We have some new pages that display all reported repairs by problem area:

2007 Toyota Yaris problem reports

From this page it's possible to select a different model year or specify a problem area.

mkaresh · 04-25-2011, 01:19 PM

We have updated results for the Yaris to include owner experiences through December 31, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since last April until the summer or even fall of this year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 7

2009: 19

2008: 14

2007: 18

All are very low, and much better than average.

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

In the case of the Yaris, the percentage with no repairs is about 88 for the 2007, and the percentage of lemons is less than one.

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and provide all three stats for all model years.

i don't know if this has been posted already...

i used to have an '07 yaris (got totalled 2 years ago)--it died at 167,500 miles... never had any problems at all... just changed fluids regularly and upgraded my suspension to Tein coilovers... i was due for my FIRST change of brakes before getting totalled haha..

i love these cars.. i don't mind getting another one

*edit: This Yaris has gone thru 2 REAL bad accidents... it was so bad, i had no clue why my insurance didn't total it the first time...

Just turned 30K. I had the front brake pads replaced as the car was sitting twice for over 6 months while I was uh, abroad. I change the oil/filter with Synthetic every 7000 miles and lube the door hinges and rotate the tires/general inspection as per the manual.

bronsin · 12-25-2011, 11:46 AM

Huh. Were the brake pads worn out? Ive never heard of changing the brake pads because a car isnt driven for long periods of time.

OK OK! I'll be honest! For the life of me I dont know why one would do that. As long as I got pad Im not changing them!

But maybe there is someting I dont know?

MUSKOKA800 · 12-25-2011, 12:34 PM

EPIC RELIABILITY according to the current Yaris ads running on Canadian TV.

joe keeney · 12-26-2011, 01:34 PM

Around 34000 no repairs run like the frist time. Its a grand slam better than Dennys.

Haha. At 121,000 repair free miles on mine, I'm beginning to believe that myself.

fnkngrv · 04-21-2012, 10:33 PM

I am a bit dismayed actually at the reliability of the motor. I mean really...why can't it handle 25+ psi of boost on stock internals?

Volcano · 04-22-2012, 04:07 PM

30000 km just as of today, no probs except the power lock. (Yaris '12 purchase Dec 1st 2011)
