... but a car isn't cool unless it's a Coupe :headbang:


I am pretty sure "yaris" and "cool" in the same sentence is an oxymoron... no matter how many doors are on it. :tongue:

Just got a 2014 Yaris LE, 3-door. I'm so stoked about the gas mileage! I've been driving a 2000 Chevy S10 pickup toward its inevitable death, and by comparison the Yaris is immeasurably more fun (no sarcasm intended). Glad to be here!

I'd have posted this in the 3rd gen. area, but there's no "Check-in" board over there.

:laughabove: Yeah, I guess not! It's still pretty cool to me, especially at almost 40 mpg without a real long highway trip, now THAT'S COOL! :smoking:

Welcome, yea! Another Yaris owner :bow:
The gas mileage is GREAT! I fill mine every 3 weeks or so depending on how much 'extra' driving I do - and that's at a 1/4 tank or a little less left. High seating, nice controls, still lovin' this car even after all these months...always am kinda excited to get it it and drive.

WELCOME! :w00t:

AWE-RIGHT! Another Coupe! This car looks SO much better with 2 doors rather then 4. I know folks like/need the versatility of 4 doors, but a car isn't cool unless it's a Coupe :headbang:



I dislike the A-shaped rear pillar on the 4-door 3rd generation. So, from side view, I think the 2-door looks pretty good. Nevertheless, I just couldn't live with the pinched-nose front end, the big chrome rear garnish, and those super ugly ill-fitting rear tails!

Last month, I bought a used 2008 Yaris. Since i didn`t know when the last oil change was made, I made myself an oil and oil filter change. I used Mobil 1best quality full synthetic. Browsing on Internet about Yaris engine, I stopped by this web page: http://www.gobookee.org/get_book.php?u=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zZXR0cmFpbmluZy5jb20 vY29udGVudC9jb3Vyc2UtY29kZXMvMTJfMDdfSFNfVG95b3RhX 0VuZ2luZXNfYW5kX1N5bnRoZXRpY19PaWwxLnBkZgpUT1lPVEE gRU5HSU5FUyBBTkQgU1lOVEhFVElDIE9JTDogV0hBVCBZT1UgT kVFRCBUTyBLTk9X.
It looks like an official Toyota paper listing their car models intended for using synthetic or conventional oil. The Yaris model falls under conventional oil.
Does that mean that synthetic is not good for 1NZ-FE engine or just that synthetic is overkill for this engine?

Cool car to have and I like my 4 door '13 lift back. It will work well of what I need it for. As far as getting together with another person in my area is tough. I think I might go to the local Friday night car show and see if there's anyone there. If anything, I'll be part of the local tuner crowd.

Hi all!!

Purchased a 2010 Yaris Hatch a few months back. Put in a boot, rear and front bumper spoilers and side skirts, as well as new rims. Been wanting to start with the audio system and scratched my head trying to figure what size speakers they come standard with...until stumbling on to this site a few minutes ago that is!!

Thanks for the help, and a awesome forum!!

Hi everyone. I just bought a 2008 flint Micah 4 Dr sedan with all options except keyless entry, mags, cruise, fog lights. Looking forward to learning a lot about this car here cause I like working on my own stuff. I'm putting a compustar starter/alarm combo in myself in the next few weeks along with OEM cruise. I call my yaris a baby corolla. :)

Hi everyone!

Got my Yaris this Saturday. (Also) liking it so far... but I've already has something strange happening to me...

Anyways, it's an european 2007 model Yaris XP9F with the 1NR-FE 73kW gas engine. It has 14k kms, so it's practically new. I'm already noticing a big difference in engine responsiveness just by having added 1000 kms to it...

So... strange thing that happened... Tried to turn it on this morning and it wouldn't turn on. Electrical part turned on normally, just when I turned the key to start the engine nothing happened! It was -6 degrees outside... So I'm thinking... either there's some strange warming up phase that I don't know of... or the clutch sensor is not working very well... or I don't know...

I popped the hood to see if there was something strange in the engine compartment... like some burned cable or whatever... didn't find anything, so went back in the car, shifted into 1st gear, tried again and voilà, it started...

