Consumer Reports says the Yaris is the most reliable subcompact.

^^^^^ I know the 'finding' is for the 3rd Gen only, but we all know (and many love) that there isn't a huge difference overall .

It'd better be. The 1NZ-FE has been on the US market since 2000. The car is quite simple without sophisticated gearboxes, direct injection, turbos, etc.
Consider that a compliment and not a dig, by the way!

Only thing that has failed is the alternator. Body still close to showroom condition. If it wasn't for the fact that the paint on the front end appears to have received a couple rounds of buckshot, it would be showroom.

Yep! It's why I'm so happy. I've never had any trouble and my car gets more fun each and every day. It's like she loves to go fast! Amazing car really.

Saw this for sale on craigslist...a lot of miles for an 07 and I am sure it hasn't had too many issues. These are great cars. I believe the Yaris now, is what the Honda Civic used to be, before the Civic (and Honda in general) lost its way.

Even here a lot of EK and EG owners switched to Yarises but mostly sedans. |

I guess I missed the new trans part of the ad, but still, not too bad for that many miles, and kudos to you for not needing a new tranny

I agree, it looks good . Mine no longer looks as good after a recent accident . I found the listing particularly interesting because two members (yaris9876, and trini_per4mance) have gone well over 400,000 miles with their original transmissions. I can tell my transmission is worn enough, just by how it feels, that it probably wouldn't make it to 400k....and this begs the question....when would it give out?

Wish we could say the same for the '08 sedan we had . Do miss it . If they brought the sedan back we'd consider it . Think it has a different suspension . If so , what's the difference ? Better control arms ?

Do like this one in the U.A.E . A choice of a 1.3 ltr. engine or 1.5 ltr.. Must be nice . http://ymimg.b8cdn.com/uploads/car_m..._Side_View.jpg
