Toyota Yaris reliability
I wanted more up-to-date auto reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to track cars closely as they age.
We've had very good participation by owners of the 2007 Yaris, so we're already providing results for this year. A larger sample size is always better, though, and we especially need more 2008s and 2009s. Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter. To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Yaris, free of charge. For the details, and to sign up to help out: Car reliability research Note: it's interesting to read everyone's responses in the thread, but we can only use data submitted through the survey process in our analysis.

It's just as helpful to have cars participating that have no problems, since I'm focusing on the repair rate. The survey only collects info on problems that happen after you sign up, with the exception of the first month, to minimize bias.
Still need more cars signed up to participate before I can start collecting data on the Yaris. |

Do the cars have to be stock?
I'll help out! |

What level of mods are we talking about? Intake, exhaust, and other things that just bump power by up to 25 horsepower don't concern me. An aftermarket turbo or supercharger would be another matter.

the CEL was going on and off when the cam sensor was failing. i took it in and they reset it to see if it would come back on. it finally did and i took it back and they put in the new stuff. it took a week to get parts though. as for noise, there was none that i noticed... |

CEL = check engine light. Though maybe you know this and are asking a different question.
31 signed up, but only 9 responses to the survey so far this month. No results at that level. |

No problem until now.
Just a clutch pump...

20,000 miles on my 2007 Yaris (that's 33,200 km, I believe), and nothing has been done besides scheduled maintenance. There is an occasional grind going into third gear, but it never does it at the dealership, so there's "no problem."
