I call bullshit. My brother-in-law has 235000 miles on his Yaris and it still runs perfectly. Transmission, engine -- everything -- original. No problems whatsoever. Reliable little car. Good on fuel economy, too.
I bought a 2008 Toyota Yaris Toyota Certified with 60,000 miles now it has a hundred twenty thousand miles and nothing ever has went wrong with it. on the other hand my wife had a 2007 Acura TSX 80,000 miles and the engine was burning more oil than gas I will never buy a Honda or an Acura ever again. Toyota is king of reliability. Other cars may be more flashy but if you want a car that never leave you stranded your best bet is a Toyota
So true!I have a 2002 Yaris for over 10 yrs now and it's never let me down.In 10 yrs all i've replaced was front pads £26 (sale) mid & back exhaust £72 and 2x aux belts £86 by a garage.Does 47mpg best on motorway and city 32mpg.So cheap to fix and replace the parts plus most things are so easy to replace.
My 07 has 180K and same thing. Nothing has went wrong with the car. I put new shocks on it, which was no big deal considering the much better ride. The original shocks lasted 13 YEARS without being broken or leaking shock oil,.
A couple years ago, I bought a brand new 2015 Yaris. Same engine and trans. I am not to sure about any of the negative comments in this CZcams review, does not resonate with what I have heard and seen.The Yaris is a great little car. You do need to keep in mind that its an economy car. Comfortable seats, good dash and controls layout. Feels tight well built and handles well. Decent gas mileage, a blast to drive in town or out on the open road.Also the utility of a hatch so you can load it up pretty good.I don't want to forget the most important part, they are built to last ! Cheers
I've had mine since 2007 and this car is amazing. it never breaks down. i have 85000 miles on it and it still works great. the only time i got a engine check light was when i broke the mass air flow sensor when i was taking the battery out and that was my fault lol. great car for the price.
What's going on with this clown? I own a 3 door 2007 Yaris since 2009. At the moment it has over 336,000 original miles with no mechanical issues whatsoever.... This little import is meant to drive from point A to point B. No need for a daily V-8 or even a V-6 for transportation in CA.
This and the same generation of Honda Fit are the best cars money can buy. Comfortable, cheap to run, cheap to fix(and they don't break either), drive well, mpg is great... space, storage and practicality are great, they are easy to park, insurance is low...
I test drove the Scion XD, the Honda Fit and the 2 dr 2008 Yaris hatchback and I preferred the driving feel of the Yaris the best. 12 years later it still drives like new. With an estimated 25 year lifespan for the Yaris I look forward to many more years of satisfied ownership. I have averaged 34 mpg.
It's a great point A to B car. Mines an automatic and I get avg 36-38 MPG every week. Simple, RELIABLE, solid and relatively comfortable. I agree on the steering wheel, I wished it telescoped. But I got mine with only12K on the clock for $7250 out the door - I can live with it !
You got a good deal! I paid a few hundred more and got one with 7800 miles...not a mis-print Less than 8000! I know its a premium price for a low mileage older model...I don't care...I put 8-10K a year on...and will take me 20 years to hit 170K...Consumer Reports is Stupid when it comes to this CRAP...I mean in the early 80s they BRAGGED how great the Toyota Starlet was...(Cheap Basic Transportation - Just Like Yaris!) Seems now if its not some fully loaded BMW or Some $50K car (that usually has too much electronic shit that breaks anyway) its just "Too Cheap" to recommend...this world has gotten to the point that they think even cheap cars need "Fancy Shit" mine has Power Pkg...(Pwr windows/locks/mirrors)...That's More than "Fancy" for me...as my F150 I bought NEW had, Manual Locks/Mirrors/CRANK WINDOWS!
I've had my hatchback for 7 years and it never has a problem. Some owners have well over half a million miles without having any major issues. The center dash speedometer like in the Mini Cooper is part of the Yaris's appeal. The center speedometer isn't at all inconveniently placed when you consider that the cars side mirrors are much further out of the line of sight and I look at them often while driving and think nothing of it. If the speedometer location really bothers some people then looking all the way over at the side mirrors on any car must feel truly terrifying! For those challenged individuals it's probably far safer to take a bus. Incidentally the VW Golf's fit and finish is far superior to the Yaris but their reliability ratings are far lower. For me I look at the road rather than the fit and finish of my cars interior, but for those who prefer fit and finish over reliability at least they'll have something to admire while they wait for the tow truck.
