Is the Toyota Yaris just a Smart Car with a back seat?

I would like to buy a smart car but I think I might need a back seat once in a while, so would the toyota yaris be the closest car? Does the Yaris get good mileage like the smart car does?|||The EPA estimated fuel efficiency of the Smart ForTwo is 33 miles per gallon in city and 41 mpg on highway. The EPA estimated fuel efficiency of the Toyota Yaris is 29 mpg in city and 35 mpg (36 mpg for the manual transmission version) on highway. So, by this measure the Smart ForTwo is better.





However, the Toyota Yaris and its predecessor, the Echo, have received Consumer Reports' highest Reliability Verdicts for all of the model years for which they have existed. By contrast, if the Smart ForTwo is a typical Daimler product, it should have one of the worst reliability records as the vehicles age. See AutoOnInfo.net's Greenest Automobiles of 2008 at http://www.AutoOnInfo.net/GreenestDozen2鈥?/a> and its lists of the Best and Worst Automobiles of 2008 at http://www.AutoOnInfo.net/NAEd200711Best鈥?/a> .





Although the overall reliability of the Smart ForTwo may be among the worst, it appears unlikely that its engine or transmission will be among the worst (or among the best). See AutoOnInfo.net's Best and Worst by engine reliability at http://www.AutoOnInfo.net/NAEd200804Best鈥?/a> and its Best and Worst by transmission reliability at http://www.AutoOnInfo.net/NAEd200804Best鈥?/a> .|||No the Yaris is just an updated version of the Toyota Echo and is similar to the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa. Toyota's own version of the Smart Fortwo with a back seat is the Toyota iQ but it isn't available in the U.S. yet and the back seat will only hold 1 adult plus 1 small child.|||No the Yaris Liftback is definately in the traditional hatchback class. Roomier than it looks on the outside, folding seats and such. However, it does get great gas milage (manual's get about 40 mpg and my automatic averages in the mid-high thirtys) and is economical so if you are in the US and looking to downsize and save money on gas but not quite ready to jump into a two seater that is about the size of a tractor trailer's wheel, the Yaris is an excelent alternative. However, depending on where you are, good luck finding one...|||if your going for a yaris you can also look at a corolla for highway mileage. it gets the same highway mileage. i love my corolla and wouldn't want to go smaller.|||the yaris dont get as good as gas milage as the smart car


smart 50 yaris 40|||Yes both cars have good mileage and you should get the car you want no matter what.
