I had a Yaris sedan as a rental.  The kids liked the hatchback but said the sedan was "ugly".

This car is very economical and good on gas.  It's peppy in town and looks to be a nice fit for university students, 2nd car for young moms and first car for those fresh out of school.

The things I did not like about this car is the cheapness of the interior.  Do not expect anything "upscale" about the interior of the Yaris sedan.  I'm 6 feet tall and my head was barely an inch from the ceiling (I found interior space lacking).

In town driving was okay and the car is adequate for virtually all driving situations in the city.  On the highway, the car is noisy (engine and exterior noise) and not very comfortable.

The Yaris sedan is what it is:  an unpretentious vehicle.  It is something that is cheap, economical and fuel efficient.  This car will not be a good fit for some people - especially those that are big, tall and expect a better ride.  In this car segment, these people should check out the Nissan Versa sedan.
