Are there still good, affordable small sedans on the market? Yes, with case in point being the 2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan.
This subcompact four-door used to be called the Yaris iA up until a year ago. Kudos to Toyota for giving it a more fitting name.
This Yaris has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 106 horsepower and is linked to a standard six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic.
Obviously, this is far from a muscle car, and it can be a bit sluggish when it comes to acceleration.
But the upside of course is that fuel economy numbers are really strong. The Yaris Sedan is rated at 32 mpg city, 40 highway by the EPA.
A recent trip to the gas station almost filled the Yaris's tank for about a whopping $12.
Interior space is rather limited, so this is not what you would call a family car. But if you just need something to zip around town in, it's a great choice. Seating up front was comfortable with the seat pushed as far back as it goes for us tall drivers. But it leaves next to no room for back seat passengers.
The Yaris Sedan comes in three trim levels: L, LE and XLE.
Our test drive model was an XLE trim that carried a sticker price of $19,470 and it was fully decked out.
A nice small sedan with a nice price tag and great gas mileage is what you get with the Yaris Sedan.
