Faults:

There is not a single thing that has failed or needed adjustment on my Yaris in its first 39k miles. There has not even been a need to adjust a belt or add oil.

General Comments:

The Yaris is the most economical real car to operate.

I bought it knowing when I would sell it. Yaris is a fine tool for exactly what it does.

Toyota should be strutting with pride for producing such a nice car for such little money. It's fantastic value.

Is the Yaris as nice a design as my 1990 Civic DX? No. But it's 3 grand less money, uses 10% less fuel, and goes a lot faster.

Faults:

The car is so light that it is horrid in the snow. It's all over the road. Drivers should put sand bags in the trunk to gain better traction.

The car locks up easily.

General Comments:

Great on gas.

The front cup holders are right in front of the heat vents. Very poor design.

The seats are semi-comfortable.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

This is a great car; very zippy and fun to drive. It's gotten a little scary a couple times when I was going way too fast around curves; the car doesn't handle that well, but of course it's not made to either.

I have a lot of storage compartments in this car.

I guess the one thing I don't like about the car is the instrument cluster being in the center; I thought I would get used to it, but I haven't yet.

This is a really fun car to drive. I hope it's as good as the Tercel I had several years ago.

I would recommend this car to anyone wanting a frugal vehicle that's fun to drive.

Faults:

Transmission replacement at 28000 miles.

Drivers side CV axle rebuild at 30000 miles.

Drivers front wheel bearing replacement at 31000 miles.

General Comments:

This car was a great purchase until failures started at about 28000 miles.

Since then I have lost all respect for Toyota. I should have purchased another civic.

Transmission failure was a bearing in the differential.

CV axle failure was a boot failure which resulted in complete axle rebuild.

Wheel bearing failure was???

My point is that these failures were not a result of an accident or some other outside influence. failures seem to be unrelated and too often for my comfort.

The wheel bearing will be fixed tonight and I hope that the future failures of any kind will cease. if they do continue, I may trade off the car even though I will take a financial hit.
