2004 Toyota Yaris Terra 1.0 petrol
Summary:
It gets you where you wanna go, but don't expect more than that
Faults:
The wind screen wiper had to be replaced after 3000 kilometers (failed to remove anything that was a bit more solid than clean water).
There is a rattling noise coming from practically every corner of the car. I have consulted with other owners and they all experienced the same problem. It does not seem to influence the performance or the functionality of the car.
General Comments:
I bought this car to replace my 12 year-old Suzuki Maruti as I wanted more comfort and safety and it lived up to these expectations.
The 1.0 liter engine is seriously underpowered, the 1.3 liter version seems to be a much better choice now.
The mileage is great (5.3 liters/100km).
The car handles pretty well especially around corners.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
