How reliable is the Yaris?
Hi all! I just purchased a used 2007 Yaris 4 door hatchback about a month ago. It has 67,500Km (41,942 miles) and so far I'm loving it!
As a first time Toyota owner, I just want to get some feedback on reliability. I keep hearing how Toyotas are very reliable, but are there any significant problems with the Yaris that I should be concerned about? If anyone has ever had mechanical or other issues please post. Thanks! |

We have a member that has over 350,000 miles on his I believe and had no major issues up until just a little while ago. Not that he has a major issue, just a rather odd one. And yes, I did mean 350k. He was using it for his job which required hours upon hours on the road. I am at a loss for his avatar however if you even do a search in the forum for 100,000 oe 200,000 you should find his threads.

I want to say that member topped 400,000 miles now. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure. Crazy stuff!

I sold the 2007 with over 90K miles, and the car ran like new. Additionally, I had to change a worn out belt, the battery a second time, the wipers, and the tyres again. I would consider my 2007 to be a completely trouble free car... except the clear-coat paint was peeling. Now, my 2014 has over 60K miles. I've changed the battery, wipers, and tyres. The car runs like a champ. I love it every time I get behind the wheel. The 2014 is also proving to be trouble free. |

i haven't even needed to replace the original battery yet. Only thing I've needed to do was replace the tires, and i'm almost at 60k miles.
I did do the 10k services for a while when I had the extra cash, but that was simply because i could easily afford it.

i will tell you what i like about the yaris. i am on my second one. i had a 2007 and i was on a road tip on christmas eve 2007. well actually it was bout 2 am christmas morning. i was cruising about 75 mph on an interstate. when a deer jumped out of the ditch in front of me. There was absolutely no way i could have avoided it. i didn't even have time to hit the brakes. My fiance and dog were asleep in the passenger seat. both airbags went off.. and after spinning/sliding around multiple times. we stopped. noone was hurt. noone even got a bruise. the car was totaled but all the crumple zones works perfectly. this car a the usual rattles and squeaks of a cheap sub compact. but with toyota quality there are rarely any major issues. i love the gas mileage i get. and because it saved my family and me. i got a 2009 when cash for clunkers came about. i love this car for its affordability, reliability, and quality. when it comes down to it. its one of the best, cheapest cars on the road.
edit: the only casualty of that wreck was my cell phone.. the screen got cracked.. but the presents in the back never even got wrinkled wrapping! |

im pushing 48k miles on my 08 hatchback. i have no problems other than my short shifter kit squeaking once in a while. Im expecting to run this thing into the ground..... im estimating using it till 120k miles then ill get something else. A quick side note, i also crashed a sedan at 75 when i t-bonned a lady that ran a stopsign at an interstate thruway. I had cracked ribs but that was because ive cracked them before. My passenger was a ok and technically i was too so i would recommend this vehicle for new drivers for its safety.
