Is the Toyota Yaris Right For You?

admin — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:00:50 +0000

If you want to know how the Toyota Yaris stacks up to similar subcompact cars like the Honda Fit or the Nissan Versa, the first thing you must consider is your needs.

While the Yaris is the smallest of the three vehicles, its entry level price option is lower than both the Fit and the Versa. Additionally, the MPG on the Yaris is greater than both of the other cars and it is equipped with genuine Toyota parts.

Another important element is the Consumer Reports predicted reliability rating. The 2009 Yaris received the highest ranking of “much better than average.” By comparison, the Fit received a “better than average rating and the Versa was given an “average” rating.

Ultimately, if you are looking for the least expensive option then the Yaris is your best bet. Otherwise, it might be time to start upgrading to a roomier model. See your local Toyota dealer for more information on the Toyota Yaris.

What Is OW-20 Oil?

admin — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:00:39 +0000

OW-20 Oil is pure synthetic oil that retails for around $6.36 a quart. That is a pretty high price to pay for one quart, but it is the best oil that you can put into your Toyota. You might be able to haggle with the Toyota Parts department and get a better deal.

Toyota Motor Oil SAE OW-20 is only recommended on certain types of Toyota vehicles, mostly hybrids, so please check with your local Kansas City Toyota Dealership and make sure that your vehicle is one that will take this kind of oil. Sure, there are other oil makers that produce this weight of oil and it might be ok, but wouldn’t you rather spend the extra money and get the Genuine Toyota brand?
