It’s a shame they’re woefully underpowered, I think a Corolla might be more versatile, economical but still more room and power for the highway. If you’re only in the city then the Yaris should be ok.

I got a 2006 Yaris II 1.0 petrol. Very good car. Retro look in 2021, kinda seems prettier than the newer models to my eyes. Got the full packet, silver color. Had to change battery, alternator and now it has some issue where it shakes when in 1st gear accelerating. But I think a 200-300$ repair will do the trick. It drives still good and is comfortable. For highways and hills get the 1.33l which I also owned but sold.

I currently own 4 cars: a 2018 Subaru WRX, 2019 Porsche Cayman GTS, 2008 Subaru Forester XT, and an 07 Toyota Yaris Base. Over the years, I've dealt with plenty of issues with all of these cars (sometimes with 2-3 cars in the garage at once), and whenever I needed to rely on a car, the Yaris was my crutch. Currently at 169,000 miles (~270k km), and last I checked, still giving me 38 odd miles to the gallon. Nothing but routine oil, tire, battery and brake maintenance. Owned it since 2008 when I lived in the snowbelt, and it has survived -35 F blizzards and 120 F California summers. Driven across the country (Chicago to LA) twice, and from LA to Portland/Seattle three times. I've transported mattresses, TVs, a clothes dresser and a dishwasher in the hatch. The most reliable car I've ever owned and still could be sold for ~4-5k USD. Not that I would ever sell my beloved cherry.

If you ever have weird electrical problems, like your power steering going out for a moment but never get a battery or any warning light, its the alternator, and if you put in a new one from ebay and it makes a weird alternator noise, it’s the alternator, and when you buy another alternator from Remy and you still have the same problem its not a electrical problem, its the alternator that now the mechanic diagnoses and puts in a used test alternator and now it runs great. Buy Denso don’t cheap out.

My son just bought a low mileage 57 plate one yesterday, with full Toyota service history, how good is it……brilliant, on another planet with his similar age Fiesta, the build is awesome, super tight feeling, almost like new, way better than any Polo I’ve driven, too. Toyota really know how to build a car, it even feels up to date with regard to the interior and the panel gaps are super tight. No bangs clocks or anything, super smooth in every department. The oddments space inside is amazing and the rear room is tardis like, with rear seat sliding and reclining, brilliant! This thing will go on forever, quite fancy one myself!

New alternator was required and the model he got was the one that was a pain to access, so it was the only thing that was not well designed. There is a version that is really easy to change, but of course mine was a garage job. It is the 1.33 litre version. 2.5 years of reliable motoring and Motorway are gonna give me £1500, silly!

Driver seat upholstery is starting to wear out. Changing headlight bulbs is a pain. Overall I really like it and plan to keep it as long as it will still be reliable.

Really is the sweet spot in city driving… I had a 2008 yaris sedan & it did come with cruise control, so I never had to look at the middle gages too much… I absolutely loved it… totaled it in crash… I wasn’t hurt except my left hand flew up & over to the left & I broke my edge hand bone & had a cast on for 3-4 weeks then signed waver to get them to take the horrible thing off & before that I had to modify the cast so my thumb could at least touch my forefinger to pick up a dang piece of paper or fold clothes etc…anyways… I got a2009 Toyota yaris hatchback & love it too… back seats folded down in my sedan too… the only thing I really don’t like is that I have to watch my speed all the time because no cruze-control which I don’t like looking to the middle to view it all the time… Both of them gave me zero trouble oh except the serpentine belt in the 2008 sedan, but that was because a misprint in the Toyota manual listed a size too big & I kept having my mechanic replace it for free though because of guaranteed parts… but on the fourth time they said they would have to charge me & that they had to go by the manual… so next time I was going to have to have the Toyota dealer replace it… but totaled it before that

