Made in Japan excellence with some Toyota scrimping & dealer mediocrity
Yaris XP210 ZR HybridI wanted a small car to complement our 4WD and could not see the sense in getting a conventional internal combustion engine car - so explored hybrid small car options. The Yaris Cross outsells the standard Yaris (the one I am reviewing) by about five to one. We didn't choose the Cross because its power to weight was not very sharp, it had a larger turning circle, and what I considered sub-standard ride and handling. Also, we usually buy white cars but didn't like the ‘metallic only’ paint options on the Cross, because it is difficult to touch
... Read moreup, and metallic white looked no better on the Cross than the plain white on the Yaris. We purchased the Yaris Hybrid ZR (top of the line) in April 2021, and did not get much change out of $34,000, which is a lot to pay for a small, plain looking car. The ‘top of the line’ provides some additional safety features, tarted-up cosmetic trim, and a slightly larger wheel size. After 14 months ownership with much city driving, along with a handful of longer trips (eg: 100 km each way on the highway), I am ready to let people know what we think about owning and driving this car. I am pleased we paid the extra $3,000 extra for the hybrid because the fuel economy has continually been 3.5L/100km; this is about half the fuel consumption of previous small cars we have had. With the price of fuel increasing about 50% in the last 15 months we will more quickly recoup this extra $3,000. It runs on 91 octane petrol, and the 12 months servicing cost is around $200. The effortless low-down torque hybrid system makes driving the Yaris Hybrid ZR feel like we are driving a larger car, and it has less engine noise than most small engine, constant variable-transmission vehicles. We find the car sufficiently powerful on the highway, it quickly pulls away at the lights, it corners well, and is smooth and easy to drive. The ride is good, and because the wheels are at the extremities, it doesn't scrape on driveways.Purchased in for $33,900.

Great solid zippy little car
Yaris XP90 Hatch YRS (2005-2011)Very happy with my Yaris YRS, I can’t fault it. It performs well at highway speed it’s zippy around town, the 1.5lt has ample power, and the auto works really well. Build quality seems good too. I have driven many Yaris models over the years and always found them fun to drive, and easy to live with. I’m getting good economy around 6-6.5lt/100kms. These cars are very reliable, and the 1.3/1.5lt engines have been known to go for a long time.
Very impressed.

I can't believe my luck
Yaris XP130 Ascent (2011-2023)I use the car for city driving mostly.
I drive it 3 or 4 times a week.
I get the car serviced according to the manufacturer's recommendations at a Toyota dealership from which I bought it second hand (one previous owner). They rotate the wheels, change the brake fluid etc...and usually charge me $200 plus.
It is a 2015 model and has done 82,240 km
It has never broken down
It looks like new, inside and out (I keep it in the garage)
I checked and, with the recent increase in car prices, this model has not depreciated in value in the almost 4 years since I bought it for $10,880.

Yaris XP130 Hatch SX (2011-2023)My new Toyota Yaris is 7.5 months old and already done 52000kms ! It is a dream to drive and with added safety features compared to my old Yaris I am very happy with this car. If you are looking for a small car you can’t go past this car!

The most reliable car I have ever had!
Yaris XP90 Sedan YRS (2005-2016)When people say "You can't kill a Toyota!", I now definitely believe them! After having a HORRIBLE experience with a 2014 Holden Captiva (ended up being a complete Lemon having to sell for scrap only 5 years later), I bought a new 2014 2WD Toyota Yaris from a Toyota Dealer (my version is Made in Japan). It's amazingly reliable. I have been on 4WD tracks with it, and it survived, and I only had to replace the Engine Mounts once (which indicate heavy offroad use, in NSW State Forests!), and it has NEVER seized! I am going to drive it until it
... Read morefinally dies, which is hopefully never! Very fuel efficient too. And when it dies, I'm only going to ever buy a Toyota. This example of even a Yaris having virtual indestructability has sold me on Toyota's for life!Purchased in at Toyota Dealers for $26,990.

Economical little car
Yaris XP130 Hatch YRS (2011-2014)I mainly use my car to and from work. Sometimes, I use my car to deliver food casually.
I find this car fuel-efficient and it does not require huge amounts of money to service.
this car is one of the best little cars for a daily commute and it is most reliable as it is a Toyota.

Terrible clear coat/paint peeling after only 5 years. No help from Toyota!
Yaris XP130 Hatch YR (2011-2014)Red Yaris 9 years old, 63,000kms. Looks terrible, clear coat peeled in patches, requires $5000 paint fix. Regular carpark survey shows it's very common problem. Looks terrible makes car worthless.

Good for what it is
Yaris XP90 Hatch YRS (2005-2011)It's no V8 or V6 so the handling and comfort can be a serious downgrade especially if you are driving on Melbourne's horribly maintained highways. Going over bumps and potholes and shoddy roads is way more noticeable.
Biggest driving issue is the front window does tend to fog up easily.
Negatives out the way. Planned on just using this as a stop over car in 2020-2021 and selling but I've been happy with it so far. Happy enough that I intend to keep it for at least 5 years anyway. Most issues are cheap to repair and I expect if you are car
... Read moresavvy you will be truly laughing at how easy things are to repair. It's tiny so it is easy to park. Fuel economy is great. I think it's anywhere from 5.5-7.2l/100km. The sound system is actually decent.Purchased in .

Paint started peeling
Yaris XP130 Hatch YR (2011-2014)Car used for commuting to work. Mainly parked under cover.
Car used approx 5 days per week
Serviced as per schedule
No mechanical issues
Issue with paint peeling at approx 6 years old. Peeling all along bottom of back window and spots of peeling paint on roof and bonnet. It is the clear coat that is peeling. Can see this has occurred with many yaris cars by looking at other complaints online.

Wonderful little bus
Yaris XP90 Hatch YR (2005-2011)Bought a 2006 4 door hatchback for $2000 a year ago and have been over the moon with how it's been. Reliable, zippy enough to get around without any fuss, fantastic fuel economy regardless of whether it's city or highway driving. Surprisingly spacious for a small car, i have fit bikes in the boot with the seats down. I like the digital dash as well, makes it feel more modern than it is. Initially I bought it as a stop gap but have no intention of selling it any time soon.

Questions & Answers
I am considering buying a 2022 toyota yaris ZR petrol as my first car and was wondering how it handles highway driving. And how the boot will fair for packing for say a week long holiday like would i need to fold the seats down to be able to fit that amount of luggage in? Also how the claimed fuel figures compare to real life fuel figures? Thanks!
How can I get information on Toyota Yaris 21 model hatch and the features on it. the booklet is in Japanese and the dealer said there is no brochurs on them anymore.
