I just sold my 05 Echo 5 dr with 377,400 km on it and bought a new 2014 5 dr Yaris with 55 km on it.

The 05 was never any trouble. I replaced the clutch at 290,000 km myself. I do all my own maintenance. Hoping to get 300 K out of the new one too.

Welcome . Is your new 5-door Yaris an automatic or a manual? In the U.S., the 3rd Gen 5-door isn't available with a manual , unless you get an SE.

The 2014 is a manual. It has the convenience package on it with air, power windows and locks, and came with cruise (although I didn't ask for or pay for it - a happy accident).

Thanks for the welcome. I joined the forum hoping to learn more about the emission control system for the yaris. I've done some troubleshooting on other cars and am looking to gain some insight.

IMO, it is a shame your particular vehicle isn't available in the United States. I would have purchased one....prefer it to the SE re tighter turning circle, and a few other reasons. I wonder if Toyota doesn't offer a non-SE 5-door manual (the XP130) in the U.S. because of a perceived lack of demand. I purchased my 2014 in Florida in August of 2014, but the manufacturing date on the door jamb plate is January of 2014.

Just noticed your '14 is classic silver - mine too!

My '05 was the same or similar color. I figure it doesn't show the dirt as much