I love driving my Yaris... I have had it for little lessthan a year and it is amazing!!! I find it actually goes kinda fast for a lil car.... hoever I did pimp mine out abit to make it look even kooler!!! For a small car I would stick to the Yaris!!!
who do they do these reviews for????? I LOVE the Yaris. I test drove the 2011 5 door liftback it was great i was shocked at the peppyness of the engine and the acceleration. I took it on the hwy and merged on with no problems comfortably doing 65-70... of course its a little loud but once you get on its fine its a great car and i find it to be quite spacious maybe thats me i am a little short but my dad whom is 5ft 10 fit in the backseat just fine... THE YARIS IS AWSOME!!!!! I will be getting it
Yeah I remember when that was considered Snappy! (because I am OLD...my parents had a Diesel Escort 5-speed, 52HP and 0-60 in a weekend...but it also got 50mpg too!)
i dont agree with this guy i have yaris 5 door hatch its perfect i had it for 2 years i done like over 75.000kms on it not one problem with the car i love it .
I have the two door hatchback version and it's awesome, The seats are very comfortable and tons of room. They must have cut space for the four door. I have driven the Honda fit and it is nothing compared to the Yaris.
I have Two 2010 3dr Hatchback Yaris, and I have driven the (don't) Fit...I bought these cars specifically because the 1NZ-FE engine has a timing chain instead of a belt, and had been on the market long enough to work out bugs..and came as (2) 3Door Hatch....makes them far easier to get into.
Yaris has always got flak for handling but it's a city car and i love my 2002 auto and had it for over 10yrs.All i've replaced was front pads £26 (sale) mid & back exhaust £72 and 2x aux belts £86 by a garage in 10 yrs of ownership.I keep on top of the servicing,cleaned the MAF,PCV and throttle body.ATF done twice in those 10 yrs and it drives smooth as silk,pulls like a train for a 1.3L auto with the best of 47mpg.Never had any issues and the engine is quiet as a church mouse.
I bought mine use with 98,000 miles now I put 108,000. And let me tell you it drives like a New car.I commute to UCSD three days a week goes up Mountain hills and down far and she just wants to go like a bat out of hell.I love my Yaris.My 🐕 loves it to.My sons tall he even puts a seat cushion for passenger side and does his homework are sleeps while I do the driving.I feel like I'm floating on air And the Gas is excellent.Buy one you won't be disappointed.
I have a 2007 4 door Yaris sedan, I never considered seeing if I had extra glove boxes but I don’t think I do. It has a fair amount of space in the trunk. It has height adjustment on driver seat. I don’t think the back seats recline seeing as how it is a sedan not a hatchback.
Current Yaris owner here, 2009 2dr Auto, 152k and averaging 29mpg driving moderately aggressive, like to rev it, and in Houston roads, a bit of highway but not much 20 mile commute to and from work. feels snappy, handling isnt the best, but it can technically make you a better driver if you practice getting around its flaws, driving swifty and what not instead of balls to the wall. I do need better tires and suspect bearings need changing, add to that my lead foot but i am sure i could average 37 if i grandma it.
What exactly makes it a terrible car? Its not suppose to be a sporty car. Would be nice but it isn't. I don't find it any worse on bumps than any other average car. Its average comfort. It should have telescoping steering wheel. But its reliable. Its great on gas. Its durable. Engine and trans are proven to be Reliable so what's the problem?
I get 37 all the time with summer tires...just took my First 2010 "Blue" to pick up our Second 2010 Yaris "Yellow" (Both 3dr Autos) on the way to Indiana from MN I got 38.9 and on the way back my wife got 34.2 with "Blue" and I got 36.3 with "Yellow"...she had snow tires on hers, and that subtracts 2mpg easy, and on way back fighting prevailing west wind. My brother in law took "Blue" to Florida 7 years ago...total trip average 38mpg and he drives 75-80! (35mpg EPA is very under rated!)
My 2011 Yaris does have seats that can be adjusted in height, tilt the steering wheel, have chrome door handles, nice doors at the inside and nice finish! So much can change in 1 year ;-)
I bought one with 150k miles, after test driving one with over 350k Miles. The engine on the 350k was still running smooth and quite, the transmission was great and shifted fine. That's like proven reliability that your seeing and actually driving. And they don't have all the computer ran junk that goes out on the newer cars, and costs big bucks to repair. And this one with that high of miles still had no codes on the scan tool!! The owner said all he had to do was change the engine oil at 5K and the trans oil at every 50k, which both are cheap and easy to do. They are great cars for being simple, reliable, and not crammed with all the electrical, especially the GPS tracking BS, the remote take over of your car possibility, the spying and record everything you say. That's in all the newer cars now. Get a 2007 Yaris or any of the Echos, they have none of that and can last for years. They both have the highest gas mileage too.
