Is the new Toyota Yaris as good for backs as the old ones?

Are 2014/15 Toyota Yaris models as comfortable as older models (2007) for people with back problems?

Hi Elizabeth,

I would think so, yes. I'm a bad back sufferer myself and I've had no problems with the current generation Yaris in that respect. That said, everyone's back is different so get out there and try one yourself to see. It would be worth asking the dealer for an extended 24-hour or 48-hour road test to try and spend as much time as possible in the car and see how your back reacts.
