I serviced a 2001 1.0 litre from new, when the lady owner changed it in 2017 she offered it to me for £300 with 60,000 miles it is still immaculate, two or three tiny stone chips. Everything works averages 52mpg on E10 , was 60 ish on the old E5 , but can't complain. What's gone wrong ? Clutch release bearing dried up , genuine LUK clutch £43 easy fitting , brakes tyres wipers and a few bulbs. ULEZ compliant , insurance negligible , car tax a bit high . Always starts easy to park anywhere , rev it to 6500 and it really starts to move , vvti etc . Easy another 20 years. So much fun in a little package.
My 2008 1.5 Yaris S 3 door manual hatchback.... I drive it hard 6500 rpm every shift.... I do change the oil full synthetic every 3000 miles but at nearly 200,000 miles it runs like new... Fun, good on gas... cheep to insure... I love it and highly recommend if you can find one with good service records buy it.. If you can find a manual it's a pleasure to drive. I had to change my water pump and AC compressor... Worth every penny Ice cold AC hot Heat room to sleep room for surprisingly large things. I plan to keep it forever...
Have one in my family since 2011 paid £7600 for it back then on 17k miles has done us really well and been very reliable up to last year when it became 13 years old and approached 100k mark where lots of parts needed replacing around the same time like exhaust system, wheel hubs, calipers, auxiliary belts, tyres and disc and pads and other parts costing up to £2000. We've found as it gets older it just needs a lot more maintenance compared to what we're use to and theres still a lot of original parts like yours the coils springs and other suspension components and quite a bit of rust underneath starting to come through quite a few advisories on. We're dreading the next thing that goes on it, which is making us tempted to sell it and replace for something a lot more modern and less maintenance to deal with again.
Mines 2020 100 k no problems at all
Mine is a daily driver. It’s a 2007 3 door hatchback with a manual transmission all electric with original 450,376 miles. It just won’t die…
Whoa, 450k miles! That's like doing 35k miles a year !
Wow I have a 2007toyota Yaris sedan with 225,000 Baught at 73,000. All parts super cheap to replace and can do it off you tube. I’m afraid to get another car because it’s no hassle and low maintenance.
@@DownShiftThrottle Sounds crazy huh
@@alexandrelucienne all true
Deffo crazy with that many miles!
Engineering masterpiece never fail run for ever
Total reliability
I’ve had two yaris. And a dozen others. Yaris is my fav.
Glad its still going strong 😂 BTW this is the previous owners son but in my other account love to see that its sorta okay 😄👍
Ah thanks for getting in touch. I did speak too quickly as yesterday I had a tyre blow out on the motorway. I'll send the pic of the tyre to Kevin.
That's quite a bit tax. I pay same for 52 plate yaris and my older 99 yaris I just sold. They are great cars I have owned 52 plate for 8 years since 2014. I didn't bother getting newer as they are 100k heavier so presume I would need bigger engine which wouldn't be so eco friendly on fuel?
I was "Gifted" an 08 Yaris i used to have a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban so obviously lol BIG difference but i will say this,the Gas Mileage is a big plus,i can literally throw $20 in this thing and not evem LOOK at my fuel level for a week and i cover a lot of miles in a week lol tough little car i honestly am going to invest in replacing the heater box (was in a small fire) and see how long itll last.
This car is economical on gas, matainance, parts replacement and reliability. 13 years no stress. I can afford another car but I don’t want any stress over maintenance and parts replacement. My break pads are $40 bucks alternator $200 and my hubby replace in 1 hr off UA-cam. And it’s low profile so you don’t have to worry about no reason pull overs.
Pretty much sums up this car. It's cheap and fun motoring
I have a 2010 yaris with 130k.. zero problems
Just bought my 5 door 2006 Yaris diesel 1.4. Mileage is awesome, pokey and turbo. £1100. Taxed and MOTed for the year, no advisories.
I have a Yaris 2004 I bought 5 years ago (1.3). Had 92,000 miles on it. Now done 123,000 and paid £800 for it. Just passed it's MOT. Great little motor until recently...not cars fault but local council. Hit a huge pot hole hidden on exit side of roundabout. Done in the front n/s shock and top mount. Buckled nearside wishbone. Steering rods and bent holding bolt into subframe. £800 later all good again. Shame, because I was ahead financially. Just bad luck....
I don't know how much it costs to drive my 2008 with almost 41K on it. There have been a few repairs. The front wheel bearing wore out prematurely early. I have the second battery and the third set of tires. The tires don't wear out, they "age" out. I don't drive much.
At that low miles I think I wouldn't even thinking about the costs lol.
@@DownShiftThrottle I'm not. I'll be driving it for quite a while unless something happens to it.
Clean out inside engine #Sea Foam ...it helps ...400 kms before oil change ✌ ...fuel line cleaner also ...cost only $25 😊
Only use cup of seafoam in crankcase ...not whole can ...rest of can, you put in gas tank ✌
Great video, cheers.😊
👍😎
My daughters got 1.0 gutless but absolutely bullet proof 19k - 100k.
Corroded springs do not need changing, they rust they are mild steel. If they break yes.
Nice review
Is that Talbot way ,off Coventry rd?
No, no where near
What year
2008
@@DownShiftThrottle nice just bought a 09 two months ago
Should I get a mk1 or mk2
Mk2 is nicer and much modern
@@DownShiftThrottle ok I might sell my 2nd Gen Clio and get a 2nd Gen Yaris instead.
