If you ran the OEM battery up until recently on your 07 then you did pretty well with it. Batteries generally of course are measured in years and not mileage unless you are driving close to 100k miles a year and even then....

Sorry to write back almost a year later, been a bit busy elsewhere. For 6 months through winter 09 the car sat with only a bit of driving around (family member). For 8 months of winter 2011, the same. I came back, begin driving it as normal (after a DIY syn oil and Toyota filter change), and the brakes were somewhat frozen, so I had the pads and rotors in the front replaced, it was sub-$200 so I really didn't care. Brakes work great btw. Car now has 42K miles on 'er. Runs sweet. Thinking to change the orig coolant and auto tranny fluid at some point.

We have updated our reliability stats for the Yaris to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year: 2010: 18 2009: 14, small sample size 2008: 26 2007: 33 All are 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. For the years with enough data: 2008: 77, < 1 2007: 76, 3 We'll have further updates in February and May. With more owners involved, we could provide more precise information and provide all three stats for all model years.

Replaced water pump once and that's it so far! :D Everything else is your typical general overall maintenance

I feel the same way about the clutch, other then that zero issue with my '08 I bought used 15 K ago. 78k on it now.
If I have the radio blaring, I often stall it, a loud radio and wearing big steel toed boots and that clutch is not a good combination. A small price to pay for everything else I love about it. I just need to pay a bit more attention starting off then other rigs is all. |

I too hate the clutch on my Yaris. Have stalled it a few times, but I am getting more used to it after a year of ownership. Rarely happens these days, but still a pain. Never had problems on my Honda's, or previous Toyota Tercel.
As far as the Yaris reliability: - Water pump replaced by previous owner under warranty. (mileage unknown) - New tires all around at 163,000 km. - ABS Sensor Problem repaired (both sides) under warranty at 172,000 km - OEM battery replaced at 173,000 km. Not too bad after 6.5 years. |

I think its not the clutch per se but the drive by wire throttle system. My cable actuated ECHO was flawless. In my (automatic) Yaris takeoffs require finesse.
I hate to think what driving a YAris with a clutch would be like. Although manuals rule!

Very interesting that the drive by wire effects automatics noticably as well.

My ECHO was a manual and the transmission shifted very smoothly. In fact when my legs and feet made shifting difficult I did a lot of shifting without the clutch whenever possible.
I sold the ECHO and bought a Yaris in order to get an automatic transmission because I figured if I kept shifting w/o the clutch I would ruin the transmission. But I often wonder if I had kept the ECHO would the trans have held up? I think the ECHO, for my purposes, was a better car other than the trans.

I liked my Echo better. The Yaris isn't bad, but the Echo was better (both manual transmission cars).
