Which car would be less expensive to own and maintain? (short term, long term) - Toyota Yaris Forums

06! How could you!?! Lol total blasphemy!

The only issues I've had with my yaris's is, as stated earlier in this thread, is wheel bearings, and an alternator.

One thing to point out with the yaris is the ease of service. These cars are incredibly easy to work on. For example, the windshield wiper assembly can be removed in under 10 min. Somethig that can't be said for many cars on the road today. If you do your own service this is a major selling point to me.

I beat the shit out of my yaris's and they just don't break.

But on the same note, I know people that have taken late model Honda civics to over 600,000km. But the yaris, with regular maintenance can also hit this mileage. My daily driver has almost 350,000km, burns no oil, fires right up on the coldest days, and still runs so quiet, I mistakenly think it's not running standing next to it sometimes.

But I'm gonna have to say yaris. I bet the insurance is cheaper too...

I'll forgive and forget on this one. You've done a lot for all the other members that are considering a 2zr/turbo build. Blazin trails with a very well documented build!
