Oddly it looks like the warmer climate cars are losing their batteries earlier than the northern ones. Toyota must put far superior batteries in the cold climate bound cars.
My expectation is 5 years on an OEM battery. Most last longer but trouble is likely just around the next corner. Our 2003 Ford Escape (3.0 liter V6) still starts like a champ with the original battery. It's mileage is relatively low though at only 107,000 kl. (~66,000 miles). My Yaris will do that mileage in half the years.
