Unbelievable.
I commonly see people who have gone through 2 brake jobs by now, sadly to say that they are typically American cars. At this pace, I will be over 300K before my first brake job.

Many factors for break wear. For the yaris, one of the most obvious is the weight of the vehicle vs. a heavy vehicle like a truck... expect the breaks to last longer on lighter vehicles....
& also the tires with less friction due to less weight will result in less wear = more miles before replacement is needed if using the same tire rubber material.
I just purchased a yaris & like seeing the length of time/mileage you obtained prior to servicing the items mentioned.
Another family car is the Pontiac Vibe = Matrix twin and it has over 70,000 miles without servicing brakes. The oem tires went 50,000 miles before replacing.
