regarding the yaris central dash , i didn't find it to hard or too far away to glance at when taking it for a test drive , what i didn't like was the little light bars for the gas was the farthest point away , i could see me not noticing the last flashing bar for gas . i noticed on yaris world ,some people were running out of gas ,it could be because of the location of these 6 bars
the only cars that get better gas mileage than the yaris is a few diesil powered cars and the hybrids so it is no 1 for best gas mileage for a strickly gas powered car
i feel the yaris is overpriced for features that you have to pay for that other cars include
regarding the fiesta , if you wonder why people would pick it over the yaris , simply read canadian drivers review on it
the yaris gets great gas mileage the fiesta gas mileage will be good
the fiesta is a better car day in and day out to live with in my opinion from what i have read on european reviews of it as well , the yaris has a spartan bare bones looking interior with its odd dash and its hard plastics scratch easily , but it does get great gas mileage , if that is your sole aim , the yaris is perfect for you
