Toyota did not make it. Toyota has a deal with Mazda to have Mazda make it in Mexico. That is why your VIN number has a M in it (Mexico). Wanted Toyota Reliablity , hopefully Mazda builds reliable cars. Do not know what kind of reliablity the IA has because it is a new model (in the US). Cannot find info on how reliable it is in other countries. Toyota now sells them as a Yaris IA. … Tires are an oddball size so finding them is a chore. For an econobox it looks sporty. Great gas mileage. If you are concerned about the lack of power press the sport mode lever which is below the gearshift, but I am guessing that fuel economy will suffer.Update 2/19/17 it is a commuter car. 18000 miles and the tires show little wear. Changing the oil is not that bad, it is expensive if you take it to a shop because the engine requires synthetic oil. Happy so far. 2/23/20 almost 100000 miles, using it as a long distance commuter car. No issues. Happy
