12 Cars For Under 17,000 AUD That Look Like A Million Bucks
6. Toyota Yaris YR NCP 130 R
Both feature a 1.3 litre four cylinder engine, but the manual gives better fuel consumption, at 5.7 litres/100 km versus 6.3. Both are made in Japan and carry a 100,000 km or three year warranty.
The Yaris has the longest wheelbase of the small cars, and this means more cabin space for you and your passengers.
Of course you also get the well-known reliability of the Toyota brand, and great looks and safety features in this little car, which has been a perennial favourite ever since it was called the Echo.
Toyotas last forever, and the Yaris is no exception to this rule. The Yaris will retain its value over time and you will still have something of value to trade in when you are looking for a new car.
The Yaris is a smaller car, so larger families will want to consider a bigger ride. Four adult passengers will fit comfortably in the Yaris, but the safety ratings for children riding in the car are slightly lower than for adults. The safety features are abundant in the Yaris, and it has a high safety rating for such a small vehicle.
