After 2 years with my Yaris I have one complaint - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jambo, I'm 24 but this is car 10 for me. I've also had over a yearlong stint of only bicycling for transport. None of my cars were anything special other than that they were mine (all other 9 were cash too).

Seems to me that the purpose of an econobox is to be economical. The longer you have it, the more economical it is for the buyer.

Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but its not fast, and when trying to get good fuel mileage its downright boring. But again that is the purpose of the car. So in my mindset, it doesn't make sense to get bored with a car whose greatest overall purpose is to be boring.

Cant fault your logic NZ.
I would suggest some form of undercoating/oil spray treatment if you want to keep the car that long ..
