Wow! I'm shocked at what people consider "issues" with vehicles! Try owning a Chevy or two, and then you'll be rolling out the red carpet into your Yaris.
In the past 3 years, I've owned a Trailblazer, Avalanche, and Tahoe (totalled due to 17 y/o running stop sign), and had nothing but trouble with all 3. The Trailblazer had issues with the 4wd, steering shaft, and the bushing on the right rear control arm. After having it for four weeks and driving it for about 5 days (it was in the shop for a cumulative of 25 days) I returned it for an Avalanche.
I drove the Avalanche for ONE DAY, then it was in the shop for a front left spring issue that sounded like I was driving a 1970 Cadalliac down the road. The 4wd drive went out on that one too. After about 6 months I became disgusted with the Avalanche, and traded it in for a Tahoe. After having the Tahoe for 3 weeks, the intermediate steering shaft had to be replaced due to excessive clunking when turning the steering wheel. Then the transmission started slipping. I would be at a stop light, and then hit the gas. It would rev to like 2500 rpm then it would catch the gear.
Once I got my insurance check for the accident, I bought a Yaris and haven't looked back.