I own a 2012 Yaris SE my wife and I bought new in June 2012. This car was made in Japan and came over on a boat end of May 2012. Being an SE trim level there wasn’t very many of those coming over. Mine went to a dealership in South Carolina and I live in north Florida. My local dealer in south Ga worked a deal to get it for me. Anyway there is now 99,475 miles on it and it still looks and runs like new inside and out. I do all my own maintenance so I know it’s done and done right. It’s easy to park and drive. Not a complicated car at all and the dash has large dials and buttons and isn’t cluttered. I get around 38 mph combo city highway driving. Being a hatch back with 4 doors it’s very versatile and I have hauled all kinds of stuff in it. Keeping it until the proverbial wheels fall off. The engine from what I hear is pretty much bullet proof and lasts a very long time even with poor maintenance.

These engines (1NZ-FE and 2NZ-FE) have been around since 1999 and were finallu finally replaced (in Australia anyway) in the current 4th Gen yaris. They are absolutely tried and tested. My mother's 2003 echo doesn't even have an oil leak and sounds just as strong as the first day I drove it back when it was my first car...in 2003. The hydraulic boot struts have gone tho. And the fuel Guage is a bit dicky. But other than that, such a reliable car!

As a delivery driver for the big pizza chain I have driven many, many, 2NZ-FE Yaris'. Very healthy and solid engine. I will say however, at least on the 3rd gen Auto's, the throttle response is horribly unilinear and unrefined. It feels as there are only a few throttle positions, rather than an infinitely modulating throttle. It's like, you can only drive it like a grandma or have it absolutely scream. The 4spd is unrefined and not a nice match for the weak 1.3. Not to say it's a bad car but I would avoid owning a 1.3+4spd model, it's unpleasant to drive in my opinion. I think given the era of the third gen cars, a more modern 6spd auto or CVT would be much more appropriate. I will however complement their handling, lot's of roll but they stick like glue around corners. I drive an 05 GD3 Jazz with 1.5 (L15A1_VTEC, yes real VTEC, but only 2 cam profiles rather than the typical 3), whilst numb, I find the powertrain to be much more pleasant and smooth. It's not only more powerful, smoother but also fuel efficient haha. Though, despite being perfectly fine, it at times sounds unhealthy, I really think Toyota make the healthiest and most pleasant sounding engines by far. Toyota V6's truly are the chefs kiss. I hope to drive a 4th gen some day, modern 1.5+CVT/hybrid would be much more refined and pleasant, probably doesn't need to redline for moderate acceleration up a slight incline haha. TNGA cars are solid.

I bought a new 2011 Yaris while I was teaching in Oman, and it was fantastic...small, but quick and economical. They were so popular that Omanies would came up to me wanting to buy it. I didn't like the speedometer in the center though. That was weird, and the fuel gadge was to the right of that making it easy to forget about and caused me to run out of gas once. All in all it was a great car for the money.

The Yaris is an outstanding car, probably one of the most reliable ever made. I regularly drive 600 miles / 800km through 5 countries from Germany to England. During the pandemic I was forced to buy a car in a hurry at a time when the pandemic prevented me earning any money. A break down in a foreign country is very bad, so reliability was the most important thing. My short list was either a Yaris or a Honda Jazz. It was a Yaris that became available first which i bought and have been very happy with it. In Europe we get the 97 bhp 1.33 vvti engine which is an absolute gem of an engine. I can be lazy and it will pull from very low revs, or I can thrash it and have some fun. We get the 6 speed box which is great on the Autobahn as at 70mph / 120 Kmh its only doing 2500 rpm so for a small car its remarkably quiet. It drives like a large car from the 1990s. I've now had it 4 years and the only thing that's broken in that time was a wheel stud because somebody must have over tightened it with a windy-gun. It only cost a few quid to change. Other than that all Ive done is regular servicing which I do myself as its dead easy. The only thing that i would mention is always rust proof them. The factory paint on the floorpan starts to break down and corrode after 10 years. Luckily I got mine at 9 years old and thoroughly rust proofed it while it was still good. I've loved the car so much i also bought a 1.33 IQ as well which is the fun version of the Yaris. The only disadvantage with the Yaris is I can't bear to part with it. I really wanted something slightly bigger and more luxurious such as a Corrolla or Prius but the Yaris just goes and goes. If I buy a new one my insurance will double and my servicing costs will be 10x as much so for now I keep driving the Yaris.

