Toyota Yaris reliability

[junorico24]

Unbelievable!!

This car has so far done 12 hour trip and back, 5hour trip and back and today i took it to Dubbo 5 hours to and back with no dramas. I was thinking if this car breaks down here in the middle of no where with no signs of civilization or gas station. It just kept chugging a long. Impressive 7 years old and tough as nails.




Nothing is wrong with it except MY Brother reversed into it

The 'rotating wheel' on the Yahoo! homepage lists 'Top Cars Under 25K' as one of the panes to choose. Under that headline, the next line reads: Priced at just $16,020, one Japanese compact is the second highest rated by Consumer Reports. Top 10 picks (the 'Top 10 picks' is highlighted)

I wanted to see the results...so I clicked on the 'Top 10 picks' link.

The first line on the linked article is: '10 most reliable cars under $25,000'

I KNOW the Yaris is one of the 10 most reliable cars under $25,000', so I scrolled down to see the cars. No Yaris! So...I read the article. IMO, the key line is: 'To create a list of truly good cars, we also made sure the final roster only included those models that meet the criteria for a Consumer Reports recommendation, including performing well in our road tests and in safety tests conducted by the government and/or insurance institute'........:r olleyes:.....hubris much?

The title of the article should have been amended by adding 'from Consumer Reports pre-approved list'..... .

The $16,020 Japanese compact at #2 is the Fit. The only car that beat the Fit is the Scion xB.......see URL below. (For some reason it doesn't show up as a link. I tried to put it in the body of the post and this made the rest of the post disappear)

I copied & pasted the link, works fine -

Wow, Yahoo! & Consumer Reports

Consider the source (s)

Yahoo is complete trash & I wouldn't take Consumer Reports advise rating toothpicks, even if my life depended on it !!!

Real world experiences are the best way to determine if a particular product is right for you.

Indeed What a crock of

94,000 km , no repairs yet, only scheduled maintenance...change oil, spark plugs ect.

[Sir A.Y. Atoyot]

I've had the car now for going on 5 years - nearly 70,000 km - still no problems, and I mean "NO" problems - not even a burnt out light bulb. Knock on wood

We've updated our reliability stats for the Yaris to include owner experiences through June 30, 2013. (Another source is about 14 months behind.)

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010 Yaris: 10, low
2009 Yaris: 21, low, small sample size
2008 Yaris: 33, low
2007 Yaris: 21, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2008 Yaris: 69, < 1
2007 Yaris: 80, < 1

We'll have further updates in November and February.

I bought mine 2013 last week. But I did do a lot of home work about this model. Of what I read and seen and the reliability about this car is really good. Plus having my color isn't bad either! Saw a few custom things I like to do to mine. But for now, I'll leave it stock.

With all cars, even Toyotas, the simpler the car is the better its reliability scores tend to be.

Had two - 2009 and 2012.

The 2009 needed front-end alignment in the first 5000 miles - but beyond that, the only work it needed was after I hit a deer (25 mph; no airbag deploy). Got 75,000 miles on it and figured it had been abused enough that it was time to sell.

The 2012 so far has 16,000 miles on it...OLF service is the only work it's seen.

I'm sold on Toyotas - even if the newer Korean or, in the future, Chinese cars are cheaper, better-styled, even, superficially, better-designed. Deep within Toyota, they understand the value of obtaining and keeping a customer - with value delivered.

Unless you're skipping oil changes, 75k miles is early. These should remain reliable well past that point.

Sparkplug change interval on my ST1300 motorcycle is 8000 miles. I let them go 50,000 without ill effect. Saw an ST13 with 75,000 miles on them at a tech meet and it ran like a watch.

Not changing mine until the mpg drops or the engine doesnt run right.

[mkaresh]

We'll have updated stats again later this month.

Just a quick note now that additional participants would be very helpful, especially for 2009 and up. I'd like our information for the Yaris to be as comprehensive as that for the Honda Fit. Currently we have 311 owners signed up for the Yaris, vs. 756 for the Fit.
