If used as a daily commuter, the Toyota Yaris offers front passengers acceptable accommodations in terms of comfort. The driver gets a tilt steering wheel for a suitable driving position, the side bolsters are a little lean but they’re in line with the car’s limited handling abilities, and there’s generous overall room. On the other hand, the Yaris is a low-priced economy car, a point made obvious by the hard plastic on the door sills and armrests, hard plastic on the lower dash upon which the unfortunate knee will occasionally brush, and the stiff seats that feel more like one big piece of rigid foam rather than traditional, somewhat soft cushions. Over the long haul, the hard surfaces and unforgiving seats become increasingly inhospitable.