My sister had one of these absolutely abuse and it did over 180, 000 miles. It was bulletproof. Yes the interior doesn't look as good as others car brands and it doesn't look flashy or in face type of car. But if your not a person who wants show off a car and wants a sensible car that has reliability this is well worth it
My wife have one its faster than my 1.6 VW MK4 . Our 2007 Yaris the steering telescopes and also seat comes up...If you put it all the way up and are taller than 5ft 10 and your head will be touching the liner. Its a great car.. very easy to service and very low maintenance. 92K miles and never a problem.
I bought new a 2010 3dr Hatchback AT Yaris, we have put 130,000 miles on it (30K the first year as a commuter car) but the only repair has been a water pump. (Big Deal $300 Parts and Labor), when I commuted I drove 80%/20% 75mph Fwy / 55mph back roads home in MN. I would 37 MPG all summer long on Goodyear Eagle LS tires, and 32 MPG in winter on General Altimax Arctic, due to the sticky tires and colder weather. For me the Fit didn't "Fit" as it does not come in the far more comfortable 3-Door. (The 1NZ-FE engine, U340E Auto, are not the MPG leaders anymore, and won't be returning for 2019 but they were some of the most reliable dollar to value cars out there, hopefully I can pick up some nice used ones to buzz around in, into the future.)
Still have my old echo and the 07 Yaris. Both are great cars that also aren't loaded up with all the electrical BS and junk that breaks on the new cars.
@John Scott re center speedometer - very ill placed - expecting a speeding citation on freeway after 2-1-2014 purchase. Very distracting & dangerous having to look to the right of center to check one's speed. Thinking of getting a GPS that show speed.
This reviewer has no idea what he's talking about; who needs gas-guzzling SUV's or fancy luxury cars with leather interiors ?; my little 2007 Yaris Hatchback (bought new in 2007) is still going strong in 2020 at 108k miles; ride is smooth and I love the centrally-placed gauges; I'm 6'2" with plenty of head and leg room; this reviewer needs to go back to his Lexus or SVU and stop calling this a "cheap car"; Toyota sells millions of these in Europe and Asia.
I bought mine ( a 2010) to replace a 98 Corolla that died on me and this Yaris is better in just about everything except ride qualityThe Corolla was a bit smoother and more forgiving on bad roads.
This is the second time i bought a toyota vitz my first was a second hand 1999 vitz 1000cc motor you have no idea how far that car could travel it may not be fast but it did the job for me after that i own a 2011 vitz RS now 1.5 liter and it has plenty of legroom at the back a little bit more then the 2008 second gen also more trunk space i'm happy i choose the vitz instead of a honda fit. The 3rd gen RS also looks way better then the honda fit imo.
This Consumer Reports guy from goodness know what decade just committed HERESY against the humble but ultra reliable, cheeky little big Toyota Yaris - it’s a 21st century space pod on wheels! Just bought a 70k miles 2011, VVTi 1.33L, TR MMT 6-Speed Auto. Euro 5 engine rating, sips fuel, ULEZ compliant, £30 annual road tax in the UK. Expecting to get another 15 years out of it…!!! 😊
I'm looking at these now in 2022 because I'm sick of my 2012 ford focus that only has 81,000 kilometers and so far, the steering rack failed, then heater core failed needing the entire dash to be removed after that cam shaft position sensor failed and now water is leaking into the back hatch area flooding out the spare wheel compartment.....I don't want to know what will fail next and I want a cheap simple and reliable car that doesn't have a problem every 5 minutes.
The yaris is slow, will feel cheap to some people, doesn't handle as well as the competition, isn't as versatile as the fit. But who cares? People don't buy a yaris to sip wine on the way to their private jet. They drive it because it's cheap and reliable. People that buy these cars expect tough reliability which really on Toyota has these days, Honda is a great second choice and the fit is a "better" car when you look at it from a review view, but when you look at what is important in this segment it's a draw... if you need versatility and sportiness the fit is the choice... if you need cheap reliable transportation the yaris is the choice.
