2008 Toyota Yaris 4 dr review from North America
"A piece of junk carrying a well recognized emblem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery dead on 18000
2 of speakers don't work
It rattles almost everywhere, and dealer does nothing for this!
General comments?
We regret we let the name Toyota cheat us! I didn't like the look of this car, and had found that panels in the middle were too stupid. However, my wife believed these were small issues regarding the performance of Toyota.
Now we've found the car really too poorly built. Handling is not great and the seats are awful. We're now just counting the days until our 4-year lease is over and we can switch to something else. Whatever, import or domestic, but a little more real car, and not a plastic noisy ugly toy!
