Excellent, fantastic, and super, super reliable
Nothing has ever gone wrong with these Toyotas. They are bulletproof engines.
Yaris, wow, what a very very extremely reliable car. It never ever let us down. The only thing we replaced were tyres, battery, shock absorbers, and anti roll bar links. And also the A/C condenser.

Amazing piece of engineering
Sadly - Nothing has gone wrong with the Yaris so far.
What can I say, this little car is amazing. Since I have owned it, nothing has gone wrong (I think that is typical of most Japanese cars). Performance for a 1.4 turbo diesel is amazing, it cruises at 80 - 90mph on motorways, returning incredible 60 - 70mpg, even on normal roads it still gives me 50 - 55 mpg.
I am very impressed and happy with it.

Best small car I have ever driven
Absolutely nothing mechanically.
One very slight fault of premature wear and tear on the front seat facings.
It's generally an excellent small car for day to day use. Comfortable seating along with a good driving position, with positive power steering as well as a fantastic 16v engine, all add up to a fun drive.

Disappointing
Mother Board blew on the radio.
Both speakers blew.
Brake light and head light blew.
Engine light came on.
Left passenger door has to be manually locked due to automatic locking failure.
Problem with steering, steering light came on.
Problem with fan belt.
Re-occurring problem with automatic windows.
All round electical problem.
Nice looking car.
Handles bends well. (when steering works)
Not very reliable.
Spacious inside.
Nippy little car.
Runs fairly well on petrol.

I believe your Yaris is European made...
Those made from the beggining of 2004 are much better. Mine is one of those and I'm satisfied.
There is no doubt that a lot of people don't like the fact the Yaris is a quirky reliable as a swiss watch vehicle, You are one of them. You talk about problems unheard of. Good luck with your next French car.
Wow that's the first time I hear of so many problems on a "Japanese" car, but I'm not shocked. No car manufacturer is exempt from reliability problem not even Toyota so for all of you out there bashing North American vehicles on reliability, here is living proof that perfection doesn't exist.
A car owner who lists things such as 2 bulbs blowing in 39000 miles as faults will never ever be happy with any car, excluding plastic ones that you pedal, of course.
Also, the drive belt problem was probably due to it needing replacing; again, not a problem, just normal servicing.
Speakers only blow when you have the music on at full blast for a long time, and this is also connected to the radio failure, maybe, but Toyota didn't make the radio.
North American vehicles can only dream of having the reliability of a Yaris.
Did you race that car? Never heard about blowing speakers on such radio unit, did you leak coffee on the radio? Your review sounds quite unrealistic. Steering light? What is that on a hydraulic power steering car. Seriously, had the same car with more miles and have not these issues. Even the light bulbs sound surprising. Or perhaps you got a flooded or crashed car.
Top class super mini
Nothing,
Excellent car to drive, reliable seems to be standard with Toyota. Good all round car, no negative comments.The cloth interior seems to collect all the bits of fluff etc,but have since changed the material on the new models.

It's a Toyota!
The door-rubbers are replaced because they crimped, it caused a lot of wind noise.
It's a very quick and small car, it uses not much gas and is not expensive in maintenance.

And also a few wheel bearings. That Yaris generation was the most reliable car; the next generation were less reliable.
