Honda cranked out 50mpg highway with their 1989-95 civics but a Yaris 40 years later can pull any more than 37? On top of that, nobody ever saw actual improvements on fuel economy when the Atkinson cycle came out; petroleum companies are absolutely pulling some strings here.

Replaced the tires twice and battery once. We did nothing to it other than routine maintenance. Sold it in 2018 with over 104,000 miles on it and bought a new Toyota Camry XLE.

The Yaris has been about in Europe for over twenty years in on shape or another, and they are brilliant. They have strong, reliable, dependable mechanicals with good fuel economy, magnificent build quality and ease of service. Most of the European cars will be manual (or stick shift) transmission and are driven by people of all ages from driving instructors to seniors and as a used buy, they are always well looked after well maintained.

It's cars like these plus the Mazda 2 and Suzuki Swift that we should be promoting, Cars that sip fuel, can easily be driven in towns or on long journeys and are reliable. The average car has one or two occupants most of the time. Sure there are big families and drivers that actually need big cars but most households should have one of these as an alternative.

@@scooterbob4432 - I suspect a big part of it is that most driving schools now only teach in automatic cars. I'm a perfect example: Not once was I taught to drive a manual transmission, and as an adult it has never come up because of how common automatics are. I understand how it works, but you wouldn't want me in your car the first time I try manual shifting.

Scotty I tell you my Toyota story: My 2005 Echo(replaced by Yaris later years) served my family til today (2023) with only problem of front shocks leaked and I got them replaced. The original battery died on Dec-31-2018 and was replaced. No one believed this as this was a fairy tale that a car battery can last 13 yrs. But I know it is true as I replaced the battery myself and saw those Japanese wordings on the wall/top of the battery! I live in Canada so sub-zero(C) starting in winter is common. You are right the auto-transmission is lagging and far from zippy to drive but it didn't give me headaches like the Nissan Sentra before it! Thanks for bringing the news to us all these time!

Just a couple of months ago he did a 400 mile round trip on the motorway/highway with it, I spent about a year doing 60 miles every day on the motorway it never skipped a beat, the interior is perfect no rattles or anything, man that thing is built extremely, extremely well

My Echo, on which the Yaris is the heir of, has 314 thousand miles. It's finally showing some wear. I had to fix the transmission (manual) at around 200. The injectors needed cleaning and re-sealing at around 310. The water pump has just started making noise at 314. I bought it used for 10 grand. With fluid changes and regular maintenance, I've paid around 22 cents a mile. Not too bad. Their great little cars. Way better than any beetle.

Virtually new not even a hint of rust. 1500cc motor and CVT auto trans... it has a tachometer, A/C and power windows. I've been afraid to rev it over 4k rpm, because I'm not a mechanic. Had a time finding an oil filter for it. No power but I live on an island with mostly two lane roads... not an issue.

2017 hatch, spanish built, had to do both rear wheel bearings in less than 100K. my 2012 japanese built yaris hatch only had to have a wheel bearing because i slid it into a curb hard. in 265K miles it needed two alternators, two batteries, a wiper arm assembly, wiper motor( seattle lots of rain) and a water pump. it was starting to smoke on startup if left sitting for a week and the trans(auto) would slip if I got it hot pushing it hard over the mountain passes(lots of shifting) (solution: downshift manually on the climbs occasionally & don't use cruise on the passes). other than that it was just routine maintenance stuff.

I replaced my worn out '92 Mitsubishi Galant with a used '07 Yaris last September. It had just under 200,000 when I bought it from Woodbridge Auto Auctions in Woodbridge, Virginia,. I drove my Mitsubishi from Tennessee up there ( I found the Yaris online) and traded in the Mitsubishi (they gave me $300 trade in on it) on the Yaris. I drove it home, and was amazed at how peppy it was! I followed a group of cars running fast, sometimes we were running 100, and I stayed right with them! I'm amazed by this car, and they were only asking $3900 for it! It has never been wrecked, had new brakes, tires and clutch, interior is in great shape, and the air is cold! And yes, it's a 5 speed. I absolutely love the car, it's really great! In five months it hasn't burned a drop of oil, and I drive it hard! I HIGHLY recommend this car if you want fun reliable transportation!

Yes, this is a very economical car on gas. Back in 2003, we bought Toyota Echo and I think Yaris and Echo have the similar engine as our Echo gets fantastic gas mileage of about 37 miles on highway and still running strong, no major problems so far. So Yaris must be just as good as Echo.
