How many miles does the average yaris last for?

300K easy, 400k not out of the realm of possibility. Properly maintained, these engines and trannies don't blow. There is a reason why Toyota has been using the INZFE ever since the introduction of the Echo. Typically, depending on where you live, the car will fall apart around the engine first. Where I live, either an accident or rust will be cause of death.

That's good to know. Luckily I don't live in a salty environment so I'm expecting 400k based on how I've been taking care of it.

Speaking of accidents. My friend who also has a Yaris Hit a deer a month back. Insurance company screwed him over. Damages cost about 2000 dollars to fix is what they claimed, the said since he has over 200k miles it's too old to fix so you can either total it out and get a small check or keep it but they're not paying a single penny to fix. I told him he should sue them because he had comprehensive for just in case a deer pops out in the road at night. That's what he was paying them for the past 10 years. Idk much about how that works but seems wrong to refuse to pay literally anything, even half would have been fine but he ended up paying out of pocket to get it fixed since it was otherwise a fine running car. Just the bumper and headlight were messed up. It cost him less than what the insurance company used as an excuse to get out of paying. I forget how much it was maybe a thousand.


Anyways with that in mind, I've been thinking about getting those bars that cop cars have in front of their vehicles. Just in case a deer jumps out the woods at night. Might help mitigate that issue.

Wonder if that can be done? And if so, how much would it cost and how might it affect MPGs?
