Great 2008 Yaris

I absolutely love my 2008 Toyota Yaris. It had been involved in two accidents, run from Portsmouth to Penninsula for 5 years, taken trips, back and forth to ODU for 5 years, back and forth to Radford for 3, and other treks. It now has 211.278. I just pray it keeps on going!

Outstanding

The Toyota Yaris is one of America's automotive best-kept secrets. Not only is the mileage excellent but the thing just keeps running with minimal amounts of upkeep and no mechanical problems. This 2008 model is now approaching 90,000 miles.

Pretty economic vehicle

This vehicle is pretty solid. Im sure everyones journey is different but the water pump went at 70,000 miles and at 151,000 I pulled it in and out of the garage to do a hand wash, and it wouldn't start after. Lost compression on 3rd cylinder = engine replacement $3,300. At 171,000 now with a used engine that had 23k on the clock. After 12 years with it, I like it. 40mpg, (5 speed manual sedan). Upgraded the stock radio for a 2din stereo for sat nav, android audio, voice commands, etc..to make it modern.

Yaris

My Toyota Yaris has been amazing. Totally dependable for 12 years now. Will be getting another. It has always been easy to maintain and gotten me everywhere I have ever wanted to go. I have promoted the Yaris since the beginning. Thank you Toyota

My 'baby' -- '08 Toyota Yaris

Love my baby! Bought it new & still runs great 12 years later. No one drives it but me. My 5-speed handles well & great on gas. Fun to drive, I love the way it looks both inside and out, love the color, very roomy for a little car.

Great car!

I have been driving my Yaris since 2008 when I bought it new. It has well over 200,000 miles on it and has given me no real unexpected trouble. Just replacing wear and tear items over time and not many of those at all. It rides smoothly and drives easy. I have never had to add oil. Just super reliable and 31-38 MPG. Love it and would highly recommend a Yaris, or most any Toyota for that matter!

Ok car

A fine car for around town driving. However, do NOT take it on the highway. The short wheelbase makes this car SO squirrely at speeds over 45, you're hardpressed to keep it in it's lane. If you're on a divided highway travelling in one direction and a car is in the far lane of the OTHER SIDE of the highway and their windows are rolled up and someone in that car farts, it blows you ALL over the road.

small but zippy

The car had over 150,000 miles when I bought it and I knew I would have repairs to be made. I dislike the dealer since they tried to hide some items. I already knew where I would take it to be fixed and knew I would get good service so that helped. The car is small which is what I wanted but it is really a 2 seater. There is really not enough room in the back seat for anyone but many a child to sit. Other than that, the car gets good millage. All the gadgets: heater, air, seats, etc. work well and the car is very comfortable for me. It is fun to drive.

serviceable low cost

Stands up well and has minimum repairs. It is not a fun ride. It was inexpensive to buy and has been paid off for years. It could have been six inches longer in the hutchback so my bicycle would have easily fitted in.

I love my car!

I absolutely love my car! I bought my 2008 Yaris brand new, and now almost ten years later it has almost 120,000 miles on it. I have kept it maintained with oil changes every 5,000 miles and basic tires and such, but have not had a single major problem. The gas mileage is awesome, and because I am short, I just feel like it "fits" me.I have driven it from Texas to the east coats several times (4 or 5?), and it is great on the urban freeways of everyday life. And don't get me started on how great it is in a parking lot!! I love the hatchback for loading and unloading groceries or luggage. I am looking forward to driving it for ANOTHER 120K!

Love my tiny car!

I bought my Yaris used. I got it about 2 and half years ago. When I bought it the seller told me it had been in an accident. I still bought it like that, turned out that it had been a total loss and it was repaired. Well, even after that it runs with no problems! I have given it regular maintenance; oil changes and recently replaced the battery. Gives me about 30mpg and never go over $20 to fill the tank. LOVE LOVE LOVE my Yaris. It has taken me to a lot of places. I got it with 92k miles on it, now 2 and a half years later with 114k miles still runs without issues. I have carried a lot of things on my 2 door car like a settee bench (lol). Yes, I know! Definitely recommend the Yaris!

One of the best choices I ever made

In 2011, I walked into a dealership to buy a car and I was adamant on getting a cheaper car but the dealer sold me on the Yaris. His words, "I will sell you a car you'll remember me for several years from now." 6 years down the line, am glad I bought it.
