I honestly believe my pedal is affected. It is hard to push at times, and is weird.

Toyota is aware of the Yaris problem. the Matrix has the same problem. Toyota was more than happy to work with me on the Yaris issue and I have a case number assigned to the VIN.

thanks for the 5K problem, I got that solved by changing to AMSOIL 0W30 and a new filter and the reset procedure. Should be good for more than 5K miles on full synthetic oil and better the 45MPG we have been getting since it is ageing in a little more.

Toyota will get this fixed, they always do fix a problem. The local dealer leaves a little to be desired. The 800 # is great and after you listen to a long recording of all the makes and models you can actually get a human.

1-800-331-4331 is the number I was given to call and it is good for any Toyota model and issue.

BTW they were impressed with the near 400K miles on the Celica and near 200K miles on the Tacoma.

the first year I owned my car it had some funky electrical glitches, maybe within the first 6months - year: it had a hard time starting, turning the starter many times, turning the engine a few times, dash board lights flashed on and off and then the engine turned on and then off and then on again. that kind of thing happened twice so far. that second time i was like, oh crap and then waited a sec and then started to driver her off and she started to jump a bit (fuel cutoff?), flashing dashlights more and it played with the rev's. the whole thing was very strange and made it seem like some clunky console video game haha. since then, it's been straight and narrow and has not given me a problem yet. but that thought always sits in my head about how computer controlled this car really is.

Of course the HONDA salesperson told you your Toyota is worth less!

Any reason to low ball a person on their trade I say. Sell it private party or prepare to give it up for whole sale. And from everything I've read so far the cars with Japenese Denso parts are perfectly fine. Just some little connection wearing out prematurely from CTS-US built components in the floor pedal.

Actually, I am planning on sticking with my car a long time. That's the reason I bought a Toyota.

Twist...you went to buy a civic when you have an 09 Yaris? Yeah, the salesman thinks he's got an easy mark, I'm afraid. And "yes", your value will appear to suck on a 1-year old car. You are smack dab in the worst possible spot for depreciation. After a couple more years, your depreciation will level-off when many other cars continue to drop. Of course, the Yaris is an economy car at heart, and will never have high resale, other than compared to similar market vehicles. Even Mini Coopers and Prius' take a big hit at resale in the first 2 years, and they are high on the supply/demand curve.

Take a look at what Echo's are selling for in the US used market. I found that they were about a grand higher than most 2000-01 Econo-boxes (Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Chevy, Ford, etc.) In about 8-10 years, your Yaris will have good value because it will still run well and be reliable while much of the competition in this segment will be worth $1500-$2000. Yaris might be closer to $3K. You didn't really expect to get more than 75% of what you paid after a year, I hope.

Always plan on eating 40% of what you pay for a new car. The trick is to be 100% paid off by the time that 40% mark rolls around (usually about 3 years), then sell privately and reinvest in another car. With some cars you get lucky and get a little more for it, but the key is to pay it off in 3 years. That's the highest point on the resale curve, relative to cost and value.

Best idea of all, and most financially-sound. No car payment for 5 or 6 years after the loan is paid is super-sweet!

I've had to double stomp on the gas to get the car to downshift and increse speed a few times while merging into busy traffic.
Something like this would happen; Go to on ramp, floor it as you merge and.... NO response! Had to "restomp" to get things "back" again, kinda scary.... The car did'nt stall, it just did'nt rev any higher or downshift with the pedal floored......
Boy, I hope Toyota can get outta this mess and come out on top. I HATE hearing about this recall thing everytime I say I own a Toyota...

HONDA dealers don't like to give good trade ins or discounts . It's the car that sells itself . Thats why we buy TOYOTAs . More chance of a dealer discount and the TOYO rebates that go along with good trade in value . Otherwise we'd have a HONDA by now . Last , HONDA dealers act like they're doing you a favor or just ignore you when in their showroom or on the lot . Can't always judge a book by its cover .
