I bought this car for the reasons you explained in the video. Lots of space for such a small car and the reliability! My friend has one and its soon 400 000km and still going. Got my self one with 170 000km and only one owner. It's going to be my little helper A to B kind of car! Great Video and Iam happy too see some one else is appreciating it! (my girlfriend didnt like the looks of this car tho???) haha
Banana Hammock Thank you :) I appreciate your feedback. Yes. It s reliability has to be reckoned with. It s a great hassle free, no brainer, not too expensive car to drive and maintain. Perfect for point A to B. It s just incredible as you say what you put inside. I really don’t understand what they stopped it s production so quickly with only 2 versions on the first generation. We had both the Yaris and Yaris verso. Was funny to have them both as they are very similar in the front, inside and outside if I remember well. Unfortunately the Yaris had a small accident and it was not worth repairing it. It had the same level of reliability. Although I have my TSK, I miss that car.
I've own one of these for 6 years as do two of my friends. They are truly remarkable cars . As Toyota have never properly replaced it - I shall be keeping mine indefinitely. A great review. 👍
2 cars in 1. The rear seats fold away beneath the front seats which gives you a small van. Brilliant idea. I had mine for over 9 years. It was 14 years old when I bought it. In that time I only replaced a battery, tyres, the brakes, the exhaust and a water pump and it had an engine service every year and it passed every MOT until now. I would have gladly kept it for another 9 years but, it required extensive and expensive welding, under the rear of the car and around the rear suspension mounts. I will miss my Yaris Verso, the most reliable car I've ever owned, it never let me down!
@@funcarreviews I could not agree more. I would have another in a heartbeat, if I could find one that was in better condition than mine underneath. Unfortunately I won't be looking for another car for a while because I've just bough a newer one. Possibly against my better judgement, maybe!
Thank you! We bought 1 this year. It's from 1999 with cassette tape deck hahaha! It's a genius design. Built for durability, comfort and space. LOADS of space. We did have to replace the airco, but the dealer who sold the car did this for free because it broke within a day. After that we made a 5000km round trip from The netherlands to Bosnia. Went smooth as butter. Perhaps the 1.5 engine is a bit better suited for in the hills with airco. And if you have a caravan, then you NEED a 1.5. We don't though. I hope and think this car will last another 30 years. Best greetings!
Mine also only had a tape deck, which I used, but I bought a Toyota CD player from ebay. It fitted in the space for the empty storage compartment below the tape deck. I pulled all the front of the dahboard off and there I found a spare plug/socket on the wiring loom for the cd player. It was a pity I couldn't remove it before going to the dealers for my replacement car!
I bought one today 1.3cc engine,103000km on the clock,handles and performs well and alot better than my 2005 Toyota sienta ...more space and height,cute quirky looks but loving it. Go get one it's great car all up. Petrol only going up,this is cheap on gas and can carry big stuff easy. By the way nice review!
They make a replacement but not for the UK - the Sienta. A regular cab in Singapore - some with 300k cab miles on them. Solid. I wish they would import them to the UK.
That's great to hear (and see) I am buying my grand daughter a 1st car, actually one of these cars. 2000 Done 3400 k 1 owner service records back to it's first service. Appears 2 bushes up front, head light bulb, Air con on/off switch. He was clearly one very fastidious owner. All receipts and documents match. Grand daughter had saved enough for half, so I chipped in the rest. Oh and we both love the seats go into the floor. wow! Thank you so much for your generosity to your pride in this car. Great.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and feedback. Greatly appreciated. Still a very reliable and practical car, that's for sure. The rear seats are so great, being able to have such a flat back and such a generous space is awesome.
Aha indeed. Those cars just won’t die 😃. We had the 1999 Yaris. 2001 Yaris Verso, 2006 Yaris, 2009 Yaris TSK and the 2018 Yaris. I do miss the W140. Just an awesome car too, especially for its time.
