212 Yaris owners now signed up. A very good start, but more are needed to provide precise results for all model years. Especially need more 2009s and 2010s.

2007 Sedan 85,000Km regular oil changes and maintenance--- no problems

Former_Neon · 02-08-2010, 07:00 PM

Since I've owned my 2007 Yaris Hatchback, I've had to get a speed sensor replaced and the alternator went last summer. Luckily, I have the extended warranty. Even so, I never expected two repairs like this in only two years of ownership. Not from Toyota.

I purchase my new 2009 Toyota Yaris Liftback, 5-speed manual (with the Power Package = DL, PW, and PM) about this time last year. Done regular oil-changes and maintenance. After nearly 1 year of ownership and 10.5k miles I have not experience any problems (not even a rattle) and the paint has held up moderately good with only a few BB size chips.

2007 S sedan...nothing but regular services. No complaints whatsoever.

Yaris has a mind on its own.It dodges the cars from left or right when changing lane w/o looking at the side mirrior and sometimes it speeds up on yellow light .3 sec before red, it saves my life so many times.

mkaresh · 03-12-2010, 01:28 PM

We have updated results for the Yaris to include owner experiences through December 31, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 16 participants, no repairs reported yet

2008: 8

2007: 22

All are very low, and much better than average.

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

In the case of the 2007 Yaris, the percentage with no repairs is about 88, and the percentage of lemons is less than one.

A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and provide all three stats for all model years. Especially need more 2009s and 2010s.

Yaris#2 · 03-14-2010, 08:27 AM

After 11,000 miles of driving, my only complaint on my 2008 2dr was that it had only two doors. So now I have a 2010 5dr and my only complaint is that the fuel gage starts blinking every 350/380 miles causing me to stop and get gas thus associating with people that drive six and eight cylinder monsters. Oh, and big rigs seem to enjoy pulling out in front of me. I'm thinking of mounting a couple rockets where the fog lamps would be if I had them. Any suggestions on what type would fit?

@ 48,777 on a 2007 the CD player won't work as i get 40+ a gallon on the highway.

08 3 door hatch. Mobil One oil and Toyota filters every 6-8K miles, 18K so far. 0 issues. I do add air to the tires 2x a year though, haha. Great ride, on to suspension upgrades..

2009 3 door hatchback with automatic. A year old now with 4000 miles and ZERO issues.

mkaresh · 04-14-2010, 10:05 AM

Recently enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May, with a preview for participants soon.

I drove my 2009 Yaris hatchback 5 speed off the lot in February 2009 with only 15 miles on it. I've run it up to around 10,500 and so far, no problems at all. All I have done are oil changes and patched one tire that was leaking. Almost all of my driving is stop and go city driving and in spite of that, I get 32MPG. Not bad I would say. I hope to have my Yaris for a long time to come.

202 miles, no problems! LoL ;D

bronsin · 05-19-2010, 07:19 PM

I dont remember ANY problems on the ECHO website when I bought my 2001. And its very common to see them now with 130k + miles and still running faithfully. The failures Im seeing now on this site for Yari didnt happen for ECHOs.

2009 hatch, 11,000 miles, no problems. :)
