary connection with USB interface, iPod, Bluetooth and 6 speakers are linked to the young audience that can buy one of these cars.

Inside and commands are operated easily and intuitively. Its driving position is very good and displays the path accordingly, but for longer trips her something hard seats can be somewhat cansones. On the rear and taking into account actions of the vehicle seats two adults can cope with short trips and stay still friends, but long travel will be a challenge, especially for taller. For children, however, the rear row presents no problems.

An attractive design, complete equipment, adequate indoor space and a good performance in urban driving part of its strongest points. But a modern automatic transmission transmission is a sine qua non for the Yaris is competitive with competitors such as the Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit or excellent companion showroom, the Scion iA.

Why do we have to stay with the desire of a 86 GT like this?

It is a limited edition of the Toyota GT 86 called Yellow Limited with its yellow body covered Sunrise Yellow that is seasoned with two specific aerodynamic kits and more personal interior.

Yes, only for Japan and, much as it pains me, we deserve colleges like this. Much talk about that all the cars are the same, that if lack passion, whether they are expensive or appliances, but Toyota and Subaru were put in the tray 86 and the BRZ GT respectively and the market is left to die. Two devices that transmit tremendous feelings, but people buy others.

What does a Toyota WRC Mirai?

What does a Toyota WRC Mirai? - Last week the Rallye Deutschland, the ninth round of the World Rally Championship which incidentally won Sebastien Ogier test was held. But the dominance of Volkswagen driver was not what caught our attention in the German test.

What he caught our eye was seeing, as part of the motorcade that precedes the participants, a Toyota Mirai doing zero work car that goes faster just before the first race car. What does a Toyota Mirai there?

Well there are two reasons to see the hydrogen car in this manner so unusual. On the one hand, Toyota Germany decided to put the Mirai make this work to promote the new model, which goes on sale in September in three European markets: UK, Germany and Denmark.

What does a Toyota WRC Mirai?

Mirai Toyota World Rally Championship-2

On the other hand, Toyota has decided to recall all rally fans who will return to the top flight competition in 2017, with a Toyota Yaris WRC and not a Mirai properly prepared.

It is strange to see the hydrogen car as strong support during cornering while driving Japanese journalist Mitsuhiro Kunisawa. It is not a sports car, as demonstrated by its numbers. It does 0-100 km / h in 9.6 seconds, exciting.

But the head of development of Toyota Mirai goes further and does not close the door to that someday a Toyota hydrogen can participate in the WRC: "It is our dream that someday a car fuel cell to participate in the WRC."

Do hands to his head? Let's not forget that the 24 Hours of Le Mans have been won over many years diesel cars and hybrids are the order of the day in that competition. Automotive technology evolves very fast and the racing world must evolve in parallel to it.
