2002 T-sport 3-doors blue Yaris (EU model)

Plastic fantastic?

Latest milestone



So I did what I consider my first repair on my Yaris last month. This car is unbelievably well built to have just one thing go as of 160,000 miles. It was a rear wheel bearing.

The only other maintenance items I've done is...

-1 belt replacement
-1 battery replacement
- replaced spark plugs
- tail light bulbs
& of course oil and tires

Congrats ! My first repair was also a wheel bearing, but front not rear,,,,and yours lasted longer (replaced mine at 110k+). I almost made it to your new milestone with 1 repair, but my alternator crapped out at 159k+. No repairs since, though . My maintenance = pretty similar to yours except more batteries (Texas heat + 2 cheap (but did squeeze 136k out of the 2 of them) 1yr batteries...just replaced the 2nd one with the same one CTScott has (NAPA Legend)) and different bulbs (headlight and plate light bulbs), part of a bottle of coolant, and replacing the control arm bolts, + ? (= on this thread, or will be within a few days .

254,841 miles:
Oil+Filter Change/Battery Check(ok)/Other(brought in re driving a bit off and unsure if this was re the particular roads I was driving on (around Table Rock Lake in Missouri), or something more. Another Yarisworld member had a control arm bolt break that week, resulting in an accident. I was informed that one of the motor mounts was bad. I had a trusted local shop look at the car (after I returned to Texas....the shop above was in Springfield, Missouri) and the local shop said all the motor mounts = just fine. Once I reduced the tire pressure to Toyota Spec (IIRC, after returning to Texas), the symptoms disappeared. Date = 8/25/13.

255,698 miles:
Free Tire Rotation + Balancing at Firestone. Date = 8/28/13

266,503 miles:
18th Oil + Filter Change. Date = 11/1/13

267,865 miles:
Had local shop install control arm bolts I bought at Fred Haas Toyota. Bolts = 2 x $8.05 = $16.10 plus tax (big increase over the last time I checked that price). Labor to install these bolts at the local shop = $33.08. Date = 11/22/13

272,585 miles:
Firestone - Tire sealant I used on flat tire the night before invalidated the road hazard warranty. They gave me a pro rata discount on the new tire based on the remaining tread ($58.31 -- 40.31 for the tire with pro rata discount --$13.44 for new road hazard warranty--$4.44 tax). Date = 1/29/14

274,071 miles:
19th Oil + Filter Change. Took to Brake Check (a Texas chain). Included Battery Check (why I went there...and the battery was bad) and Wheel Alignment Check. Date = 2/20/14

Between 274,071 and 274,086 miles:
NAPA Legend Battery - $120.99 net = Battery + Core Deposit + Environmental Fee/Tax + Sales Tax.....MINUS Core Deposit and Sales Tax on Core Deposit when I handed them the old battery. This is the 4th Battery -- OEM Battery lasted 2 years 11+ months and 138,055 miles. 2nd Battery = Sears 'Cheapie' with 1 year guarantee -- lasted exactly 3 years to the day and 86,891 miles. 3rd Battery = Wal-Mart 'Cheapie' with 1 year guarantee (almost same price Sears battery was 3 years before) -- lasted 1 year 4 1/2 months and 49,140 miles. Date = 2/20/14

274,086 miles:
Had local shop install the NAPA Legend battery - $10.00 (Well worth it.....one cable was a b**** to remove from one of the posts on the old battery...and they sprayed the terminals after the install.....I didn't have to buy a can of spray). Date = 2/20/14

275,380 miles: TODAY -- 3/8/14 -- Driver's side headlight bulb just went out (I have Daytime Running Lights). Can't complain. OEM on driver's side lasted 138,111 miles, so the replacement lasted 137,269 miles. On the passenger side, the OEM bulb lasted 150,207 miles, and the replacement lasted 92,755 miles (replacement replaced at 242,962 miles).

I asked the guys at my local O Reilys to install my headlights. My hand is just too big to fit behind the driver side unit :-/

Same thing with the Toyota tech today in the service drive up, trying to reach that little clip...so he pulled the car inside foir a minute and took the headlight off. My hand is too big as well.

=O I change my air filter + cabin air filter every year! I could probably change my cabin air filter later, but I just don't want any smells in my air.

Expect 100,000 miles with zero problems. 200,000 miles with just a few repairs. And a few other maintenance items through 300,000.

Yes, Thank you - It still amazes me in regards to the mileage some people here have put on their Yaris' . Just had the 2nd freebie oil change yesterday morning at 6,524 miles, 1 year & 1 day since delivery. Was driving home and noticed the little next oil change due sticky, 11,524...It actually startled me (don't laugh at me Nook, I'm tellin' ya, DON'T laugh!) Oh yeah I'm thinking, 5,000 miles or 6 months....I'll have 11,500 on the ODO in a few years!
I am just so happy with this 'Lil Car, it makes complete sense to own.

I agree. I'm amazed that our little model doesn't have a wider following it the United States.

Toyota has been famous for this. We actually just buy filters for HVAC units for homes and cut them to fit, tape the cut edges, and install. Saves a lot of cash because you can get 4 filters out of 1. Plus you can get higher levels of filtration.

8/19/14 (yesterday) - 293,890 miles - 20th oil and filter change for my Bayou Blue 2007 L.

[Yaristeve]

2011, 3dr hatch, 5-speed, 106k miles.

A/C fan is a little louder and the cup holders buzz a tiny bit if they are open but no drinks in them.

Have done nothing but changed oil (Castrol GTX) every 3k then 4k miles, replaced air filter once, and 1 set of tires which need to be replaced soon.

This is only my second FWD car and I just noticed that these things go through front tires! After "only" 45k miles, the fronts are almost at the wear bars but the rears have a lot of tread left (look new). I guess I should rotate tires every now and then...

The only "mods" are tinted windows, Tanabe Medalion Touring, and Scion wheels.