But what do you guys think it was? And where should I post this? I didn't find any "mechanical problems" section... and also... I bought the car in Germany, where I am living at the moment... but I don't know German at all :p so if someone could provide a link for the english version of the car manual that would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!

My bet is the clutch switch.

Yes I would say so too!

Anyways, no I've been doing it in a very procedural way... get in, turn on the electric stuff... clutch pedal to the metal... turn engine on, and so far no problems. We'll see!!

All the best :)

Hello Yarisworld, I purchased a 2010 Blazing Blue Toyota Yaris 3 door liftback with a 5 speed manual shift transmission at the end of November. I was looking at purchasing a used Honda Fit since they always receive such high marks but the one thing that I would always read about was their not so stellar fuel economy. A 1.5L I-4 should get better then mid to low 30's advertised, and when reading online owners were reporting around the same. Im a field service technician for Dell and some days I drive 200+miles. The main reason for purchasing this vehicle was to use for work and so I needed a car with great fuel economy but also cheap as I pretty much have it in the back of my head that this car will get used hard and will be replaced in about 4 or 5 years. I also wanted something low tech, no hybrids and it had to be no older then 4yrs old. Im so glad I discovered the Yaris, for some reason there are almost no Yaris in my area and I love that. The Yaris is good to me, returning almost 50mpg and almost 40mpg city driving. So far I have painted the stock hubcaps flat black, replaced the stock antenna with a carbon fiber TRD 6" antenna, Garfield Just Clinging Around stuffed animal in the driver side rear glass, WeatherTech floor mats for the front, Infinity Kappa 6.5" F+R, clay bar, waxed it about 3 times, and I have a bottle of Toyota Touch-UP Paint to use soon. Im in the middle of my stereo system build right now and have a Pioneer DEH-80PRS and JL Audio XD400/4 on the way. The 10w7 and black 600 watt JL amp will soon follow. Thats all for now. Bye!

Hi, my check engine light is on. The Error Code P2420. What does this error code mean?

P2420:
Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High

Causes:
- Canister pump module (Reference orifice, leak detection pump, vent valve)
- Connector/wire harness (Canister pump module - ECM)
- ECM

The most likely one is the evaporative canister, which is the rectangular black box under the back of the car.

Hi All,
I picked up my white 2008 Yaris LB last month, the fifth Toyota in our household (two Corollas (my wife's current car is a 2003 Corolla), a Celica GT, an Echo, and now the Yaris). I think you could say we suffer from brand loyalty...

Hello- just bought a 07 2 door hatch from a dealer, picking it up today ..My name is Alan I'm 51 & have been into cars my whole life, cant wait to share my observations on this little sweetie..I rented a Yaris for a month & loved the car so I decided to buy one !
I hope I got a good one, clean car fax was owned by girls had a wood kit dash installed, 44k miles too ..cant wait tight little cars that remind me of my BMW 2002 & 318i's a little I once owned a couple decades ago, love the way it revs, shifts, handles & the overall quality feel add close to 40 MPG's { also not to mention I'm cheap }made it a no brainer for me to buy this puddle jumper. , lots of info here I hope maybe I could add to this neat forum, Alan

Cool! :w00t: Japan's cars always has a lot of extra features compared to other countries'. here in Manila we do too, but the conversion to the steering kinda holds us back and limits the sales. :cry: (it's LHD here unlike in Japan/NZ)

This is a great site, all the positive things I've read about the Yaris here helped me make the decision to finally purchase one. Thank you. I feel like I know some of you guys pretty well already from your posts, especially the great CTScott, (if you ever make it down to NYC the beers are on me).

I look forward to a long relationship with both my Yaris and my fellow Yaris owners here on Yarisworld.

Hi, I have just bought a brandnew yaris 1.33 vvti with manuel transmission. I have been driving the car for two weeks. While driving, I have noticed strange back vibration, and it is uncomfortable..I would like to know if this vibration is normal..

Plus, while the car is still, ıf u push back side of the car, back of the car vibrate for a couple of seconds and then get stand still. I guess this motion causes the vibration feeling during driving. ı feel confused...

