My Yaris just turned 400,000 miles in 3yrs 6mths. - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kioshi · 02-17-2010, 05:17 PM

trini - welcome back with updates on you're car.

Congratz on 400,000 milestone. I love your sedan. And agreed...why replace if its not broken. I rather have the original part from japan still ticking in the car than be replaced unknowlingly by a refurbished part made in China or something~

Keep us updated, you're record always gives me a smile and gives me confidence in my car.

And guys, just give him time to post the video up..you guys are on here like hawks, geez haha

sure he has, thats why he has 400k miles on his car...and he cant get off the road 'cuase his steering is messed up......

........oh, wait, thats my corolla

(actually, ive had no troubles at all from my corolla)

Congratulations on the 400K mark! I have hope for mine. Mine is also a 2007 "S", Although, I have much less mileage...more like 36K. I spend too much time overseas doing the military thing.

No worries on the parts...ours are made in Japan.

I've never had any issues with my throttle sticking or anything for that matter, except for my alternator intermittently charging. But it was replaced immediately with an OEM one.

ever had any back problems cause of all that driving?

awesome reliability!

I also wonder how he handles the physical and mental demand of driving an a average of 13 hours a day, everyday.

can I haz maths ?

it is only 313 miles a day.

not a 13 hour drive. not by a longshot.

maybe 5 or 6 hours driving plus delivery time.

looks like normal 8 or 10 hour days to me.

What type of MPG are you getting with all that way highway driving?

Florida DOT hours of service rules say you can be on duty for 16 hours straight, with up to 12 hours of that spent driving. Then you must take a 10 hour reset. Then you are allowed to do it all over again. And you are allowed to be on duty up to 80 hours in an eight day period. In other words, legally, you could be on duty 16 hours a day for five days straight and still be legal, but you could only be driving for sixty hours of that.

Thus, the guy behind the wheel of the semi-truck that is behind you may be completely overworked and sleep deprived, so don't get too close.

He's averaged 9,524 miles per month or 476 miles per day (5 day work week).

Certainly more than 5-6 hours. You are correct in the 8-10 hours with stops.

I got the 13 hour a day figure from a response Trini... made himself on YouTube. Maybe he does that on really busy days, and less on others.

Not at all. I actually feel like Toyota designed the seats specifically for me. They are very comfortable and easy on my back, especially with 2 herniated discs in my lower back.

My worst city/hwy mileage is 36mpg. On the highway at 70mph is 44mpg.

Kal-El · 02-27-2010, 01:42 PM

So where's the video triniper4mance?

Not because I need to see it, but because the only way to share the news with others is with video proof.
