Who had the highest mileage? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, I don't think my clutch will last as long as Trini's clutch. I bought some hiking boots when my Yaris had about 207,000 miles on it...great boots, but my driver side carpeted floor mat (the mats came with the car) developed a big hole in it, so I took that mat out of the car. I had experienced a very slight 'clunkiness' (I'm probably not describing this very well---it was especially noticeable when shifting into reverse) just about the entire time I've owned the car. I drove my Yaris about an hour after I took the floor mat out and the 'clunkiness' was gone and hasn't returned. I think it may be that pre mat removal the clutch wasn't engaging completely/properly. I now have 216,337 miles on my car and don't have any issues with the clutch or transmission (both original), but I can only wonder how having the mat there effected the life of the clutch and possibly the transmission. The mats on my car were a factory option included on the factory sticker, but given the nature of mats (ease of installation and removal) I wonder if Toyota allows fulfillment of this option at the discretion of the distributor by the dealer. This MIGHT allow for mats not designed by Toyota engineers to work specifically with Yari to be used in the car. I only saw new Yari with floor mats when I was shopping for my Yaris. I've never seen Yari being unloaded at a Toyota dealer to know if they already have the mats inside the cars at that point.
