As of August 2026 I own a first generation yaris made in Japan in October 2000.
Living in sweden with snow and icy roads - coarse sand and salt :mad:
I was very surprised that this little green yaris had no rust whatsoever!

It has "only" rolled 130000 km. Finding a 26 year old car with no rust in a country were wintertires is mandatory 4 months of the year - I count myself lucky!

Maybe that will change after this winter as I've read that the rust protection on these cars are nothing to write home about. :iono: This car cannot have been used much or at all during the winter months.

I am eager to learn how to keep this car in this condition while using all year round. :help:
