How about a progressive video montage?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnTlNLz9Iqc This is through the first 400K. He reached that mark about a year and a half ago, then quit his driving job. We've been dealing with doubters for years, and it's been proven time and time again in many threads and even official news articles. Last edited by Kal-El; 11-13-2011 at 02:19 PM. |

lol.....lucky for me, no sores! I feel like the Yaris interior was designed with me in mind. I'm perfectly comfortable in it for long hours.

Checking the spark plugs every 50k miles, showed visible signs of wear. Plus, I noticed my fuel efficiency got a little better every time I changed them.

You know, you are probably going to break some record if you keep this car another 10 - 20 years. Easily go over a million....shoot for two or three million.

The money you've saved in gas over a normal 25mpg car has probably paid for the car...
You've given me motivation to try for extra high mileage on my 08 sedan, Usually i get rid of cars at the 200,000kms mark, this one will be going much further..

One of the reasons I bought the Yaris was because of its excellent MPG. I was using a 00 Mazda Protegé 1.6L Auto. The money I was saving by using the Yaris was enough to pay my monthly installments and insurance. I was saving about $900 a month by using the Yaris as opposed to the using Protegé.

And the fact that the Yaris sedan, in most dimensions, is larger than the Protoge' makes it all the more impressive.

Fantastic man! Your story has inspired me into getting a yaris as I put on a lot of km's every year with my work commute (not nearly as much as you but more than average) and I want something thats good on gas and very reliable.
I would just like to know if you did any fluid flushes as part of your regular maintenance, like transmission, coolant, brake..??? Any adjustments or inspections to the timing chain? thanks! |

Amazing!!! Just want to ask you one question: do you warm up the engine on your Yaris? I may seem to be paranoid, but I do that every time before I start driving, no matter what outside temperature is. I inherited this habit from my dad, though it's more important for the peace of my mind. So far I have 75000 miles with zero problems during those 6 years

450,000 miles @25 mpg = 18,000 gallons @ $3 gallon = $54,000
450,000 miles @40 mpg = 11,250 gallons @ $3 gallon = $33,750 a savings of nearly $20,000 This is why you want to do the math before buying a Prius! Last edited by bronsin; 12-07-2011 at 08:15 AM. |
