^ Debby, my wife and I have been married since 2001. When we got married she had a new Cavalier with only 10,000 miles on it. The thing died in the middle of the road and the passenger door handle came off. NEW car! Unreal.

WOW! I will have to say the first 10 years were trouble-free except for brakes & tires and for the valve cover gasket needing replaced 3 separate times. I guess I was lucky! The last straw(s) was the radiator springing a leak and blowing the head gasket in 2009. Once my warranty for the head gasket job ran out it was time to trade it in.

Should be moved to the off topic forum (not Yaris specific)...

I buy Toyota first for unmatched quality/reliability/longevity.
Secondly, the usually superior fuel economy (others have caught up though).
Thirdly, smooth, refined ride.
The rest of the reasons is for styling, simple ergonomics, overall best value, and excellent resale value.
