Just turned 65000, 2008, Yaris LB, blazing blue, all required services done to this point, no problems it's been a good car but I do still have a rattling hood release that drives you crazy sometimes that has to be tightened but overall I'm happy with the car!!

223,021 miles -- 1,028 miles since last post -- no new problems -- I'm probably going to get new tires within the next week. I'm going to go with the same Firestone FR710 set of 4 I have on the car now. I've got 82,478 miles on the current set. Same size 185/60-15. The price is 25 cents cheaper than the cheapest 185/60-15 on TireRack.com. Among all the choices in the marketplace, I also have the most confidence in the Firestone store warranty re the stores existing 'almost no matter what' and getting better service than Wal-Mart. I'm also probably going to replace my battery on 9-9-12 (which If I remember correctly it will hit 3 years of use). I currently have 84,976 miles on the battery. I'm probably going to get a Wal-Mart battery that is the Wal-Mart equivalent of the current Sears battery I have, but it is the same price as the Sears battery was 3 years ago, not the higher price (up,up,up) that the same Sears battery is now.

4372.7 KM logged so far (now at 166,000 KM on my Yaris). Just got it in May of this year.

Replaced 4 tires .. just cause I didn't like the tread left on the tires that came with the car. About 700$ ... yes I live in Canada where things are way more expensive. Expect these tires to last me well in excess of 5 years. So not a bad investment, and gives me some peace of mind.

That's it .. regular maintenance sort of stuff.

Normal maintenance done: oil changes every 5000 miles (synthetic), fresh set of tires at 60,000 miles, new brake pads at 80,000 miles. Only major problem so far was my passenger rear wheel bearing seized on me at 70,000 miles

110,000 miles, no problems.

I have a 2007 silver 3 door hatchback. I change the oil when the light comes on, keep the tires rotated and that's it. I just bought my third set of tires. The Goodyear Eagles that it came with only lasted 30,000 miles. I replaced them with Toyos that lasted 70,000 miles. I just put on a set of Hankooks. My battery went out at 70,000 miles, which I thought was premature (my original Nissan pickup battery lasted 11 years and 210,000 miles). Pretty trouble-free car. My long term opinion of this car is pretty positive. My only gripes are the funky fuel gauge, the auto-dimmer (if you drive with the lights on in the day, you can't read the clock and the speedometer is dim) and the fact that with all the compartments, there really isn't a good place to keep cds. A few rattles come and go, it is a little spooky in a side wind and it is a little noisy (the new tires help a lot). I really love the driver's side glove box and the high central speedometer. Sad to see them go in the new model. I love that 4 big people fit comfortably or 2 people and a whole lot of camping gear. This is a roomy, comfortable little car and I am 6'2''. Oddly, people keep asking me if it's a Smart Car. I will update at 200,000 miles.

Need two new tires, but that's my fault for not rotating like I should. Otherwise, no problems!
