Yaris is like a Timex, just keeps on ticking.
I bought my Yaris new in Sept. 2006 when they first came on the market in the US. I have kept the oil changed, gone through five sets of tires, and just replaced the front brakes on it at 289,000 miles. It still gets great gas mileage and just keeps on going. It has been a great little car and has served me well. I just wanted it for a gas efficient commuter vehicle when I bought it. Yes, you do have road noise, it doesn't have any whistles and bells on it, no electric locks, windows, etc. which were marketed on later models, but it has the cost efficiency I was looking for. This is the second Toyota I have owned, the previous being a 1976 Toyota Corolla, which also withstood a lot of punishment and just kept going. Change the oil and they will just keep on going.
