I want to buy a Yaris, but some questions linger... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Easy access to oil filter, alternator, starter, battery, compressor. Part of the reason I bought this car was because I could reach these things. Oil changes are a breeze - you don't even have to jack the thing up! The maint. schedule reads "change oil and filter" over and over until you finally get to "change spark plugs" at some obscenely high mileage... don't waste your money on dealer service unless you really don't know the difference between a spark plug and a piston. I put the aftermarket cruise on mine... works on all years so far. Make sure you get the right one (auto or manual)... works fantastic. There seems to be a lot of aftermarket "bling" parts available for these things, if you are into that. You can download the entire factory service manual for free.

Oh? Where? I'd like to download it. I found a link to a copy for $20, but can't find a free link. Is it a legit download?

There is a zip file in post #98 by Alexnet0 which contains the complete manual in this thread I believe.
I have not downloaded it yet but that is what it appears to be. Nice guy to host it
