My daughter's water pump went out last summer on her 96 corolla. Fun times, Wash DC freeway. 260k. Threw belts like rubber bands off an orthodontic retainer. 1500 and back on the road.

The new Yaris may give attitude like that of the French castle scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail . " I fart in your general direction "
 . Here's the scene from the movie , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs , a classic ! . May encounter a whoopee cushion implanted in the drivers seat or one used for the driver side airbag .

Or insults come from the Yaris when you hit the horn to the vehicle in front of you . What do you think they would be ?

I Think the 4 door sedan probably still Will be made in Japan because it aint sold in Europe, but the 3 and 5 door is and they are made in france.
I Wouldnt Worry about that they are made in france the European sold have been that since 1 gen. And according to statistics its One of the most realiable Toyotas sold in Europe. And they have been making Cars in the uk since 93 when they introduced the first European made Toyota the carina E, corona in asia. There is still a lot of Them here in Denmark and the last ones Were made in 97, i have One its running like new its from 97 with 215000km on it, i guess its as solid as a Volvo amazon/121 |

I think the engines and transmissions are assembled by hand.
The individual parts like cylinder heads. block, etc crankshaft are probably built by computer controled machine tools. Id like to know why so many Yaris water pumps leak.  My sons 2000 ECHO with 191,000 miles (built 12/99) All origional except for 2 batteries, two sets of front brake pads, a set of sparkplugs, air filters, and a few other maintenance type things. The alternator bearings are starting to seize. But theyve been squeeking for two years now...

My water pump went at 30k miles also on my '08. I also check weekly for underhood pink spray marks.
My first new car had the shortest WP lifespan of all the cars I've owned... I had a French made Renault LeCar and loved that thing.

No the LeCar is known as the R5 in Europe. It was a hatchback like a Yaris. I think the alliance was us made by AMC. The Lecar was built in France.

The Alliance was a Chrysler joint venture with Renault. (Technically Chrysler, as they owned AMC at the time)

Didn't it have one of the best horsepower to weight ratios of any make or model (among new cars) during the years it was available?
