Fuel Efficient Car

2007 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Liftback

The 2007 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Liftback is a vehicle that sufficiently meets my needs and a vehicle that is efficient and healthy for the environment. It can comfortably fit five adults while being the needed and correct body type (small), as seen in above image. In fact, each passenger is provided with 16.92 cubic feet; a comfortable space. It includes air conditioning for hot summer days. The Toyota Yaris is also extremely safe. One of its options is airbags (front side and side head). Furthermore, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes are another safety option. While these features slightly increase the weight of the car, they are necessary for the passenger and driver's safety.

The engine type of the 2007 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Liftback is gasoline. While gasoline is a nonrenewable fossil fuel that creates air pollution, the vehicle is extremely fuel efficient. Its highway fuel economy is 40 miles per gallon and its city fuel economy is 34. Compared to vehicles that use up 15 miles per gallon (i.e. the big SUV), the 2007 Toyota Yaris Liftback is extremely fuel efficient. My work will most likely be extremely close to my house, like 8 miles away. If the work is 7 miles away, one gallon of gasoline will last approximately 6 days! An SUV driving 8 miles (twice) everyday will need almost a gallon everyday.

Almost all comfort and convenience features are optional. These optional features are:

* Power windows/door locks/mirrors

* Cruise Control

* Keyless entry

The standard features are air conditioning. For this situation, I will choose none of the optional features. Extra features will increase the weight of the car, therefore decreasing its efficiency.

The price of the 2007 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Liftback is fairly affordable. It is $11,5985. It is much less expensive than the other cars (for example 2006 Toyota Avalon- $23,7888.) It is also not too cheap. Cheap cars, for like $2,000 are usually used and require a lot of repairing (and money) to continue to work.

The 2007 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Liftback adequately meets my needs for a suitable car and is energy efficient and healthy for the environment.
