I see what the admin means by hacked...last response to this thread in May 2007.

Well, we'll have a new result for the Yaris in a couple of weeks. 131 ownes signed up so far. A very good start, but more would be better. Especially the new 2009.

I traded my 07 Yaris 3 month ago for a RAV4. In less then 2 years I put on 150,000km (94,000miles) of mostly in-city driving. Left rear abs sensor gave out at about 100,000km. They had to replace both the sensor and the harness since the connections were getting corroded. Otherwise, everything else was working well. Especially the engine which became quick from all the hard driving. Also, the brakes where still original and like new. The dealership wanted to machine em because they seemed glazed, but I told them not to, since braking power was still at 100%.

Interestingly, the cost of extended warranty for the RAV4 and the cost Yaris's extended warranty are the same. Go figure considering RAV4 is a 26k car with 4WD and traction control vs a Yaris which is half the price.

If I were in the market for a another Yaris (which is highly likely) I'd probably skip out on the ABS and also skip the extended warranty. Toyota really needs to address the under chassis wiring to handle our harsh Canadian winters???. Granted, the ABS/EDS on the Yaris is awsome, but I'm a old school driver and make do with a good set of winter rubber.

36,000 miles on mine, had no problems except squealing brakes which I get deglazed each time I do an oil change.

And to think that it is not too uncommon for people in luxury vehicles to have to visit their dealerships multiple times a year due to so many things breaking down!

That cord isn't meant to raise the seat.

It's been three months, so the Vehicle Reliability Survey results for the Toyota Yaris have been updated again.

Repair rates, in terms of successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year:

2007: 15, much better than average

2008: 11, much better than average

Very good participation by Sienna owners. That said, more would be even better. We especially need more 2008s and 2009s.

For the full set of results, and to sign up to help:

Probably normal.

Additional participants remain needed, especially for 2008+.

I did the same thing...the new replacement looks different, not like a handle to raise the back seat like the old one.

20000+ miles on hers with only 1 problem, her left steering column stick was faulty and made the high beams stay on. She drove a whole year with them on not knowing until I bought my 2008 and did a comparism. Did all my own scheduled maintenence and run 0w30. Nothing to report yet.

About 10000 on mine and have had 0 OEM problems, only real problem was a leak in my coolant hose cause by me cutting it to add a sensor for my gauge, fixed with sealant and haven't had a problem since. Also run 0w30 and have completed all scheduled maintenance on my own.

Tok sound is gone after the brakes were cleaned and lubricated :)