How the fuck do i reset the fm radio stations? I just got this car and the stations wont go past like 90.1 or something. How do i get the rest of them?
does anyone know is cruise control is offered in sports package?...i bought sports package but didnt see cruise control... was told it is available as an add on option...your reply would be appreciated
Press and hold the tiny button in front of the clock until the "minutes" side starts flashing. While it is flashing click the button repeatedly until the minutes are corrected then wait until the hour side starts flashing and click on the button until the hour is corrected then don't touch the button again. Soon the blinking will stop and the clock is reset.
Ginja Man: I just picked up my second 2010 3dr hatch...problems? No, not really...But - You want to get a 2009 or newer ABS is standard, along with the side curtain air bags...the 2010 and newer have a stability and traction control system that makes them nice in snowy parts of the country. My "Old 2010" has 135,000 on it, and its my wife's car...the only 2 things that were not routine maintenance were: Heater Fan started making a funny noise so I replaced it $75...and at 120K the water pump started to make noise...I had a local shop fix it...(I have fat hands and its tight in there)...cost $300...But I have done all the other maintenance myself...Oil Changes, Brakes, Spark Plugs, Air Filters, BTW this car is extremely simple. Get on YarisWorld.com and there is a TON of information on these cars. My New 2010 I have only had a week, it only has 8500 miles...its barely on 2nd oil change!
@@gringoenespanol I live in a place where it is snow and ice half the year, I will not own a car without ABS or Traction Control...And the Side Curtain Airbags are nice when someone without ABS slides thru the intersection and T-Bones you...as happened to my friend yesterday. Luckily his Mitsubishi had Side Curtain Bags...The Stability System is pretty cool on these things too...I hit some slush making the car hydroplane and slide sideways at 30mph and the car applied the brakes and took me out of the spin before I even had the chance to react. I would likely would have been upside down in the ditch had it not done its thing...I used to be just like you...I drove 70s-80s simple vehicles and white knuckled all winter long...now I put the snow tires on in the fall and drive with confidence. Technology is awesome.
I have a 2008 model, and I agree on some points, and disagree on others. I agree that the handling is poor. It feels darty, always requiring steering correction, and body roll is excessive. But I disagree about acceleration---from 0-60 I think it's quite spritely, and I have to make a conscious effort to back off the throttle so as not to get a ticket. But at highway speeds, it's definitely not as responsive as around town
@davewhodavedunn WHile I agree, you have to remember the class of car this is. They need to keep the price down so you don't offer that stuff. I guess you could, but I don't even think the Corolla has it. I agree Toyota skimps on stuff a lot. Not as a good bang for your buck.
This guy is so full of $hit. Car Care Nut just put out a video saying that the Yaris is a great, little economy car. And he is a Toyota tech for many years., so he knows those cars in and out.
Not a decent review at all, my 10 year old brother could have done it better, didn’t mention the specs, the ranges, the fuel consumption, MPG, didn’t talk about the trims, prices, etc, worst review ever, didn’t even mention it won awards for its safety features ie several air bags, and crash protection.
I think this is a cheap attempt at making a "affordable car". No features, no bluetooth, no frills, cheap cheap cheap....come on toyota...be like hyundai, sell a good product that gives bang for the buck...this car, is just buck
Be Like Hyundai? Are you fkn kidding? You must eat paste, I would not Buy/Drive one of those Korean Pieces of CRAP! (Everyone I know how bought one, regretted it, specifically after warranty expired!)
I watched some lady die in one of these on the 57 fwy in Diamondbar. I think she was dead already before she smashed the hell out of it into the center devider. The reason for the simetrical design is so they can save some money. for all markets. Just becasue you dont have alot of money to spend you dont have to buy a yaris.
I bought my Yaris new in 2007 and with 290k miles later it runs like a clock! It keeps going and going and going. I own two of them and my mechanical brother says I have "cars for life."
its 2020 and my yaris is still taking me everywhere I need to go. I love this little thing and will always remember it when it finally goes.
Mine too, 11 yr old and close to 170k miles, try getting that from a European car.
You will go 1st
Update?
Don't you insult the Yaris, it is a fantastic car!
Most reliable car I have ever owned! 160k, zero issues! 42 mpg and great on snow. I'm afraid to sell it because a newer car may not be as reliable.

It should have telescoping steering wheel. But its reliable. Its great on gas. Its durable. Engine and trans are proven to be Reliable so what's the problem?
