A Great little car with excellent MPG !
Name withheld, 01/01/2019
2010 Toyota Yaris 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
I had a Mercedes that was crossing over the warranty line (50K) and knew that beautiful, eye catching car was going to start costing money...BIG money. Along came this little gem, with only 12,000 miles and at a steal of a price, so I had to snap it up. I still had the MB at the time, but got rid of it a few months later. The Yaris has been stingy on gas, very solid feeling and driving … and really quite a little champ on the road. About 10 years back I had a Mini Cooper and loved how it just stuck to turns. This car is not a mini Cooper, but it's ok and within 85-90% of those same handling characteristics. Roomy inside and fairly comfortable for what it is. Lots of interior cubby hole storage for knicknacks. It has traction control, which came in handy when we had a violent heavy rainstorm a few months back - I'd recommend you stay in the slow lane when those situations occur. This is a light car and in times of very heavy rain will slip on steep hills. Every car has drawbacks, including this one: 1) Although it has a tilt steering wheel, it does not telescope towards the driver (was fixed on the 2012 model), 2) the 4 speed auto, although bullet proof is just...meh. 3) And lastly, the car could have better noise proofing. But all that washes away every time I fill up the car: Regular gas, and with a 350 mile commute every week, I can do it on a single tank of gas and a monthly budget of @ $160/mo. It's what I need right now to make my commute life trouble free and help me save for retirement. Summary: Manage your expectations and you will find this car super reliable, cost-efficient and extremely beneficial in everyday needs. Of course, it has no "wow" factor, but this is about looking at a car for what it should be: a transportation tool.
Updated at 45,000 miles: No breakdowns or component failures. MPG is consistent as reported previously. One crank starting. I religiously change the oil and do it in 10 minutes flat - piece of cake. Sons bought me a sway bar and now I'm thinking about fog lights and the 8 spoke OEM wheels to dress it up a little. Its a keeper.
Updated at 52,000 miles. Nothing's changed. It's still a stout little warrior and is 100% trouble free.
Update 7/5/23 - I sold this little gem to move up, buying a nice Honda - I need to note with a clear conscience that my little Yaris was truly trouble-free and super-easy to maintain. The Honda gave me more room and some oommph in the horsepower department, and it was a good offer, so I took it. Would I ever buy another Yaris again? YES ! It was the car I needed at that point in my life - I needed a ultra-reliable basic car I could depend on, and the Yaris was the overwhelming choice. Solid 36 MPG, Oil change in 10 minutes, versatile hachback/sliding rear seats to allow large pieces of luggage, and handled well. It was no frills, but it was a loyal, highly reliable car. Adequate in all situations. It delivered the goods. Thanks to Toyota for developing a great car for those that place reliability and economy at the forefront of their needs.
