2008 Sedan with A/T purchased in September of 2007; 71k miles (about 25k miles a year); I drive it like I stole it; not a single repair yet. Just standard maintenance (tires, oil, air filter). The Yaris is amazing!

2008 Sedan (49K) and 2009 Sedan (20K)

Both rock solid with no complaints or issues what so ever.

2008 Hatch pushin' 85k (I drive 40 miles everyday to work). Only genereal maintenance with no major repairs of any kind. Running like a champ!

25k miles and the only problem I've had was a couple of battery replacements. Thought to have been a power drain caused by my Ecometer while car was parked. No more Ecometer and battery seems to be fine. Only time will tell. Other than that the car has been fine.

'08 Yaris, purchased in Fall of '07.

Just passed 47,000 miles. Water pump replaced the other day (covered under warranty).

Alternator needs replacing (to the tune of over $600).

CD player ALSO needs replacing (conks-out after 6 or 7 minutes of playing a CD, but player is no longer covered by warranty).

A good car, but these seem premature issues at 47,000 miles.

07 Yaris @ 36K miles only issue I had was the water pump going out at 33K miles and was replaced under warranty.

bigbang · 06-20-2010, 08:26 PM

2009 perfect car no problem 56,000 just scheduled maintenance

goliath1812 · 06-20-2010, 09:46 PM

2007 sedan M/T 65,000 miles. Water pump replaced a few weeks ago. Other than that, no problems.

Kal-El · 06-20-2010, 10:11 PM

What's the total cost of a water pump replacement?

Surprised to see a few reports on this. Hadn't heard that it was a possible issue.

it's a luck of the draw .

I really like my yaris its very well designed and off course the benefit of the little use of gas Its great but I’m pretty sure I got a lemon,

This happened to my 2007 Lift back, it has 57k

-front seats started with a creaking noise on the back of the seat, it was gradually wetting worst and worst, I took it to the dealer for the repair and they messed up the car really bad, This morons even installed the passenger side air pointing my side! After 8 months the dealer replaced 80% of the seats they worked fine for 6 months and I ended fixing it myself when the noise came back.

-I got the really nasty sulfur smell when I needed to push the Yaris Mid exhaust section got replaced –

-At 56k the Water pump started leaking, the warranty took care of it

-Around 54K the left axle seal started leaking and the warranty replaced it

-Sub frame assembly got unadjusted the car was making a hard noise when braking hard after got adjusted it’s been okay.

-The front suspension still makes some noise supposedly many yaris have some noise in the front suspension because some friction made on the springs it sounds like a dry ball joint, but everything looks ok so I’m not sure what could be the cause

-Every day I enjoy the stinky A/C smell unfortunately the bumper to bumper warranty was done when I found TSB that takes care of it

-The A/C drain got clogged due to lack of air filter not installed from factory, I did some cleaning on the airbox with peroxide and I was able to remove some of the mildew plus all the stuff from the trees, after that I installed a filter it’s been ok

-at 57k the gearbox just started leaking, the dealer already has it for me but I’m waiting to for the arbitration process to be over, if I need to keep the yaris I will have them put the new tranny.

I asked my service advisor if he could pull a report of how many days I was in the dealer for the repairs, (I never take it to service since I do it my own) The car has been in repairs and out of service for more than 84 days, for me that’s a lot of time trying to fix my lovely Yaris!!!

It seems to be a common issure with the Yaris :( but I bought a new one at Advance, I think it was around $30, and put it in.

$600 for a new alternator? Man that's crazy, you might find that a replacement should be half that at your local auto parts store if your bring your core.

I'm surprised it's not under warranty same as your water pump.

I haven't had to replace an alternator on the Yaris yet, but on any other car it's always taken less than an hour for me, and I'm admittedly really slow at that stuff :)

i hate to say this, but frankly i don't believe these "yaris owners" who claim a failed water pump. my reasoning is i read all 371 reviews for the 07 yaris on edmunds and not one mentioned this. yet we have many "yaris owners" popping up out of the woodwork all claiming this all of the sudden.

one dude has over 400,000 miles on his 07 yaris on the original water pump.
