I am beyond blessed to have this exact same 2010 Yaris sedan, same color, missing hubcaps and all!! She's the greatest car I've ever owned in my life. Not many people can say they still drive their first car!!! She's almost to 250,000 miles and still going strong!
@@nick16279Yeah, thing with the mirage is the safetly (at least in Mexico is not as safe as the Yaris) second point is; the power, these little Cars are obviously NOT powerful, but 106hp vs 78hp for a car that weigh a Ton (literally) is a big difference. In my mind Yaris wins. (Milage is very marginal when comparing both, the Mirage has a bigger tank tho)
I own a 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan and its made in Japan. Best investment I’ve ever had, still get 28/32mpg in a manual transmission and has 320,000 miles. Bought it with 132,000 in 2013
Toyota is one of the best car brands or THE BEST worldwide. You can waste your money on expensive cars, or even electric. Toyota has the big will to build good cars that are reliable and last long. A very great intention when building something. Toyota not only has the will, they actually do that. Yaris from for example 2005 are a great example. Yaris is all about a good fun car. Nothing less and nothing more. It runs usually hasslefree. Toyota have their prices, but they are worth every penny. One Yaris tank gets you about 400 miles. That's more than lots of electric cars. The good thing: Lots of Yarises are after 300'000 miles still running fine. That's also more sustainable than most of the EVs.
We have a 2006 Yaris 1.3 L automatic with 370,000 km. It's running beautifully: 142 PSI across all 4 cylinders. We have upgraded both front and rear suspension with slightly stiffer springs and slightly longer springs: The original springs sagged a bit too quickly and we kept scraping speed humps. The stiffer rear springs and shocks also fixed the toe-in problem that started to wear out the front tyres too quickly. The air conditioner compressor and throttle body sensor also failed. The aircon fan got wet and had to be replaced (very easy job). Other than those minor items it's been very reliable. N.B. ATF fluid likes regular changes and doesn't like being overfilled. The ECU light may come on if the battery is failing (CCA 1/2 of normal)... so change it once it shows any sign of hesitancy (especially on a cold night). To pass a roadworthy we had to replace the headlights (~$240 aftermarket). The existing lenses were a bit cloudy: We might have been able to polish them out... but didn't want to risk it. Anyone want a set of spare headlights with polished lenses? 🙂
Our 2015 1.3 L Yaris >200,000 km is likewise running perfectly. We put in slightly firmer and longer springs front and back when the originals started to sag and the front tyres started to toe in. :-)
Bonded a lubricant to the inside of the engines when they were new... which resulted in ~80% reduction in wear: That's a ~5x increase in engine lifespan. That's another reason both cars are running so well. 🙂
I had this exact Yaris (2011). I loved it, though the A pillars block your vision a lot and the back headrests blocked the window, so I kept them off. Only got rid of it because someone totaled it. So fun to drive.
I used to own a 2007 Yaris S sedan just like this one. Traded it in for a C-HR but whenever I see a video with one of these little buggers in it i remember my times in it. If youre a solo driver with no passengers this thing can store quite a bit. one summer it took me, a weeks worth of luggage, a bike and beach gear down without a single issue and i still had some space for more. The Yaris is a very very very nice car for its price and it has the added benefit of teaching younger drivers how to drive better. I've always held that you get more from a smaller car where you have to know its limit and capabilities than a gas guzzler who rockets off with a tiny bit of pedal. So nice to see your review of it!
I've got a 2008 3 dr 5 speed Yaris. It's like a go-kart with a roof and stereo. I love the little thing; it's tough, dependable and gets great gas mileage. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
2008 yaris bought 2015 w/130k , 229 today (2024) same brake pads!!! Replaced Alt 1 time l, bad tire sensor, only problems i ever had. By far the most resilient car ive ever owned
I have a 2008. Still has the original alternator, starter, water pump and fuel pump at 150K. I've had it for 4 years, and it's never once broken down. I did have to replace the radiator, but I did that myself for $200. It was built at a time when Toyota quality actually meant something
I bought my Yaris new in 2009. I still have it and it runs well with 142,000 miles. I only had to do very little routine maintenance over the years. Hands down, the best car I have EVER driven!
Very easy to fit a double din style touch screen radio to this car. It fits the dash layout perfect and can add a lot of modern feature like a back up camera, phone connectivity and navigation. It makes it a perfect commuter, delivery car or just a reliable cheap gas saver.
I have a 2007 Yaris S, and it just passed 200,100 miles. Only thing I changed in it was 1 water pump, 1 serpentine belt, 3 car batteries, spark plugs, 1 head gasket which was super easy to do, best investment for a long long term car
In the 🇵🇭 Philippines we called it Toyota Vios and my mom used to have it but it was red and a manual transmission but sad to say we already sold it and our car here in 🇺🇸 Us she has now a 2014 Toyota Camry with automatic transmission and I rented as well a 2019 Camry.
I just bought Toyota Yaris 2009 4 D ,has 90.000 Mile, ⛽ full cost 38$ and I drove 3 days and line still full 🤣🤣 I can't believe,had lot of cars but Toyota I can tell you this is best car ever I drive, fun and also pocket saver. So Toyota become my loved car forever.
My buddy had an 08, but wrote it off unfortunatly by running a stop sign and hitting a large unloaded horse trailer. The guy wound up with a slightly sore knee and that's it. The Yarisis are decently safe.
I guest it's the most well built car out there. My is 2011 Yaris basic and never has given me one problem and it's milage is 38,728 miles and all is original.
These were made in Japan, and have very good reliability. They won't let you down. New ones are made by Mazda, and I don't know if they are as reliable.
I had a 2007 toyota yaris hatchback built in japan , great little car, built strong hit a 4x4x4 broard on the freeway going 75mph ,damaged the aluminum wheel and blew the tire, put spare on and drove off.now i have a 2016 yaris hatchback build in france, i honestly dont think its build as good.
Hello, yes, I still have it and for a long time, a very reliable car here in Italy. There are still many in circulation, the mk1 mk2 and the new models.

My partner and papa who died in 2020 and 2021, they loved my YARIS!.
The Yaris is too small for America for sure, I guess the pandemic effect was the nail in the coffin, but in Latam, Eurpe and Asia, this is a beast, it just won't die, I had to put and Android head unit in mine to give it new life, cuz the thing is like that dog Hatchiko... it just sits there for you, anytime, everytime, its reliability is incredible, mine is 2008 (bought on 2007) and has 186,000 miles on it, starts the engine like day 1. I can buy a luxury car now (I bough my Yaris back in college) , but this is not a matter of money, I love this Car 😂
I agree, I've got a 2013 corolla and I drive it fast lol. I rented a 2011 yaris before and it was so fun to drive. It is fast, you just gotta put some foot into it lol.
I totally like it! What problems does it have? It's an old car so i expect there are issues. Someone online said this car had a Mazda engine, is that true of this car?
Depends on the market, US had the Scion/Toyota iA that is a rebadged Mazda 2 but some countries still make the Toyota made Yaris which looks different.
actually this looks very clean compared with yaris of that generation in KSA & with that milage & that smooth engine sound = would sell here for $5~8k specially knowing if engine & trans both are broken u can replace them for an imported parts from japan + hand work = $1~1.5k max plus its a very gas saving & its a car that u can abuse to certain limit ofc & will still go as long that the oils & coolant are fresh... dont know about the dark interior colors though cuz here its beige color that's more prefered...

dont know about the dark interior colors though

its beige color
