It’s officially the time of year for new high school and college graduates to start looking for a new car to start their new life. While many young drivers opt for a used vehicle, there are definite advantages to financing or leasing a new car. Having a brand new vehicle with no issues to fix and a warranty that will cover repairs is a huge bonus. But many young drivers don’t have very much money saved up and don’t want to take on the debt of a new-car financing plan. This is where the 2013 Toyota Yaris comes in. This subcompact is stylish, reliable, and fuel efficient; has modern safety features and technology; and, most of all, comes at an affordable starting price.

With a starting MSRP of only $14,370 the 2013 Yaris is very affordable and can be financed with little money down and low monthly payments. This subcompact hatchback has the added value of being backed by Toyota’s legendary reliability. Thanks to low maintenance costs and affordable insurance, along with 37 MPG highway, the Yaris has an extremely affordable cost of ownership.

With modern styling, fun-to-drive and responsive handling, and plenty of space for friends or cargo, it is easy to see why this subcompact is so appealing to younger drivers. Both 3-door and 5-door models are fun to drive around town thanks to their lightweight construction and a 1.5-Liter four cylinder engine that can be matched with a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission. With 9 airbags, high-strength steel construction, Whiplash-Injury-Lessening seats, and stability control, the Yaris is as safe as it is fun.
