I dont remember ANY problems on the ECHO website when I bought my 2001. And its very common to see them now with 130k + miles and still running faithfully. The failures Im seeing now on this site for Yari didnt happen for ECHOs.

2009 hatch, 11,000 miles, no problems. :)

2008 Sedan with A/T purchased in September of 2007; 71k miles (about 25k miles a year); I drive it like I stole it; not a single repair yet. Just standard maintenance (tires, oil, air filter). The Yaris is amazing!

2008 Sedan (49K) and 2009 Sedan (20K)

Both rock solid with no complaints or issues what so ever.

The 2010 Toyota Yaris reliability score of 7.0 out of 10 is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and the Initial Quality Study (IQS) The 2010 Toyota Yaris comes with a basic comprehensive warranty for three years or 36,000 miles, as well as powertrain coverage for the first five years or 60,000 miles. Corrosion protection is also offered for five years with unlimited mileage.

2008 Hatch pushin' 85k (I drive 40 miles everyday to work). Only genereal maintenance with no major repairs of any kind. Running like a champ!

birdman · 05-30-2010, 02:44 AM

25k miles and the only problem I've had was a couple of battery replacements. Thought to have been a power drain caused by my Ecometer while car was parked. No more Ecometer and battery seems to be fine. Only time will tell. Other than that the car has been fine.

'08 Yaris, purchased in Fall of '07.

Just passed 47,000 miles. Water pump replaced the other day (covered under warranty).

Alternator needs replacing (to the tune of over $600).

CD player ALSO needs replacing (conks-out after 6 or 7 minutes of playing a CD, but player is no longer covered by warranty).

A good car, but these seem premature issues at 47,000 miles.

Total BS.

07 Yaris @ 36K miles only issue I had was the water pump going out at 33K miles and was replaced under warranty.

rslyk · 06-26-2010, 04:58 AM

OTOWNYARIS....If you have not seen my post about the TSB EG048-07 you might consider looking at it. This TSB outline the replacement of the defective fuel tank
fillerneck cover....if the failure occurs outside your warranty period the canist/filter parts
cost is near $1000 from your pocket..... Check your VIN # and see if it applies to you...
it happened to me the FIRST time I took a 2 hour drive in a constant rain...

We have updated results for the Yaris to include owner experiences through March 31, 2010. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 20 participants, no repairs reported yet

2008: 7

2007: 20

All are very low, and much better than average.

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.

In the case of the Yaris, the percentage with no repairs is about 87 for the 2007 and 92 for the 2008, and the percentage of lemons is less than one for both years.

A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and provide all three stats for all model years. Especially need more 2009s and 2010s.

$600 for a new alternator? Man that's crazy, you might find that a replacement should be half that at your local auto parts store if your bring your core.

I'm surprised it's not under warranty same as your water pump.

I haven't had to replace an alternator on the Yaris yet, but on any other car it's always taken less than an hour for me, and I'm admittedly really slow at that stuff :)

PaddyMac · 06-20-2010, 08:46 PM

09 with 44K no problems

bigbang · 06-20-2010, 09:26 PM

2009 perfect car no problem 56,000 just scheduled maintenance

goliath1812 · 06-20-2010, 10:46 PM

2007 sedan M/T 65,000 miles. Water pump replaced a few weeks ago. Other than that, no problems.

Kal-El · 06-20-2010, 11:11 PM

What's the total cost of a water pump replacement?

Surprised to see a few reports on this. Hadn't heard that it was a possible issue.