Mine does not have ABS so it wasn’t too pricey. ABS will cost you double on that job. The car has been extremely reliable and is cheap to maintain and gives excellent gas mileage while being fun to drive. I love it. Simplicity at low cost 👍

I agree about the 1.5. 260,000km on the clock and still going well. It's manual and have taught all our three kids to drive in it. Changed the clutch recently and put second hand gearbox in because synchro was going on third gear. The car is based in Melbourne and has been on several Australian outback trips including Lightning Ridge, and more recently the dirt roads to Cameron Corner. It's had a crash with a deer and survived and also swallowed up a galah in the grille. Both the deer and galah survived the crash as did the Yaris. What a car!

I replaced tires, brakes, battery and I think a water pump. Otherwise nothing else. I put leather seat covers on the front seats to make them better. Put some chrome handles on the two doors and bought a mahogany colored dash kit to add some contrast to the rather plain dash. I also bought some molded floor mats customized for a Yaris to keep water off the carpet. I replaced the radio so now I have a back up camera too. I have remote start to warm it up in Winter without having to get inside it. I have 70,000 miles on it and I LOVE that car!

I've owned it for almost 4 years and I've only had to replace the water pump, all suspension, sway bar links, control arm bushings, CV boots and plan to have it repainted down the line, all this for a 17 year old car with the odometer recently rolling over 162222 km. It is a stellar car to drive and doesn't sound raspy like a Honda Civivc if you were to remove the muffler and get an axle back installed

Still has the original clutch & front disc brake pads. Electric power steering, all the bells & whistles including tinted windows/windshield, cruise control, power windows, power side view mirrors, keyless entry, except the cold weather package. Still no holes/tears on the front or rear seats. The a/c is still putting out 42º cold air at the air outlet ports.

To elaborate: I have a 2006 Yaris RS (manual) purchased in December 2005. Love this car - great commuter. Over 230K kilometers which I hope to extend as long as possible. Sure the seats aren't the greatest for long hauls. Not like my old Subie on the East coast winter roads. Now living in a more temperate climate, purchased Nordman WR all weather tires to manage the mercurial Eastern Ontario winters - so far so good. 2 recommendations I have: annual rust check application is a must and what I learned recently - do not downshift to slow down. I'm old school. Have been driving manual for over 40 years. Thot I was being efficient until my original clutch started talking to me - chattering. Thot I would have to replace but my mechanic (great Japanese shop) told me to start using my brakes and all good for now. The exhaust system can be pricey to swap out. Make sure you're dealing with a reputable muffler shop. Once again, my regualr mechanic helped me navigate that potential shitstorm :-)

I first saw the Yaris in Iceland and fell right in love with it. In 2010 I bought a Yaris S and drove it for 90,000 miles until some jerk tried to occupy the same parking space I was already in. I actually loved having the cluster in the middle of dash since I didn't have the glare of the gauges hitting me on my morning commute. It reliably got me to my teaching job and home without any issues. In all of the time of ownership, I went through normal wear and tear items, and all that broke on me was my water pump at about 80,000 miles. I still feel sad when I see a Yaris like mine on the road. We actually have a 2015 Yaris hatchback right now with only 64,000 miles on it. I added cruise control (they are all wired for it) and plan on adding a radio with a backup camera soon.

The Yaris is a fantastic little vehicle. Mine has 180k miles on it and nothing has ever gone wrong. It's 13 years old now the only issue it's ever had is tires, breaks, and a battery. And actually the breaks have probably only been done once. I don't recall doing it in my 80k of ownership. The safety section should have gone into more detail. Those without side curtain airbags were the least safe cars on the road. The side curtain airbags actually seem to help a lot. As for the tech... It's not bad it's perfect. You can get them with Cruse control (or often install it yourself) and honestly, anything more is just more to break that can't be fixed.