Ok, 1st post on here. Bought a brand new 1.33 Vvt 6 speed manual in 2010, 5 door. The car never missed a heartbeat in the 3 years I had it. Its final year was spent entirely in France. I had no real problems using a RHD car in a country that drives on the right. Reluctantly sold it having lost my job out there.

Anyway, I'm back in the UK now and earlier today test drove a used version of the same car. Mine had stop/start, this one (late 2009 car) doesn't, but it does beep if I drive it backwards, oh and it has that very much in your face digital odo. Car is spotless inside and out, and the garage will service and MOT it before I pick it up in a weeks time or so. Sweltering day and noticed the aircon not doing much on the test drive. They promised to re-gas it for me.

My 10 Reg car was so perfect, I'm crossing my fingers that this used one (December 09) will prove as trustworthy.

Glad to discover this forum.

Well I just purchesed a 2007 Yaris Liftback Base model with 23,000 miles in basicaly brand new condition. I never thought I would be buying a Eco car but I was looking at adds and found this one and after researching it a bit I thought I would give it a shot.

A little background on me, well I own a 98 Deville D'elegance with the Deathstar V8 (Northstar) and love it but it has some problems and needed something to get me to work and better on fuel, the Cadi gets 17mpg I drive 50/50 city/highway. I also own a 99 Dodge RAM 2500 4x4 with a V10 wich stands for 10mpg:headbang: but it is a working truck not for commuting.

I have owned a lot of cars (about 40) from beaters to newer cars like a Dodge Charger R/T (loved it) but I am impressed with this little car, I filled the tank and been driving all over the place and just hit 240 miles at a half tank, in my Cadi I would be looking for a gas station and dropping another $60. Its nice not having to go to the station every 4 to 5 days. I think I can make it two weeks on a tank.

2012 sedan is identical to 2011. Only the liftbacks were updated in 2012. For 2012 the sedans became a fleet sale only car, so that is why aftermarket accessories only list compatibility to 2011.

Glad this forum is here. I'm running into a problem though. I've searched the forums but havent found my answer. I swapped out my reverse lights and rear turn signal blinkers with no problem. I had to shave off the post of the turn signal bulbs (as read in a DIY forum) and they they worked fine. As soon as I went to my front headlight turn signals, I shaved a post, installed, then it kept blowing the fuse. Any ideas on whats going on here? I put the originall bulb back in and it works fine. So did I just blow my new LED bulb or is there a bigger problem?
Thx,
Mike

Hey Guys & Gals! Thank you for the warm welcomes. I'm happy to find this forum. Recently a few mice have nested in my A/C ducts. I took the car to Toyota and they said it would cost 1k to remove the dash and clean out the ducts and remove all the carpet nesting. I'm looking for a 2011 Service Repair Manual so I can figure out how to remove the interior dash and assembly to get to the units. Any help with this would be much appreciated!! Thank You!! Jeremy

I bought a late model car last year that sat in a field for 18 months.
I found mice, wasps, nests of who know whats.
The odor was unbearable.
First, power wash everything that you can reach. Including underneath the car and engine compartment, avoid the electronics.
Remove the cabin filter if there is one. Jam a vacuum tip in there. I made one very small from a cardboard tube and taped it to a shop vac.
Wash the carpeting with rug deodorizing rug cleaner. Leave a box of baking soda
in there for a day or two.
Spray Lysol into the ducts. Might take a few times.
If the weather allows keep the windows open for a day or two.
It took about three days to get the car acceptable. A week for all the stench to leave.
Good luck.
If you even think you still have mice, try some peppermint oil on a cotton
ball in a cup on the floor.

First post - just wanted to thank those who moderate this site and the many who post on all sorts of topics!

My old girl, a 2001 Subaru Forester was on it's way out so I started browsing cars. Was already looking at Yaris when I stumbled across this site. This site answered almost ALL of my questions and made the decision easy. Spent some time "breaking" in the new ride and then took her on her first trip to Ottawa this weekend... around 1000 km altogether. She was great, I love this car.

Thrilled with my new Yaris and can't wait to get the windows tinted and really make it my own. I have a couple of questions but will try to seek out the appropriate thread on here!

