Toyota Yaris 1.5 Hybrid Design CVT 5d Owner Review

Great economy, I have averaged around 70mpg until the snow started. Good acceleration even in ECO mode. Disappointing lack of interior storage, notably lack of pockets on the back of the front seats, could also do with more in the way of power points, USB ports in the back end of the centre console would be handy. Rear seat is not adjustable which is a bit awkward. My least favourite part is the "safety" feature that yanks the steering wheel from your hands when you cross a lane marking: driving mostly on twisty country back roads, this was coming on every mile or two and is unnerving. The manual even recommends you switch this feature off if driving on icy roads, but what a pain, you have to switch it off every time you start the car. Also, when you switch this feature off, it also switches off the safety camera brake assist, a feature I think is useful, shame you can't choose and shame it doesn't take the hint and remember your choice to have the lane twitcher off. Car is prone to misting up and seems difficult to keep mist free, especially on the back side windows.
