2001 Toyota Yaris SR from UK and Ireland - Comments

Brakes used to make noises when used at low speed, the dealer sorted this out within 1 week.

Paint work chips very easily. The dealer is looking in to this because of other reports of this problem.

Gear box can feel hard to use.

For a 1300 this car flys. Faster than most older 1600s.

Remote control central locking is very useful.

ABS works great in the dry, but can be unreliable in the wet or ice.

I have to agree fully with this review.

Our Yaris is a Luna, exactly the same spec as an SR, but without the alloy wheels. We bought it from a car supermarket. Apparently they import them from Ireland.

It is very nippy, economical, and roomy.

The local Toyota dealer couldn't be more helpful.

The only complaint I have is that I find the accelerator pedal far to light and quick-acting to drive smoothly. On the other hand, my wife really likes it!

After 6400 miles the average fuel consumption is 45.1 MPG, according to the LCD display.

I own a 1.3CDX Automatic model & again have to agree with the review.

I bought my car from a car supermarket (imported from a dealer in Holland) and have found the car nippy, but a little thirsty on fuel - probably due to the auto gearbox.

I have the brake noise problem, but it doesn't bother me that much & haven't had it looked into as yet. I did have a strange rattle from the rear, but the dealer couldn't locate it & it seems to have 'gone away' of it's own accord.

The paint scratching is a problem - I have stone chips on the bonnet (the car is less than 3 months old!!) and some kind person in a car park must've opened their door onto my drivers door & put a small dent/paint gouge in it.

I really like the car other than that, however I am still waiting for my warranty/service book to come from the car supermarket which is irritating & causes an issue with the main dealer.

I am in the process of buying a Yaris from a car supermarket that imports from from Belgium/Ireland. Have you had any problems getting UK based Toyota dealers to do work under the warranty? And did you get 3 years or 1 year?

I have a 1999 Toyota Yaris and have found it to be incredibly reliable. After this experience we purchased another one from a car supermarket to save a few £'s. I could not have been more foolish if I tried.

The complete lack of service from the supermarket was staggering. The car was also not anything like the standard of my first one. What a shame!

I will be buying my next one from a dealer if I can find a dealer who will take my import in part exchange. I'm not having much luck at the moment.

Anybody have any suggestions to dispose of my southern Irish import?
