I have a 2010 model, with power windows and the speedometer is different. Can’t ask for a better commuter. I bought at 147k miles and now 163k 😅 after 1y and 3 months of driving around Florida. I’m in love with it.
I just bought a 2009 Toyota Yaris sedan with 89,000 km or 54,000 miles on it. My previous car was a 2009 Yaris hatchback and a careless driver turning lift totaled it about 3 yrs ago. I loved it and it was very reliable. The sedan has much more room for passengers and with such low mileage I can drive it quite a while. I knew the previous owner of the sedan and she hardly drove the car at all. Bought it for $1500 about 1000 in American money.
Good morning Nathan This is John Chan the fisherman. I will be 54 yr in a little bit . At the moment my wife and I own 5 toyt. We had bad incidents in Florida with our rental car, 2022 Honda pilot, transmission issues at 44k miles, had to be away from my driveway. Just learned the yaris from 2007 to 2019 , they are well made. The most reliable car to get point A to point B. We will buy a cheap one to keep at our Florida home sowe don't have to change our flight. Liked your video, thanks
Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, they are simple, easy and economical cars to go from A to B without much care or worry! I would recommend having one at your Florida home - you can't go wrong! Take care and Happy New Year!
Good morning Nathan We bought a 2009 Yaris sedan for about 5K with 155K miles on the speedo. Got in mid April;like driving it. I changed engine oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. We drove our kid to MN in the Yaris. We only spent about $120 in gas. The car was loaded 3 adults and luggage. It average 35 to 36 mpg. Traveled for approximately 1500 miles from MA to MN. We lost two hubcaps, bought new ones then I secured the cabs to the wheels with zip ties. I don't have any negative things to say about this Yaris. Oh yeah when I got MN I added 1/4 quoart of engine oil. That's it. When my kid finishes the 10 weeks of internship, we will drive it back to MA. I love that little dingy car. Thanks for your awesome advice, but safe young man...
Kanto Auto Works built these. The most legendary Toyota facility in Japan that no longer exists. It was wiped out by a massive tsunami in 2012. That’s when Toyota became “ Toyota motor east Japan” I have a 09 sedan S model. I love the car been extremely reliable but it’s kinda dumb that the base model had no cruise control. The other model had hand crank windows. Top model had cruise control and electric windows. (Which mine has both) also hate that the belt doesn’t have an automatic tensioner. Gotta manually tighten the drive belt yourself once a year . It’s easy to do. 13mm socket on the top alternator bolt. Loosen and pull back with a pry bar. But the 1.5 liter engine is legendary with the extremely reliable UC3204 transmission. Toyota made amazing 1.5 and 1.8 liter engines and this trans is bullet proof.
As you all can see in this video, no cruise control on this yaris, also has the cheaper radio not the nicer radio in the top model like mine. I hate that Toyota did this.
I've just subscribed, rang the notification bell & "Like" I bought my Jan 2009 Toyota Yaris 4-door Sedan (Base) with manual transmission, 15" steel wheels, all the bells & whistles except for the Cold Weather Package. Of all the 2011 Toyota recalls only one pertained the Yaris, the grease on some component on the driver's door needed to be replaced because the Yaris is the lowest profit margin the entire care was manufactured in Japan - no South American made sub assembles used in the assembly like all other models here in America. Toyota Yaris engines were manufactured with chain driven timing chains, NOT timing BELTS like on Honda's. I drove my brand new Yaris off the Dealer's lot & NEVER had to take it back because something didn't work. MY Yaris now has only 106,489 miles on the odometer. Other than normal Oil/Filter changes, battery replacement, & tires, the only added maintenance has been replacement of the Air Conditioner coolant, rear shock absorbers, serpentine belt. 39.514 MPG is the accumulated overall gas mileage for the entire 106,489 I've put on the odometer, which is more than the EPA highway gas mileage of 36 mpg. I bought the Yaris because I wanted a "mechanically reliable" vehicle with high EPA gas mileage estimates - lucky me I got one that was assembled as RIGHT as RIGHT can be. Most of those miles have been driven in relatively salt free roads in Arizona & Nevada. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Thank you so much for sharing your comments and your story about your car!! I’m sure it will be well received with other viewers! Sounds like you have an amazing car 🚗 that you’ll be keeping for a long time!!!
@@NSLTCI forgot to include that I replaced headlight housing 2 years ago because they'd become hazy/fogged & I knew buffing out the haze/fog only made matters worse.
@@NSLTCProject Farms, whom I consider a reliable resource did a RECENT testing of Headlight Restoration kits & may have come up with a winner. CeraKote Headlight Restoration Kit is the product; check out his video. I bought one & am planning to use it on someone elses car to see if it works for years instead of a couple of months. Replacing headlight housings was an all day project for MEeee, one I really don't want to do again. Project Farms said, at the conclusion of his most recent video that he was going to put all headlight housings recently tested outside for a year & come back with a video showing which one, if any, protected the housings from UV rays.
In Ireland the yaris has only a 1.0 liter and a 1.33vvti engine. I never knew about these 1.5 and 1.8 in a Yaris until now. The 1.33 drinks oil but the little 1.0 liter is 👍
It IS technically "subcompact", But modern space efficiency is gonna make the rear passenger space in the Yaris seem more like a smaller 1980s "X/A" model Buick, than it would an RWD 1980s "sub compact" such as a 4 door Chevette, for example.
Very nice car! Almost as clean as my silver 07 sedan with only 53K on the odometer. 😉 These cars are best for around town driving. One can take long highway trips, but I feel sorry for anyone who decides on a San Francisco to LA trip. The seats are too hard and small and begin to irrate and wear on the driver/passengers.
I actually didn't know they had sold the Yaris in the US...or rather, I didn't remember it. Very preserved for 215k+ miles! It looks like a third of it, actually.
The only drawback about this car is that the speedometer is not where the steering wheel is it's in the middle I think that Toyota did a bad job with places to speedometer in a good area where it's visible so if anybody wants a Yaris and wants to see their speedometer they have to buy a Yaris hatchback because the Yaris hatchback is the only car that has the speedometer where the steering wheel 🛞 is.
This is a CAR, it does CAR things, while acting as a CAR. and looking like a CAR. I want CARS like THIS now. I don't need an SUV, But the only OTHER alternative is a fucking "Crossover" that looks like a tacky "tennis shoe". I want CAR shaped CARS again! (I know that "cars" STILL exist, But NONE are withing a working man's reach today.)
What makes you think 40mpg is poor for this car? It's engine and transmission technology dates back to 1999. How many cars in that time period got 40mpg? Are you trying to compare it to more modern cars that have CVT transmissions that wear out after 150k miles or cars with direct injection that have to be taken apart every 50k miles to clean the carbon buildup on the intake valves? I hope you're not trying to compare it to any hybrid car because that would also be an unfair comparison. What exactly are you trying to compare it to in this same year and price range??

I have an 09 Yaris with 260,000 on the clock. Always starts, runs great, drives meh. Can't complain for what I paid. And everything still works!
i was lucky to find an 07 with only 44k on the odometer. Single owner. Paid $7k. Great buy. Love how reliable and economical this is.

There needs to be a return of simply econo cars like the Yaris to the North American market.
Appreciate your concentration and being motivated Good Luck...
