Just about to turn 50,000 miles. Not a single problem!
This is the most trouble free car I've seen (I work at a dealer and have first hand experience with hundreds of cars and how they've stacked up). The Yaris trumps even the Corolla in trouble free operation (at least the last gen). |

Me to.I think the engine is so quiet and the lack of a tach dose not help.Ive stalled the Yaris out many more times than any other stick Ive owned.31300 miles no problems.

Only problems I had was when I replaced the header, and the stock A/F sensor was cross threaded, and I bought a replacement sensor from a place that didn't really know what the part was. Then the plugs went bad, and I had to replace the sensor AND the plugs. But now the car runs smooth, quick, and is very nice sounding.

159 Yarii signed up so far. A very good start considering it was only introduced to the U.S. market a few years ago. But more remain needed so we can provide everyone with the best possible information on these cars.
Especially need 2009s. For the details, and to sign up: Car reliability research |

We have updated results for the Yaris to include owner experiences through March. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2008: 6 2007: 18 Both are very low, and much better than average. A big thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years. Especially need more 2009s. Toyota Yaris reliability comparisons |

I change the oil every 4-4500, I think the manual is at 5k for an oil change. no problems here yet either- 20k on a 2007. and yes, I have almost-stalled like 5 times, especially at the beginning, and thought the car shut off. now I look straight at the dashboard for evidence-- I tried turning it on once it was already on, unbeknownst to me......UGHHHHHHHH haha, damn car is so quiet at idle, lol whoops

My last stick shift was a 1988 Ford Escort GT I got rid of 13 years ago and the 2 cars I've owned since then were automatic. I drove the Yaris off the ot in Feburary with only 15 miles on it and have run it up past 3,000, and the clutch has gotten easier and I've gotten used to it again. I occasionally still stall it out though, because I alternate between driving my car and my wife's, which is automatic, so I sometime forget, and I sometimes go for the clutch in her car and am surprised when it's not there. I've only had my 5spd Yaris Hatchback 4 months and 3,000 miles, but I will report if I have any problems. RedStickHam |

The Volvo 850 Turbo I traded off for my Yaris needed a LOT of work. Most troublesome car I've owned. They've got a really crappy dealer network, and tightly guard access to parts. I have a local independent guy who would fix it a lot more cheaply, but he had to finagle proprietary parts. The accursed Volvo dealer even took a radiator overflow tank that I had ordered myself through their parts department and used it on a car that another customer brought into their service department, and made me wait on a reorder! Hell will freeze over before I buy another Volvo.
