So far, nothing has gone wrong with the Yaris.

General Comments:

This car lacks imagination, styling, and performance marks!

Although it is a company vehicle, I regret accepting it from my boss. I would NEVER purchase one!

To be honest, I feel silly driving the Yaris because it screams... "I'm too cheap to drive a real car"!

If this is Toyota's attempt at producing economy on a shoestring budget, they've succeeded!

To much plastic, too noisy, and just plain BORING!!!

Only good thing, is that it sips the gasoline... if that's of any importance.

Nothing has gone wrong with the car so far. It runs smoothly, but the manual shift is harder to get used to than some other manual shifts I have driven.

The one thing I find somewhat annoying is having to open the window in the rain or snow if I have to adjust the side mirror. There is no way to adjust it from inside the vehicle.

So far I have put only 20,000 km more than when I bought it, so it hasn't really had a chance for defects to show up.

Even though it is a small vehicle, I have been able to move some fairly large items with the back seat flattened down. I have moved over forty 8' and 10' two by fours, and a 24" stacked washer dryer, among other things.

For the first 3 months that I drove it I consistently managed 740 km per tank (about 42 liters). Now I am getting about 640 km per tank. Perhaps my driving style has changed, or it needs a tune-up.

I am fairly happy with the gas mileage. I like the two interior push on lights. They are convenient, bright, and don't seem to drain the battery. Several times I have left them on all night and they didn't drain the battery.

It is a little tight to fit a family of 5 into, but still possible if they aren't too big. There is plenty of headroom for the driver, which I can't say for all little cars.

It is great for parking, since it is hardly much longer than a smart car, and handles very well.

Faults:

Some of the interior components are flimsy.

This car has excellent storage for a vehicle its size. The back seats fold flat easily, so I can put nearly anything I want in the back with no trouble. The back seat holds passengers comfortably, unlike other small cars. It's got plenty of cupholders, which are sturdy enough to have no problems spilling beverages.

The car feels a bit slow, but it's worth it when I'm getting at least 30 mpg consistently.

Nothing has gone wrong.

This car is great on gas mileage. I get an average of 39 miles per gallon, and I drive a mix of city, country roads, and highway.

It is small in size, but I didn't need anything roomy. It fits my husband, my son, my dog, and myself just fine. The back seats amazingly have plenty of leg room for an adult.

The fold down seats are a nice feature, so that you can fit larger items if need be. The only down side is they don't fold down completely flat.
