That's a bummer, but as long as you and yours are safe you'll be able to enjoy finding a replacement Yaris!

My first car, before my Yaris was a Fiat Punto 1.2. It was a 3 door. I got it at 7 years old. 56,000 miles. I didn't get a year of decent motoring out of it. On several occasions it broke down and needed work doing to it. The last 2 months i had it in winter it broke down and refused to start on me 8 times and a few other times i just about barely got it going. No one. Not even the Fiat dealership could tell me what was wrong with it. They told me they could replace this, that and the other for a total of £1200 and there was no guarantee it would be fixed. The trauma of this experience is why i will never drive anything that isn't Toyota or Honda for as long as i live.

I know of plenty other people who have had similar problems with fiats. You might as well take your money and light it on fire. I sit next to an idiot in the office with a 500L 5 door he got brand new from the dealer. All i get is a tale of woe every week about how something else is broke. Water pump broke at 6000 miles. The engine guzzles oil at less than 20,000 miles.

If I was worried about style, I'd put Lexus badges on my Yaris. Instant respect from badge whores.

Hmmm... if I had a Lexus (that was a JDM Toyota), I'd rebadge it with the proper Toyota emblems.

My first Yaris had a Lexus exhaust tip. I hacksawed it off a bent Lexus muffler and had a friend weld it on. Added 14 hp and 500 units of prestige.