Cheers to all of you for putting together a great site for current and prospective buyers alike!

Now my Daughter's engaged so Thank God he supplied a job so we could pay for part of it and go to the destination wedding.

In the US the only models for the 2nd gen Yaris were the Yaris and Yaris S (appearance enhancements only). There were different packages which included such things as power windows and locks, larger washer capacity and PTC heater, etc, 60/40 split rear seat, etc.

Hi all!

I just traded my 6-cylinder, 2.8L 4-door VW Passat for a 2007 1.5L 4-Cyl 3-door Yaris.

While I admit that I was a bit apprehensive trading the Passat in, after driving the Yaris for more than a week, I'm glad I did. The gas mileage alone is impressive.

The other thing I was amazed at when I first saw the vehicle was the mileage it had: 21,350. I purchased it used this year (2015), meaning that the first owner barely put 3,000 miles on it per year. I couldn't pass it up, and after a short test drive, the girlfriend and I signed the paperwork.

I found this forum while I was in the dealer's lot while looking up info about the Yaris, and I was super excited to become a member. In the past, I was part of TacomaWorld.com and PassatWorld.com forums, and both were invaluable assets that I was happy to be a part of. I can only imagine wealth of knowledge available here. Heck, I spent 3 hours last night reading the Best/Worst Investments thread last night before signing up!

I was nearly as incredulous when the dealer told me the mileage. I had to see it myself and pull a Carfax to be sure it wasn't tampered with. It was definitely a selling point, but now that I've been driving it, I wouldn't change my mind if I was paid to!

Hi....!
Just bought a 2011 Yaris two door hatchback. I think I made a good decision. I'm in my mid seventies so age is catching up. This is my first post. I have a 1997 Subaru Impreza and a 2002 Focus wagon. The Focus needs a low oxygen sensor and the Subaru needs a new gas tank. I put $1700 into the Impreza last year and now it needs a gas tank! Another $1600! Has all new fuel, hydraulic and brake lines and rack and pinion. Runs great. Trying to decide on junking it or waiting until I can save enough to repair.
Does have rust as does the Ford. I'm in the Upper Peninsula where we get quite a bit of snow with lots of road salt and body rust damage. From what I've read block heaters aren't available for Toyota's. 30 below here isn't uncommon. Anyone know of a source for OEM batteries for the Yaris?Those I know last a long time! Speed limit up here is 55 mph. Having a heck of a timekeeping this frisky colt under 60. Hope to get cruise this week or next.

Hi everyone, new to Yaris World, i own a 2004 Yaris T-Sport, and I live in Reunion Island. Already had 3 mk1 yaris, 2 x 1.0l vvti and the last one the TSport 1.5l. It has a stock C56 gearbox that is very sporty (max speed 190km/h in 5th gear, should be around 120mph for you in US) The car is in good conditions, I'm building it slowly because I already have another car to finish first.
For the moment, I have energy suspension front sway bar bushings,rear trailing arms, and rolling with Valvoline 10w60 oil. Next is going to be the front trailing arm,braided steel brake lines, a high flow air filter etc. Next year planning on turbo it, rods/pistons/lsd/emanage/gt2554 etc. I'm aiming for a little 200hp at the wheels, aiming for torque because there are lots of hillclimb here :)

Hello from Ontario Canada, just purchased an 07 Sedan, 70k, automatic, air, !5" tires, windows locks. to replace our old Malibu as a second vehicle. So far it seems to be a great little car, a little "skittish" on the highway but I guess I need to get used to the short wheelbase, light car compared to the heavier old Malibu it replaced. Interestingly I went to the local dealer to cut a spare key (I have the two original remote keys) and was told it was $300 for a remote key or $100 for the non-remote, chipped key. Gave them the VIN too. I went to a local locksmith, he checked the key, no transponder, $7 for a nice padded replacement key. I called the dealer back and they said their parts lookup via VIN noted it was supposed to have an immobilizer. The $7 key works just fine, dealer parts guy is scratching his head.