Fitted cruise control, aftermarket Sony head unit, reverse camera and under seat subwoofer. Installed RAV4 wiper switch so can adjust the intermittent wiper speed. Replaced the headlights due to yellowing, could hardly see at night when raining. They are affordable to maintain if DIY, watch out for cheap Chinese knock off parts (sensors and oil filters in particular) as you get what you pay for. Will keep driving until EVs become more affordable. Looking at Tesla model 2 (not on sale yet) or BYD Seagull not currently available in Australia.

I've got a 2000 Echo, the name used for the first few years of Yaris sales in the U.S. A driver since the mid-1960s, it's the most fun-to-drive car I've ever owned. The light weight makes it quite peppy with the 1.5 L engine and being gentle on the acceleration, I get 42 mpg around town. I also like its simplicity (i.e. crank windows) in comparison to more recent models. I wish it were a tiny bit bigger, but with a cargo rack on top and a trailer hitch, I can haul almost anything.

I fitted after market cruise control. Whenever I catch up to a slower vehicle on a multi lane highway and attempt to overtake them, they speed up. So, you drop in behind them and then they slow down again. I know this as my cruise control hasn't changed. This happens time and time again. This is the first thing I noticed when I switched from my Mazda 626 to a 1998 Daihatsu Sirion - also a small car like the Yaris.

​@@synapticburn It came from Command Auto Group, an AP900 with a CM21 steering hub switch. You can google them. It was supplied and installed by a local auto trimmer "Pimp My Ride". The Sydney factory tech was very helpful with a check engine issue. In the end PMR changed the plugs on the accelerator pedal so that the unit could be fully isolated for diagnosis and plugged straight through.

@@synapticburn What is most frustrating is that the car is already drive-by-wire and the USA version has cruise control as standard. All that is really needed is a control unit but the firmware in the Australian version does not support it so you have to fit an after market system.

@@synapticburn I did reply and explained all. But KZbin has deleted my comment which took a long time to type. I think it is because the name of the company that fitted my cruise control contains a word that is used to refer to those gents who manage ladies of the night.

2009 yaris, still have it and keeping it till the wheels fall of at its current rate. No issues, just regular maintenance. Oh and the speakers are FINE, the issue is the sound treatement, put a decent amount of sound deadaning in the door panels and you will be amazed at how much better the stock speakers sound!

After my 2nd Honda Civic was stolen in San Francisco, I got an amazing deal from a local electric car dealership on an 07 Yaris, manual I really did got lucky, after ditching the “Tokyo Drift mobile” which the lawlessness element had it’s eye on constantly, I’m now humping around in this granny cart undetected. Word though, be sure to replace the front pare of tires, they take on the brunt of breaking and traction and the infamous Streets of San Francisco really brought that out. My daily commute takes me over a circuitous route through the hilly bits to avoid zombies and traffic congestion (which the aforementioned zombies are likely to get at your car)

I own and drive my little 2007 Yaris 4-door sedan with the 1.5L engine, and 4-speed auto trans on a daily basis. 350K miles so far. Great gas mileage. AC and heat is great. Only drawback? Its black in color. Hot in Mississippi in the summer months! Love my little getalong!!

These are usually competing with all the imported Honda Fit's in NZ. Having driven a bunch of cars in the segment I don't see why you wouldn't just get Fit or Jazz Instead. They're better in pretty much every way. Servicing costs are the only point against the Fit.

FIT is no longer sold in the USA. Sadly. I had a great 2013 FIT that recently got totalled by a reckless, negligent driver. Can't find anything even NEAR comparable to replace it. It was 11 yrs old, only 36,000 miles and the body and interior were like new. I'm devastated.
