|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 0.6 Hybrid | 1.0 Petrol | |
| Hybrid engines (BMW i3) offer better fuel economy and lower emissions than petrol engines, especially in city driving with frequent stops. Petrol (Toyota Yaris) engines, however, are typically less expensive to buy and maintain, and offer more consistent performance on highways. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Yaris) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW i3) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
| Toyota Yaris 2005 1.0 engine: Engine often vibrates and has difficulty starting in cold weather. Timing chain lifetime is not very long. | |||
