TOYOTA YARIS

The second generation Yaris addresses lots of criticisms which its predecessor faced including the lack of space for both people and cargo and the non-availability of a lower displacement engine. Well, with both sides covered there's a variant for you.

The Good: More space, more variants
The Bad: Some hard touch plastics

Price Range: P720,000-P855,000