I love mine. It will haul tons. I can sleep in it. No brakes ever. Walmart brakes? $165. Changed serpentine belt today. $106. Love the compartments,
Update ?
I put nice tires on my 2010 with 160k miles and it handles and drives so much nicer, since it had crappy Chinese tires before. Worth every penny.
Update?
30 mpg's overall? BS I get 37 avg mostly city with a little expressway use.
Convert US mpg to Imperial mpg - Fuel Economy Conversions. 37 imperial is about 31 US.
Sorry bub, I'm in the US and have the 4 sp auto. Commute 35 mi each way to work, every day. Last fill up I calculated a 37.1 MPG. It's an awesome car.
I get 37 all the time with summer tires...just took my First 2010 "Blue" to pick up our Second 2010 Yaris "Yellow" (Both 3dr Autos) on the way to Indiana from MN I got 38.9 and on the way back my wife got 34.2 with "Blue" and I got 36.3 with "Yellow"...she had snow tires on hers, and that subtracts 2mpg easy, and on way back fighting prevailing west wind. My brother in law took "Blue" to Florida 7 years ago...total trip average 38mpg and he drives 75-80! (35mpg EPA is very under rated!)
Naa! Best i get is 32mpg here in the UK in my auto and i'm very careful driving.Best i ever got from my 2002 Yaris auto was 47mpg.
Mine is getting 45 mps's on long highway trips.
My 2011 Yaris does have seats that can be adjusted in height, tilt the steering wheel, have chrome door handles, nice doors at the inside and nice finish!
So much can change in 1 year ;-)
I think either you Have 2012 or something...Wheel tilts on ALL Yaris I have seen...They were talking Telescope...(in/out)
Excellent car and with great price
I bought one with 150k miles, after test driving one with over 350k Miles. The engine on the 350k was still running smooth and quite, the transmission was great and shifted fine. That's like proven reliability that your seeing and actually driving. And they don't have all the computer ran junk that goes out on the newer cars, and costs big bucks to repair. And this one with that high of miles still had no codes on the scan tool!! The owner said all he had to do was change the engine oil at 5K and the trans oil at every 50k, which both are cheap and easy to do. They are great cars for being simple, reliable, and not crammed with all the electrical, especially the GPS tracking BS, the remote take over of your car possibility, the spying and record everything you say. That's in all the newer cars now. Get a 2007 Yaris or any of the Echos, they have none of that and can last for years. They both have the highest gas mileage too.
My sister had one of these absolutely abuse and it did over 180, 000 miles. It was bulletproof. Yes the interior doesn't look as good as others car brands and it doesn't look flashy or in face type of car. But if your not a person who wants show off a car and wants a sensible car that has reliability this is well worth it
My nephew has one it's actually pretty decent to drive
My wife have one its faster than my 1.6 VW MK4 . Our 2007 Yaris the steering telescopes and also seat comes up...If you put it all the way up and are taller than 5ft 10 and your head will be touching the liner. Its a great car.. very easy to service and very low maintenance. 92K miles and never a problem.
Update?
Why does this video look like it was filmed 20 years ago? I don't remember video being this bad around 2007-2010.
I bought new a 2010 3dr Hatchback AT Yaris, we have put 130,000 miles on it (30K the first year as a commuter car) but the only repair has been a water pump. (Big Deal $300 Parts and Labor), when I commuted I drove 80%/20% 75mph Fwy / 55mph back roads home in MN. I would 37 MPG all summer long on Goodyear Eagle LS tires, and 32 MPG in winter on General Altimax Arctic, due to the sticky tires and colder weather. For me the Fit didn't "Fit" as it does not come in the far more comfortable 3-Door. (The 1NZ-FE engine, U340E Auto, are not the MPG leaders anymore, and won't be returning for 2019 but they were some of the most reliable dollar to value cars out there, hopefully I can pick up some nice used ones to buzz around in, into the future.)
I just picked up another 2010 3dr hatch with 8000 miles. Love these simple cars!
I love how they say this car is slow. My Old 05 Echo would run 180km/h at top speed.
Still have my old echo and the 07 Yaris. Both are great cars that also aren't loaded up with all the electrical BS and junk that breaks on the new cars.
@@standtallvets5386update?
@John Scott re center speedometer - very ill placed - expecting a speeding citation on freeway after 2-1-2014 purchase. Very distracting & dangerous having to look to the right of center to check one's speed. Thinking of getting a GPS that show speed.
