Just bought a 2010 Yaris

[jRoss]

I have been looking to buy a newer, more reliable car for awhile now. I was pouring money into my poor 93 S-10 left and right. So I went to a dealership and traded it in. I ended up with a 2010 yaris sedan, base model, 5 speed with 46xxx miles. I am only 22 years old with not-so-good credit and no co-signer so I was kinda forced to overpay, $12k. Did I get ripped? Either way, I ended up with an awesome little car, it is by far the nicest, newest car I've ever had. I love it already.

How long can I make this car last? Is there anything I should keep my eye on? I'm pretty good with working on my own car but I'm not too familiar with working on newer cars. I didn't know much about the Yaris before I bought mine and I was actually suprised to find it had an enthusiast forum.

I have a few plans for this car, I like to keep it simple and I can't afford anymore speeding tickets, so no performance mods. I want to get some subs in the trunk and some Rota Slipstreams(always wanted some and now I have the car for it)