I have this car and absolutely love it. Never gonna sell it, unless I consider myself a fool. Even if I buy a fancier car, this would be my always point of reliability.
I'm getting one of this type same year but automatic. The joys in this is it's owned by one person and has 70,000km genuine mileage. One other joy is it has just a single rust on the passenger back seat. This will be my daily drive. Seems i just hit a jackpot with your review.
I have owned and worked on several yaris versos. And I can say that they are extremely reliable. Other than brakes and tires the only thing I remember breaking down was a rear wheel bearing at 280 000km. Edit: excuse me, and a starter motor
I bought this car at the beginning of this year for only 750 euros. Beside a few small scratches on the outside the car still looks in a very good condition. When I bought him he only had 118.000km's and has automatic transmission.
@@funcarreviews I hope so too. Next week I am going for my official driver license. So I hope i pass straight away. It's really nice driving an unique car like the yaris verso, in Belgium we don't see this car too often.
@@funcarreviews It always makes me excited when I see one. If you see them driving here it are usually older people :D But we see a lot of original toyota yaris's wich is also cool :p
I've got a 2006 D4D with 72k miles. Not a single bit of rust on the thing and I live in the UK all just been undersealed again to keep it fresh. Slowest car I've ever owned but by far the most practical. Never selling it.
It is a 2009 Yaris TS Kompressor, Swiss edition at 215 HP. Only 200 built. I v got some videos on it on the channel. I just love it. But I went a bit too crazy with the lights 😂😂 So a very special model with rotrex compressor.
Very cool video I got the 2005 version with automatic gearbox and now 140000 km. Bought it new. I'm happy to see that it could on theory last until 400k :D I'm super satisfied with this car. But a few things did break down: 1. Air conditioner had a leak after 18 years. 2. Airbag light is on because the cable under the passenger seat gets somehow loose or broken if the seat is moved forth and back. (this problem couldn't be fixed by Toyota) 3. Sunroof is leaking on the driver's side (I put some duck tape, problem fixed) 4. The CD player "eats" CDs. They don't get out anymore. Only with a strong knock they sometimes get out. 5. The button on the dash to turn on the radio/CD player doesn't work anymore. No problem since I have controls on the steering wheel. That's it 🙂 Edit 07.2023: I had to do a whole overhaul of the braking system new brake caliper, brake lines etc. and welding the exhaust. 1200 euros repairs
Aha great. This is a cool experience. Nice to have a sunroof too by the way. We don’t have one but I guess this may be for the best for isolation over time. 🤗
@cosmickate do you have an automatic gearbox? Do you mean the overdrive button on the right side of the gearbox? I get on the highway 7.2 liter per 100 kilometers, around 32 mpg (US)
@cosmickate the L setting is just the first gear. It won't shift to the second gear. I have never used it before. The overdrive is the last fifth gear. So when turned on you get a lower RPM on high speeds, resulting in a quieter ride and lower fuel consumption. If you need extra towing capacity, then I would switch the overdrive off.
I wouldn't class those things as breaking down. A leaking sunroof and a button on the radio is trivial. In the same year and mileage BMW or whatever you'd have catastrophic engine failure.
Hi, I am Japanese and living in Europe who has same Toyota Yaris Verso as well. Long time ago that my sister in Japan who had a same car. Then now I have it that because of I have a good memory with her car. And it is indeed super reliable small and (big space) car :-)
Hey guys I am thinking about getting one of these next year. Do you think its a smart Idea to get one these days or are they reaching an age where it would be a bad idea?
Hello, If you find one with good mileage, well maintained and with the regular services and you do not see anything weird, just go for it. Ours is still going strong. 😉😀
Hello, In terms of reliability i wouldn't know. I would always say that the phase 2 may be batter as some improvements can be done to some potential problems of the phase 1. But in our case we had a very very reliable phase 1 car. Same for the gear box but i wouldn't recommend the automatic gear box just for the driving sensation that are not great.

