"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!

I have a 2007 Yaris hatchback and I've already got over 46,000 miles and I haven't had one single problem out of this car, and guess what, I don't hear any rattles and all of my speakers are still working just fine..

I have a 2003 Toyota Yaris, and it has no problems... PERIOD.

Had 29k when I bought it, it now has 53k. My next will be a Toyota.

Obviously most folks aren't aware that the Yaris actually made some "10 WORST" lists.

Toyota "quality"?? That's a laugh!!

Toyota quality is the gold standard by which all other cars should be measured. I find this review EXTREMELY hard to believe.

There are always one offs and there will always be the occasional lemon from a manufacturer, regardless of reputation or their quality standards. I know Toyota are excellent cars despite my only experience owning one - a 1991 Camry that was a piece of work. I know I'm in the minority though. It seems kind of silly to denounce an entire brand when you had a negative experience that very, very few others have reported (while everyone else raved).

I have an '07 Yaris with 60,000 miles. I rotate my tires and change my oil every 10,000 miles. I've had absolutely NO PROBLEMS. I've heard a lil rattle, but it's since gone away.

We had ours for a year and totally LOVE IT. I am very tall and it fits us just great. Its the most comfortable car we ever had! Just wondering now about the run-away problem, do Yaris have that problem? Hope not since I have one.

Also, I have a hatchback and there is ton of room for when we go car camping and also hauling people. But the gas mileage of 40 is wonderful.