I recently bought my used Yaris, originally sold new in April 2012. Took my wife to the local Toyota dealer as she wanted to get a new Aurion to replace our Holden (Chevy in the USA) Captiva. We had decided we needed to buy a second vehicle as well, so I took the Yaris for a test drive. Wow, what a fun car. it's the base model with the 1.3L VVT-i motor. In six weeks of ownership, I have driven the Aurion 3 times when going out as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Each time, I think to myself how much more I enjoy driving the Yaris.

I found this site, and the amount of info is amazing. CTScott is a legend for the knowledge he is sharing. I will be keeping my Yaris basically stock. Only mods so far are better headlight bulbs, LED reversing lights and a reversing camera. I'm waiting for the Cruise Control switch to arrive from overseas, as I am having trouble holding this little bundle of fun down to the speed limit...

Hello all!

Just finally joining in to participate and research. I couldn't get my last account to work and had no responses from the Admins, so here I am starting over.

I've followed the forum over the years, mostly lurking and reading about the Blitz/Ogura supercharger over the years for fun. I currently own (although it's sold when Spring snow in NY melts a k20z1 JRSC Ep3), and have moved onto a 2012 Scion iQ.

When I picked it up it had under 18,000 miles, Katzkin leather seats, aftermarket moonroof, added TRD wing, and foglights. Otherwise 100% stock.

I picked up the iQ since I now work from home, am married, and needed to get rid of the harsh riding civic and R32. Since my wife drives 45 minutes one way everyday and can't drive manual the iQ fits perfectly into our lives.

Having said all that, the mod bug bit and being on a very strict budget, I've started researching and trying to find little things to make me enjoy taking it through the mountains of PA where we currently reside. I've used a lot of older cast off spare parts from my Ep3 in the process.

Current items on the install list or already installed....

205/50/15 Advan Neova tires
15x7 35et Volk TE37 wheels
Razo 320mm broadway mirror
Razo pedal kit
DIY homemade 16mm rear swaybar
DIY CVT extension to bring up shift handle to my reach/height
Ancient Bride Zeta 2 shell rehopolstered and mounted to floor (I'm 6'4" and stock seat have no lateral support)
K&N filter
MI crank pulley (not installed)
1ZZ throttle body (not installed)
Tein H-Tech springs (not installed)
Repurposed turbo header (not installed, looking to see if it's a viable idea)

Hey everyone! I just bought my 07 blue Yaris 3dr hatchback a couple weeks ago and must say I love it! It's just a commuter for me but I really enjoy driving. I'm 6'3" so it's a little small but really for a small car it's very spacious. The wife will be using our Buick for around town so this is now my fun car. Planning on doing some mods to it in the next year or so and glad to find all the resources here in the forums.

I bought it with a bum clutch, just replaced that with an Exedy clutch and it's pure butter to drive now. Next up is to get a new sound system, then possibly exploring plasti-dipping the whole car. Going to be fun. Looking forward to posting about my projects once they are underway.

Its such a fun car, I really am diggin' the no-nonsense feel of it. I've had several Scions, including first & second gen xBs, iQs & xDs...
Being so light in weight, it takes just a few simple mods to double or even quadruple the fun. [emoji1]

I guess you already know it's very close to the ScionxD, and most add-ons are interchangeable.

Hi guys, new to these parts. I recently got a 2012 Yaris YRS that was my wife's until she updated to a new Forester.

Not sure what to do in terms of mods. Money will be tighter than a fish's clacker....

I'm from Sydney, Australia. Not sure if there much of a scene for the humble Yaris... I am from a V8 background mostly, not used to working on 4 cylinders, but willing to have a crack because it is still a car 👍👍

Been active on ClubFrontier, but now being married I have taken on the maintenance of my wife's 07 sedan and the forum has been a big help with common issues (any excuse to buy new tools!). Next steps, changing the struts/shocks and just bought new LCA's.

Question: When jacking the engine/tranny for the LCA bolts, can i do this without loosening the bolts for the motor mounts? Or do I need to remove or loosen the motor mounts? If so, all of them? Lower only? 2/3?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Yaris enthusiasts,

i'm new to the world of Yaris and surprised about the huge following this car has i would have never imagined.