They 23 City 47 highway 33combined in the sedan, that is excellent considering that they got 36 combined in the first gen Honda Civic hybrid
Matthew B BS! How you get 47 highway! I did drove highway best I got 37mpg Highway. I don’t understand....
I love my Toyota echo nothing can kill it over 300k and I love the cubbies
This reviewer has no idea what he's talking about; who needs gas-guzzling SUV's or fancy luxury cars with leather interiors ?; my little 2007 Yaris Hatchback (bought new in 2007) is still going strong in 2020 at 108k miles; ride is smooth and I love the centrally-placed gauges; I'm 6'2" with plenty of head and leg room; this reviewer needs to go back to his Lexus or SVU and stop calling this a "cheap car"; Toyota sells millions of these in Europe and Asia.
30 mpg? I get 43 mpg average with a 5 speed
Made in Japan = Quality & Reliability
I bought mine ( a 2010) to replace a 98 Corolla that died on me and this Yaris is better in just about everything except ride qualityThe Corolla was a bit smoother and more forgiving on bad roads.
I see 4:20 on that clock
This is the second time i bought a toyota vitz my first was a second hand 1999 vitz 1000cc motor you have no idea how far that car could travel it may not be fast but it did the job for me after that i own a 2011 vitz RS now 1.5 liter and it has plenty of legroom at the back a little bit more then the 2008 second gen also more trunk space i'm happy i choose the vitz instead of a honda fit. The 3rd gen RS also looks way better then the honda fit imo.
250k km , and still my best i love my 2007 HB yaris
This Consumer Reports guy from goodness know what decade just committed HERESY against the humble but ultra reliable, cheeky little big Toyota Yaris - it’s a 21st century space pod on wheels!
Just bought a 70k miles 2011, VVTi 1.33L, TR MMT 6-Speed Auto. Euro 5 engine rating, sips fuel, ULEZ compliant, £30 annual road tax in the UK. Expecting to get another 15 years out of it…!!! 😊
Still got it?
@eagledum
The 2012s are out now, and cruise control is standard on the SE.
is a great car i dont care about speed lol you get smoked by any other car but, sometimes i stretch to 55 mpg on the highway 40 easily around town
You s*ck at reviewing dude...
Or a toyota ha ter ;-)
Donde consigo la pieza para reclinar asiento trasero es plastico
I'm looking at these now in 2022 because I'm sick of my 2012 ford focus that only has 81,000 kilometers and so far, the steering rack failed, then heater core failed needing the entire dash to be removed after that cam shaft position sensor failed and now water is leaking into the back hatch area flooding out the spare wheel compartment.....I don't want to know what will fail next and I want a cheap simple and reliable car that doesn't have a problem every 5 minutes.
Did you
The yaris is slow, will feel cheap to some people, doesn't handle as well as the competition, isn't as versatile as the fit.
But who cares?
People don't buy a yaris to sip wine on the way to their private jet. They drive it because it's cheap and reliable. People that buy these cars expect tough reliability which really on Toyota has these days, Honda is a great second choice and the fit is a "better" car when you look at it from a review view, but when you look at what is important in this segment it's a draw... if you need versatility and sportiness the fit is the choice... if you need cheap reliable transportation the yaris is the choice.
ECHO is not bad at all.
Diablo Drift - This. agree.
Good morning please i need to buy a car from your company
blasphemy!!!
How the fuck do i reset the fm radio stations? I just got this car and the stations wont go past like 90.1 or something. How do i get the rest of them?
does anyone know is cruise control is offered in sports package?...i bought sports package but didnt see cruise control... was told it is available as an add on option...your reply would be appreciated
How much is it worth if u would sale
i just bought a new yaris, totally big improvement than this one....
can anybody please let me know how to set the clock in the car, because I have no idea
Press and hold the tiny button in front of the clock until the "minutes" side starts flashing. While it is flashing click the button repeatedly until the minutes are corrected then wait until the hour side starts flashing and click on the button until the hour is corrected then don't touch the button again. Soon the blinking will stop and the clock is reset.
And the Yaris is still not that inexpensive for the little bit that you get.
I have one.I agree, it's a good car but not great.It's kind of expensive.Very reliable and good on fuel.
accipies quae attribuisti
Yaris is not pronounced that way!
I'm wanting to get a Yaris so badly. I was wondering if anyone new any common issues with them. Thanks.
