Is Toyota still making Yaris? / Can I buy it?

Well, the short answer to both the questions is ‘no’. Toyota has ceased production of the Yaris, however, so it is possible that many dealers have the car in stock. Despite the fact that Toyota is assuring availability of parts and after-sales service, we still think it would be prudent to go for another car at this point in time. While both the Honda City and the Hyundai Verna are good options, you can go for the Urban Cruiser if you want a Toyota brand car at a similar price point. Yes, it’s the Vitara Brezza below, but it’s a very good SUV and you get Toyota’s reliable aftersales support with it.