I own a 2006 Yaris 4 door hatchback in bayou blue metallic with the 2SZ-FE engine. It's my first car and i took it over from my grandmother in summer 2016 with only 9.890 kilometers.

Currently stock and fun to drive in the twisties, but it it's on steelies and high off the ground like a bus, which needs to change.

I want to have a compromise between style, race and daily abilities in the future. So i guess i'll go with lightweight 16'' wheels and some sort of sporty tire. Also not sure which coilovers or lowering spring i'm going to put on it. There are so much more options than i thought.

If you have any wheels and coilover recommendations feel free to hit me up.

Hey Guys,

I hail from a small island in the Caribbean called 'Montserrat', I am new to the Yaris World! I ordered a 2006 vitz rs hatchback 5 speed manual from japan and it arrived last week Thursday here in Montserrat.

I would be clearing it from customs tomorrow and i am excited, I have posted some pictures of the rims i am going to put on it in the "Rims Thread" on the forum. I am no newbie to cars as i have previously owned a 93 honda civic dx d16, 07 honda accord cd7 h22a vtec & previously a 94 integra gsr B20 vtec. I decided to switch it up a bit obviously in make of vehicle and also engine size however i am thrilled to be apart of this community! and i am hoping for years of thrill, reliability and all around fun out of my Vitz!

over the years my focus on building my vitz would mainly be about looks and sound! not interested per say in making it fast as one the reasons i bought it is for reliability and economic purposes (minimum fill ups at the gas station).

As i customize the car to suit my taste and give it my flavour best believe i would be posting pictures in the respective threads according to what i am doing!

big up to the YARIS WORLD & COMMUNITY!!

Howdy. Let me start off by saying this is not my car. My girlfriend needed an inexpensive vehicle after getting a job out of town. After some searching, we came across a 5 speed '07 Yaris w/180k kilometers for $2500. Price seemed too good to pass up, so we bought it. Naturally, the car is not without its flaws. They are as follows:

1) It's loud. There is an exhaust leak somewhere, possibly flex pipe

2) Clutch is starting to go. Car needs to be given some throttle before letting it out, otherwise it'll shutter and stall. This'll force the clutch to spin upon engagement, which probably isn't the best thing.

3) Dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. Currently seeing the ABS light and SRS light. Sometimes the battery light comes on and flashes, but it always holds its charge and the alternator is producing power just fine.

4) Left flasher doesn't work. You can turn the stalk to the right and it'll work, hazards also work fine on all corners, but we're getting nothing signaling left. Swapped the underdash relay, that was not the problem.

5) Body isn't perfect. To be fair, this is not the car's fault. My gf gets a new scuff or scratch every week. It doesn't bother her nearly as much as it bothers me, but I thought I'd mention it anyways.

So that's it really. Car is not a garage queen by any means, but I really would like to get it running right for her. Any help or guidance doing so will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, cheers.
Donut gasket between header and cat pipe is likely shot. I just replaced mine that's been leaking for the past 60k miles getting worse as time went and lemme tell you, that gasket was toast! It just fell apart.

Donut gasket was my 2nd guess. If it were up to me, I'd buy a DC header/downpipe to fix it, but she'd prefer to reduce the noise rather than increase it lol. Can you please link me the part?
I just went into AutoZone and told them what I needed they had 1 in stock lol. I'm boosting mine soonish so I went with a cheap no name header since my stock one wasn't looking too hot. As far as how loud the header makes the exhaust idk bc I have a full 2.5" stainless catback I had built. I noticed a slight increase in tone volume but not a lot when I added the header but my car is far from quiet.

Welcome. I don't recall ever seeing a Yaris sedan in Berlin. I've seen plenty of hatchbacks though. Sedan must be a rarity.

We recently picked up 'new to us' 2006 Yaris RS. Loving this little car. My wife had an Echo for years and loved it. I'm doing some work on it which includes some body work (no rust, just dings), headlight restoration, an exhaust manifold and fixing the hatch lock.

I look forward to learning from all of you. And, I'll try to upload some pics.

