I am a bit dismayed actually at the reliability of the motor. I mean really...why can't it handle 25+ psi of boost on stock internals?

30K miles last weekend.. 0 engine problems, purchased Aug 2010. Autocross at least 10 times a year, and 2 track event. That is all day at a track doing high rpm's.
no issues, not even my water pump going bad.

We have updated our reliability stats for the Yaris to include owner experiences through June 30, 2012.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year: 2010: 14 2009: 7, small sample size 2008: 22 2007: 33 All are 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. For the years with enough data: 2008: 82, < 1 2007: 71, 3 We'll have further updates in November and February. With more owners involved, we could provide more precise information and provide all three stats for all model years. To see how competitors compare, and to sign up to help improve this information: Toyota Yaris reliability ratings and comparisons |

How interesting that of some 22,000 people who have read this post, only some 200 have actually had anything to say about it!

I'm guessing that 90% of the people are like me; zero problems with the car so far, but want to know what to expect for what COULD go wrong. I'm at about 100k miles (purchased at 42k) and have done nothing besides fluid changes and performance upgrades.

129,000 miles. Not a single problem. Still functions as if it was new. Never seen anything like it and I worked at a dealership where I drove thousands of used cars. None had held up like the "cheap" Yaris.
My original brake pads are still 50%. I'm on the original spark plugs - plan on changing them soon. |

+1 on the brakes and plugs. I swapped the plugs, just because, at 90k and am doing the brakes before winter fully hits, mostly as an excuse to upgrade some of the parts, not totally because they need it. AFAIK, the plugs and brakes are still from the factory.

This thread is pretty boring......my '08 is just like every other Toyota I've owned ('90 pickup bought new, worked hard for 245 K, zero problems. '89 All Trac 150K pd, 600 bucks and after 4 years of no problems sold it for 1K. More recently a '99 Rav 4 AWD with 150K that drives like new) and the Yaris shows every sign of continuing this trend. Simple, cheap to operate, and extremely reliable.

On my 3rd water pump. 120,000km. Does not like high rpm because it's the only time it leaks. If I drive hard once in a while I'll find a pink coolant line on the underside of the hood above the belt. When I drive normal is doesn't leak.
Only other thing was the weak factory clutch started slipping at 30,000km and was replaced with a Celica clutch under warranty. Water pumps were covered too. |

Interesting observation on the water pump. Odd that the clutch went so early, good to hear they covered it--this isn't common with a clutch. Something other than the lining?

Yeah, even before my clutch became 'high mileage' I'd heard (even though it can be hard to get used to) that the clutch in the Yaris would last a long time unless abused. Yarisworld member trini_per4mance got 448,000 miles out of his original clutch. Someone who works for Toyota told me (I don't know if this is true) that a contributing factor for long clutch life in the Yaris (and he was talking about the U.S.) is that it is the same clutch that is in the Scion tC and in the 4 cylinder Toyota Camry (for 2007 at least). If that is true, I wonder if Bluevitz-rs has the same stock clutch I do (possibly a less durable one?) as he has a 2005 and the Scion tC wasn't sold in Canada until 2010 (don't know about the Camry re Canada).

No the Echo clutches from '04-'05 were all soft. There were some problems with the pressure plate not clamping with enough pressure. I saw it when they took it out and it sill looked like brand new. Both the flywheel and the pressure plate still had the machining marks in them and was still shiny silver.
The Celica clutch is pretty much identical to the Echo except for a stiffer pressure plate. And it is possible the Yaris clutch is the same as the TC because it's different than the Echo's. I've seen a side by side comparison. |

53000 on my wifes 09, it's been to the dealer once right after we bought it for bubbles in the window tint, no mechanical problems at all. always use full synthetic oil and k&n air filter. best mpg was 43, average high 30's.
