Thank you :) Yeah, nothing like the police showing up at 3am to tell you your vehicle burned to the ground. Thank goodness for Toyota Financial Services

I had no real problems using a RHD car in a country that drives on the right. Reluctantly sold it having lost my job out there.

Anyway, I'm back in the UK now and earlier today test drove a used version of the same car. Mine had stop/start, this one (late 2009 car) doesn't, but it does beep if I drive it backwards, oh and it has that very much in your face digital odo. Car is spotless inside and out, and the garage will service and MOT it before I pick it up in a weeks time or so. Sweltering day and noticed the aircon not doing much on the test drive. They promised to re-gas it for me.

My 10 Reg car was so perfect, I'm crossing my fingers that this used one (December 09) will prove as trustworthy.

Glad to discover this forum.

Alec.

Wish you good luck :)

Well I just purchesed a 2007 Yaris Liftback Base model with 23,000 miles in basicaly brand new condition. I never thought I would be buying a Eco car but I was looking at adds and found this one and after researching it a bit I thought I would give it a shot.

A little background on me, well I own a 98 Deville D'elegance with the Deathstar V8 (Northstar) and love it but it has some problems and needed something to get me to work and better on fuel, the Cadi gets 17mpg I drive 50/50 city/highway. I also own a 99 Dodge RAM 2500 4x4 with a V10 wich stands for 10mpg but it is a working truck not for commuting.

I have owned a lot of cars (about 40) from beaters to newer cars like a Dodge Charger R/T (loved it) but I am impressed with this little car, I filled the tank and been driving all over the place and just hit 240 miles at a half tank, in my Cadi I would be looking for a gas station and dropping another $60. Its nice not having to go to the station every 4 to 5 days. I think I can make it two weeks on a tank.

2012 sedan is identical to 2011. Only the liftbacks were updated in 2012. For 2012 the sedans became a fleet sale only car, so that is why aftermarket accessories only list compatibility to 2011.

Glad this forum is here. I'm running into a problem though. I've searched the forums but havent found my answer. I swapped out my reverse lights and rear turn signal blinkers with no problem. I had to shave off the post of the turn signal bulbs (as read in a DIY forum) and they they worked fine. As soon as I went to my front headlight turn signals, I shaved a post, installed, then it kept blowing the fuse. Any ideas on whats going on here? I put the originall bulb back in and it works fine. So did I just blow my new LED bulb or is there a bigger problem?
Thx,
Mike

Hey Guys & Gals! Thank you for the warm welcomes. I'm happy to find this forum. Recently a few mice have nested in my A/C ducts. I took the car to Toyota and they said it would cost 1k to remove the dash and clean out the ducts and remove all the carpet nesting. I'm looking for a 2011 Service Repair Manual so I can figure out how to remove the interior dash and assembly to get to the units. Any help with this would be much appreciated!! Thank You!! Jeremy

I bought a late model car last year that sat in a field for 18 months.
I found mice, wasps, nests of who know whats.
The odor was unbearable.
First, power wash everything that you can reach. Including underneath the car and engine compartment, avoid the electronics.
Remove the cabin filter if there is one. Jam a vacuum tip in there. I made one very small from a cardboard tube and taped it to a shop vac.
Wash the carpeting with rug deodorizing rug cleaner. Leave a box of baking soda
in there for a day or two.
Spray Lysol into the ducts. Might take a few times.
If the weather allows keep the windows open for a day or two.
It took about three days to get the car acceptable. A week for all the stench to leave.
Good luck.
If you even think you still have mice, try some peppermint oil on a cotton
ball in a cup on the floor.

First post - just wanted to thank those who moderate this site and the many who post on all sorts of topics!

My old girl, a 2001 Subaru Forester was on it's way out so I started browsing cars. Was already looking at Yaris when I stumbled across this site. This site answered almost ALL of my questions and made the decision easy. Spent some time "breaking" in the new ride and then took her on her first trip to Ottawa this weekend... around 1000 km altogether. She was great, I love this car.

Thrilled with my new Yaris and can't wait to get the windows tinted and really make it my own. I have a couple of questions but will try to seek out the appropriate thread on here!

Cheers to all of you for putting together a great site for current and prospective buyers alike!

I'm really not new, but returning. Lost my job last November. All my contacts were lost. Started a new job at the same location, but for a contracting company.

Now my Daughter's engaged so Thank God he supplied a job so we could pay for part of it and go to the destination wedding.

My old screen name was, ScreenPrintR, and my new one is, ScreenPrinter. I know, very original.


Glad to be back. This site is very hopeful, and everyone is great.

Hello everyone.

I'm not new to the Yaris or this forum, but I have been away from all forums for a while. I have a 07 Yaris sedan S that I regularly compete with in SCCA SOLO, STF class #316. I have a Facebook page where I do most of my posting, but I will start sharing my racing experience and GoPro videos.
