Running good, still getting around 35 mpg.
Problems: None other then a hood rattle that no one seems to be able to fix tried about ten places. I've just learned to live with it.

Done all required services, been pleased with car so far!

No problem so far, only routine maintenance (oil, transmission fluid and coolant change). Not even brake pads or tires. Once battery died about three years ago due to my fault but steel functions like new)

just hit 80k and sometime in the last 10k miles and that flap that is mentioned in some TSB in the neck to the fuel tank went bad so I am throwing a CEL for it.

Checking in for March and April:

March 1: 3,638
April 1: 3,727

On April first I finally filled my tank after not filling it up since December 26th!

So after 43 weeks of ownership, I've averaged out to: 87 miles/wk

Planning on at least a short road trip this month!

Someone we know has a little over 100,000 miles on their 2010 3 door . Used for their business . Very few problems . Has only replaced air filter twice that I'm aware of . I cleaned the original and later gave him a used air filter from our Yaris that was in better condition . Imagine it's still in use . Have to check it again . Gets oil changes every 4 > 5,000 miles at Toyota service center , so likely to be conventional .

^ Welcome!

And you change tires when the tread is even with the tread depth indicators on the tires.

i'd change out the oem tires as soon as you feel comfortable spending the cash. They're terrible.

Got that right . The Continental Pro Contact w/ Eco Plus made a big improvement in the ride , handling ( especially ran soaked roads ) , and noise level inside . Gas mileage remains about the same as with the Potenza RE 92s . Keep tires at 35 > 37 p.s.i..

Problem: Rear left wheel bearing starting to hum, no play on wheel when jacked up but spinning the wheel by hand reveals the unhappy bearing noise. It's an ABS model, sealed unit (what muppet designed this?). Have to price a replacement today from Toyota dealer, got a price from autoparts (generic) of €140 or so.

Yesterday I drove about 40 miles: 30 percent country roads at 55 and 70 percent on 4 lane highway at just under 60. Before I left home I reset my factory fuel gauge. I drove with an extremely light foot. I was pleasantly astounded when I checked my MPG gauge just before I exited the highway to discover that it had recorded 46 MPG.