what oil to you use? how often do you change it? im looking for the same car and reading that after 150k kms engine burns more and more oil, any experience?
Hello, If i m not mistaken, we are using the standard oil recommended by Toyota, which would be full synthetic 5w30, with regular oil change (per manual). As for any old cars with that many KM, fluids are to be checked regularly, at least once a month for the piece of mind (well depending on how much you drive and your car condition). It started to consume more oil after 200 000 KM (around). But it starts like new everytime :)
@@funcarreviews thanks for the reaction.. how much oil does it consume then? See any smoke? And you still have original clutchplate? If you dont mind, feel free to tell me all and when you had to replace . thinking of buying yaris verso 2005 with 160k km and hesitating if it is good idea without known history or service
Maybe i can get the info this weekend, not sure though. The car has been working flawlessly for years. Never noticed smoke. All the gears and clutch are factory if i m not mistaken. We just replaced the usual consumers stuff like tires, brakes, (a suspension failed), some fluid lines to replace because small animals damaged them, battery... The usual. Everything was always done at toyota to be sure that all is done following their guidelines. All our Toyotas are or were more than 150K KM, never big problems. Also buying a new or used car is always a lottery. If you are lucky, you'll never have big problems. But at a minimum for a second hand car, better take one that has all the services at toyota, or have all the services done in time with proves on the service book.
Aha great. Lets hope your experience will be as good as ours. Just be cautious as usual when choosing a car 🤗 Other people experience on forums may be of good help :)
We did have some minor problems with the automatic transmission twice but was easily fixed. I just wouldn’t take one if I have the choice. Same for a Diesel engine. Wouldn’t take it on this car.
Hi, i have the same vehicle, a 2005 Verso, which has the same LCD screen. I wonder how did you managed to display gps data on it? I can not find the way to find anywhere. Thanks for your response :)
Hello, I just have a doubt. Because we had the first yaris and the first yaris verso. One of the 2 had the GPS. As i don't have the car in front of me, i wouldn't be able to tell you which one had it. The GPS system was on a CD, and the reader was beneath the driver seat if i remember.
Hello, So after checking, we had the GPS on the first Yaris, and we were able to transfer it in the Yaris Verso. The system is beneath the driver seat, working with CDs, and you can access its menus by touching the TRIP/NAVI button near the LCD screen (lower right button) :)
It beats those electric pieces of sh*t nowdays... as long as I can, I will always drive an yaris verso. Corolla verso from same years also good btw... Toyota for life!!!
Got 1 2 months ago. 1999, 170.000 km, 1.3. 14 previous owners of which 10 who didn't do any millage.. History with maintenance about 80% complete. Best car I've ever driven, after it got fixed. Airco was struggling and drained the battery. Dealer put in a new 1 for free (as it broke down within 1 day) and had it checked all over. Then we went on a vacation, 6000 km trip from The Netherlands to Bosnia. It had almost no problems with very steep hills. Sometimes I had to give full throttle and it still didn't move, but with handbrake, then some gas and then release of handbrake it did the job. And this with 4 grownups and a roof box. Only problems with it: Central locking doesn't close the backdoor 50% of the time and I cannot close it with the button on the key. O and sometimes I have to jiggle with the gearshift to get it in reverse. It now has now done 176600km, no noticeable oil usage nor coolent. Knock on wood. Thank you for this review! I enoyed it allot and it gives more confidence that I made the right choice.
Thanks for your feedback. It s greatly appreciated. Knock on wood it ll last loooooong. We have also some issues with central locking. But all mechanic is strong.
It was an expensive option back in the days. The GPS system used DVD as databases and was underneath the passenger seat :) It was a direction like style (arrows, roundabouts, distance, position north wise, GPS coordinates, address searches, POI, voice direction…), black and white.

It was a direction like style (arrows, roundabouts, distance, position north wise, GPS coordinates, address searches, POI, voice direction…), black and white.