Hi! :) My name is Tina. I am 50 year old hair stylist from SW FL and just purchased a 2015 Black Sand Yaris hatchback last night. I always wanted a car that's small and handles well, especially after trading in my beloved '95 Miata, "Cinderella". (sniff!!) She now lives in PA with a dentist that has her as a Spring/Summer garage queen, so I am happy she is living a very pampered second life as a classic car.

The car I had in the interim for only a year was a '04 Honda Civic coupe, because I needed something a little bigger and wanted a car that was a 5-speed. (I'm sorry...I don't drive automatic.) It got a little dinged up from going through Hurricane Irma. I just was not willing to put the $$ into it in order to keep it going while getting rid of the dings/dents/possible repaint. The thought of putting in a head gasket eventually and $pending money on a new tranny to fix the input shaft bearing issue was bothersome, both of which are costly weak spots in 7th gen Civics. The shaft bearing was beginning to make some noises. I hated the way the Civic handled and it always felt floaty in corners/bumps. Furthermore it had a squeaky belt that never got repaired properly. The tan interior was fugly. Good riddance. Friends don't let friends buy 7th gens.

I have seen and read so many negative reviews from "car people" about the Yaris outside of here and ignored every word. I discovered that each measly complaint is totally unwarranted. Car reviewers cannot be trusted and some of them just plain make me roll my eyes in disdain. Bottom line: The haters don't know what they are missing. This thing is a BLAST!!!I drove "Viking" home from Ft. Lauderdale on I-95 Southbound in very fast moving traffic at 10pm with constructions zones (I know....baptism by fire), and he did 80-85mph just fine, thankyouverymuch. I feel like I am a spoiled rotten, wealthy young Londoner buzzing down the side streets looking for a place to park in order to continue shopping/sip tea. I have always loved those really cool little European hatches, and now I have one.

As far as mods.... thinking about getting some red Sparco wheels from Tire Rack and a rear sway bar as well as a three point strut brace. Maybe a decent catback/exhaust. Not right away though...on down the line. The wheels will likely come first, because the stock wheel covers just don't do anything for me.

Sorry for the novel..thanks for reading! :D

Hello and welcome. Yep the Yaris is a great little car, don't mind the haters. I would recommend the TRD rear sway bar. It's a great mod for the car and we'll worth the money IMHO. The strut brace really doesn't do anything with this chassis as the struts are designed to "float'' . The brace will have nothing to brace against.

I like that you named your car. I have as well. I can only name cars that have a personality. And this one definitely does. Also find it interesting that your car is a boy. Mine is a girl. Maybe we're both crazy.

Back in my Miata days, naming a car was sort of a traditional thing, and this one just kind of shouted his moniker at me.

I am really digging the Sparco Trofeo wheels in red. [emoji16] Yeah....we are both crazy in a good way. [emoji854]

Hi all. I'm new here and ready to embarrass myself on the internet! I have a new-to-me '07 Yaris 4dr automatic hatchback in black after my trusty Crusty 99 Corolla's frame rusted through at just under 100k mi.

I've wanted a Yaris for a long time so I'm excited!

I'd really like to get it to sound a little more 'throaty' without doing anything major. Should I be looking at modifying the exhaust? Cold air intake? I'd like to be able to do the work myself - this is on a brutal budget.

For a throaty sound I modified the airbox (removed the tube and drilled some holes throughout the bottom section of the airbox) and used a drop-in k&n air filter. It sounds pretty good!

Trampledunderfoot
10-10-2017, 09:37 PM
Do you still have proper air filtering with that modification?

You do still have proper air filtering since the air still needs to go trough the filter. Don't drill any holes into the airbox behind the filter!
The only difference is that with removing the tube your engine will probably suck in more hot air rather than cold air.

Hello. I am new to the forum and looking to purchase a Toyota Yaris 2007 five speed. It is owned by one owner and has 150,000 miles. The car is in really good shape and well-maintained. My question is with 150,000 miles on it now how many more can I expect these cars to go. I live in the country so my mileage that I will put on it would be mostly highway. Thank you in advance!

Love that first part about your old Miata living a pampered life....those Miata guys/gals are a dedicated bunch. She'll look like a track car or some type of British classic in no time.:cool:

I recently added the TRD sway bar and highly recommend it.
