2007 Yaris S
Flint Mica
64000 miles
- Replaced tires @ 43k miles
- Replaced stock front rotors and pads @ 64k miles with premium rotors and pads
(Rotors started to rust along the edge and scored my brake pads)
- I feel the body/paint is too cheap to handle highway conditions.
- Yaris needs lubrication on bushings/steering to have a quiet ride
- May decide to replace stock struts
- Stock rims too cheap/warp/dent easily. Replaced all 4 @ 50k miles
- Steering rack has some noise, not ready for replacement yet.

5 months and 20,000 miles

just shy of 50,000 miles now, couple of syn oil changes, replacing air filter, changed plugs (no difference), still have a low idle stumble every once and a while. just rotated tires and checked brakes front/rear. finally got a ultragauge- the lack of gauges in the base model leaves mea bit worried. have it set up for instant mpg, average mpg, tach, water temp, voltage, and miles till empty- going to see if i can find oil pressure though

been a little while, had to jump on and order some stuff from Garm(microimage)
brakes are getting a little noisy, passenger side pad, although still having more then 50% material left, looks like it has some stress cracking and pedal feel sucks - ordered new rotors and pads, going to flush all the fluid out as well

for future use:
11/5/11 @ 32,500 (purchased shortly before)
4/12/12 @ 50,000
3/15/14 @ 123,494

4/12/12 @ 50,000
3/15/14 @ 123,494
124,818 front pads/rotors and brake fluid
pads still had plenty of material, honestly think I could have gone 200k miles with oem pads- they were just breaking away from the steel backing maybe not broke in properly?
discs could have been reused/turned and reused for sure but I wasn't positive what was causing brake shake so I ordered some r1 rotors and hawk pads from micro image.

rear brakes I changed awhile ago, upon the advice of tire dick around 100k miles . I looked at them before and they didn't have much material... when he mentioned it I figured mileage had been plenty for oem to change anyway. Went ahead and ordered new ones, made the time to change em, pulled the drum off and realized they just don't have much material on them to begin with. But I had new shoes and the time to do it.
btw they quoted me almost 300bux to service rear brakes, so check em yourself they only have maybe 1/8"-3/16" of material

Jumped on to see if we needed to be worried bout airbag recall
I see a few more high mileage cars have come around
No issues since last check in, and I get the cup holder buzz, without the cabin filter I also get stuff down in the HVAC blower wheel too

2007 Yaris Liftback
Blazing Blue Metallic
80,000 miles

2 new sets of tires (both Yokohama ~30,000 & ~60,000)
New brakes last summer (~60,000 miles)
Replaced driver window seal
Nothing other than routine oil changes, etc.

It has started running loud...a friend mentioned maybe the muffler might be bad. Hopefully it's nothing major.
