    Here's our review for the Toyota Yaris:

    To make this short, decide first if you want a M/T or CVT (like an A/T but much better).

    If it's a M/T, go for the Yaris.

    If it's a CVT, go for the City. The auto mode of the CVT is really great for first time drivers.

    i would go for the City. i really love the CVT... and besides, it has more trunk space.

    if you plan to keep the car for a long time, go for the yaris.

    CVT manitenance looks expensive in the long run
    and also that two sparks per cylinder thing of the honda.

    yung two spark plugs is only on the iDSI model of the city. if VTEC apat parin lahat ng sparks. pero matipid talaga yung iDSI

    I prefer the Yaris in terms of reliablilty and low cost maintainance. The City is a good car but the maintainance of a Honda is more expensive. The City is also not very stable when driven on rough roads. I own a 06 City VTEC once.
