Toyota Yaris (1999-2026) Questions & Answers

external link 

Hi you could ask it dealer not product review.

Thanks, real helpful.

Generally speaking Yaris is a great car. I have never owned 2019 model onwards, so can't comment here.

I'm not sure Bout later models. That's a few kms on it. Depends how much it is. Mine is 2018 and it's been very good so far I'm at 10,000kms and have had no issues

I don't work for Toyota so have no idea about that one. Hopefully someone can help you.

You would have to check with Toyota as I don't have any idea about these things.

Ok thanks

You should be able to delete any or all previous connections. I am not driving the Yaris as I have passed it to my son but it was pretty easy to delete when I fiddled with the display, Just play with the buttons on the display and you’ll soon discover the delete button.

Unfortunately there's a lemon every now and then, even with luxury cars... It's just one of the few cases where it got past their quality control checks.

Hi mate.. I am not a mechanic so that I can tell you what exactly is happening to your car, however, you can ask for a replacement car from Toyota dealer for going to work for free . I guess, you still have warranty left...good luck n hope you will get your car back soon.. cheers

Unable to answer the mechanical questions - a pity as Toyota are usually very reliable. Have noted that sometimes motor does not kick with key ON. Place foot on brake and make sure auto is properly in park. Then good to go . The Yaris is definitely not a power plant.

PS how come a new car with 2015?

To Chuck 48. The Yaris is a 2015 model. Toyota later told me that it was the fuel I put in my car was poor quality. I don't use cheap fuel. Not sure if this is crap or not from Toyota.

sometimes you can get bad fuel whether it has water in it or it's a bad batch, bad fuel can actually destroy a motor in some cases. did you have any more trouble with it after they looked at it and do you still have the car.

Depends on series (eg Y --) and badge ( eg Ascent).

Also auto. vs manual and Km's but in good nick $8 - 10K.

You can check Carsales also or if access to Glass's guide.

Depends on: single owner or second/ third owner, odometer, car’s interior n exterior condition( scratches, dings etc), any accidents, log book maintain, rego left...think from buyers point of view, I have noticed so many overpriced private vehicle in Carsales n gumtree,,,and they have been since ages... and some genuine car and reasonable priced gets sold in the same days it’s advertised..hope this helps.. good luck

Let’s Assume it’s a Yaris auto, 5 door automatic transmission, kms 60,000, single owner , log book well maintained, normal wear n tear with age, 6 months/ 5 months rego left, tyres in good condition,: 1) $9,000( Good price from your POV)..2) $8,000-8700( moderate 50 50), 3) $ 7000-7500( good from buyer POV).. If you look for quick sale then you get around $ 7000... keep in mind... you are one who need cash and seller always loose... if you go with dealer they are the worst...hope this one helps too

Personally, I would keep the Yaris. However, I would use Full-Synthetic Oil.

I had a 2010 VW Polo before. This was the BIGGEST BIT of CRAPP I've

ever had in the Last 55 Years or So!!!!!!

Hi Natalie, Although I'm no expert it sounds like your problem may be electrical. Just another suggestion, if you are a member of the RACV they have a technical department who can give you advice might be worth a try. sorry for your trouble.

Hi

Need more details. How many kms travelled, auto or manual, what size engine? Graham.

That is a small car / what you could try is going to other online forums as well

Sory forgot to mention, its a sedan. but thanks, ill look into it

Or you could try comparing prices to other cars similar for sale in magazines or online sites such as gumtree Australia on the internet

Hi, I know this post is quite old now but just wanted to say I think that price is too much. Is it a sedan or hatchback? I will be selling my 2011 Yaris hatchback in the next 6 months. It's done 70,000km and the going price for same year etc is around 8-10k. So I think that price is too high :)

Hey kat. This post is old and i have already purchased a car. Thanks. All the best.

Good question. Normally the answer will be found in the Owner's Manual however, if your manual is like mine, Toyota do not provide the oil specification for the transmission. Never mind, you have two options available:

1. Purchase the oil from your local Toyota dealership letting them select the correct (and maybe superior) oil for you, or

2. more work for you but likely a less costly option is to purchase from your local spare parts supplier, Repco or Supercheap are two that come to mind but use whoever you prefer. Generally these suppliers have a lube chart in the store which you can look up for the correct oil. Alternatively, before you visit the store, visit the website for your preferred oil brands and then look for a link to their lubrication guide. With a bit of drilling down you well get the information you need. Here are links to three different oil brands to get you started.

Please note my answer is general in nature only and before purchasing/using any oil brands you should consult the appropriate suppliers for the information required,.