Ginja Man: I just picked up my second 2010 3dr hatch...problems? No, not really...But - You want to get a 2009 or newer ABS is standard, along with the side curtain air bags...the 2010 and newer have a stability and traction control system that makes them nice in snowy parts of the country. My "Old 2010" has 135,000 on it, and its my wife's car...the only 2 things that were not routine maintenance were: Heater Fan started making a funny noise so I replaced it $75...and at 120K the water pump started to make noise...I had a local shop fix it...(I have fat hands and its tight in there)...cost $300...But I have done all the other maintenance myself...Oil Changes, Brakes, Spark Plugs, Air Filters, BTW this car is extremely simple. Get on YarisWorld.com and there is a TON of information on these cars. My New 2010 I have only had a week, it only has 8500 miles...its barely on 2nd oil change!
@@gringoenespanol I live in a place where it is snow and ice half the year, I will not own a car without ABS or Traction Control...And the Side Curtain Airbags are nice when someone without ABS slides thru the intersection and T-Bones you...as happened to my friend yesterday. Luckily his Mitsubishi had Side Curtain Bags...The Stability System is pretty cool on these things too...I hit some slush making the car hydroplane and slide sideways at 30mph and the car applied the brakes and took me out of the spin before I even had the chance to react. I would likely would have been upside down in the ditch had it not done its thing...I used to be just like you...I drove 70s-80s simple vehicles and white knuckled all winter long...now I put the snow tires on in the fall and drive with confidence. Technology is awesome.
@@misters2837update?
What an arse. Yaris is the most reliable car ever built.
@davewhodavedunn this is a base model, my friend has the yaris s and is is alot better
Honda Fit is also loud as hell and undampened
The comment section feels like a cult. I feel conpel to join by but in a yaris too
@@bufon63u own one?
I have a 2008 model, and I agree on some points, and disagree on others. I agree that the handling is poor. It feels darty, always requiring steering correction, and body roll is excessive. But I disagree about acceleration---from 0-60 I think it's quite spritely, and I have to make a conscious effort to back off the throttle so as not to get a ticket. But at highway speeds, it's definitely not as responsive as around town
13 years later returning to see this clown dissing the Yaris. The Yaris probably outlast him lol
Great Review!
Not as good as this because it has the Corolla 1.8 motor. You will lose about 8 mpg overall.
Scion XD would not give you the MPGs.
No, but it is a nice car
I have one... It's ok.
Having the speedometer in the center seems really distracting, no?
No
At 1:05 "Doesn't take much to stop this little car." That's because it wasn't going too fast to begin with.
Hmm had no problem getting mine up to 105mph.
What so ever we can get 400,000 km easily
@davewhodavedunn WHile I agree, you have to remember the class of car this is. They need to keep the price down so you don't offer that stuff. I guess you could, but I don't even think the Corolla has it. I agree Toyota skimps on stuff a lot. Not as a good bang for your buck.
This guy is so full of $hit. Car Care Nut just put out a video saying that the Yaris is a great, little economy car. And he is a Toyota tech for many years., so he knows those cars in and out.
Automatic shift🤢
Not a decent review at all, my 10 year old brother could have done it better, didn’t mention the specs, the ranges, the fuel consumption, MPG, didn’t talk about the trims, prices, etc, worst review ever, didn’t even mention it won awards for its safety features ie several air bags, and crash protection.
It’s a Japanese Yugo.
No, it is not!
Bull crap!
I think this is a cheap attempt at making a "affordable car". No features, no bluetooth, no frills, cheap cheap cheap....come on toyota...be like hyundai, sell a good product that gives bang for the buck...this car, is just buck
Be Like Hyundai? Are you fkn kidding? You must eat paste, I would not Buy/Drive one of those Korean Pieces of CRAP! (Everyone I know how bought one, regretted it, specifically after warranty expired!)
I watched some lady die in one of these on the 57 fwy in Diamondbar. I think she was dead already before she smashed the hell out of it into the center devider. The reason for the simetrical design is so they can save some money. for all markets. Just becasue you dont have alot of money to spend you dont have to buy a yaris.
toyotas are not that great of cars they are losing to the competition very badly
Ok Sure...and that is why their resale value is much higher than any other brand.
I bought my Yaris new in 2007 and with 290k miles later it runs like a clock! It keeps going and going and going. I own two of them and my mechanical brother says I have "cars for life."
Update?
