Is the Toyota Yaris a reliable and safe car choice for a family of four?

My husband and I are considering purchasing a Toyota Yaris to commute to work and drive our two kids to school. We've heard mixed reviews about its reliability and safety. Can anyone provide insight or advice on whether the Yaris is a good fit for our family's needs?

I've been driving a Toyota Yaris for the past 5 years and have never had any major issues. I feel confident and safe driving my kids around in it.

My friend owns a Toyota Yaris and raves about it, but they've had to take it to the mechanic multiple times for repairs. I wouldn't recommend it for a family car.

I work at a Toyota dealership and have seen firsthand the safety tests and features of the Yaris. It's definitely a reliable and safe choice for a family of four.

I would personally suggest looking into a larger vehicle for your family, such as a Toyota Highlander. The Yaris can feel cramped with four people and their belongings.
