Hey, I saw Yaris hatchback in Canada with 4 doors. Why don't they introduce it in US?? It'll make immense sense to do so!!! (check the canadian Toyota web) Best Regards

Replying to: maulikgp (May 19, 2008 1:23 pm) I'm in Canada and have been driving my '07 5-door (yes, handy indeed - I have a small child) mostly happy with its performance. I've found it's a particularly economical and practical city car (I spend around $50 CAN/month on fuel for weekday inner-city commuting and weekend hwy getaways) but I find it revs high above 90 km/hr and chugs rather than sips fuel on hwy trips. Overall, though, especially with the cost of fuel now, I'm quite happy with my car and my local Toyota dealer. I'm itching to tow, though. I understand the torque restricts anything too heavy but if euroeans are towing 2000 lbs breaked and in Canada we can tow up to 700 lbs, I'm miffed with the difference. I'd love to hear from anyone who has towed a teardrop camper, lightweight pop-up or other... |

Bought a 2007 Yaris 5 door hatchback, like it except found I could not rest my foot on the gas pedal without it wanting to move, so had to tilt my ankle back to keep my foot off which was uncomfortable. Toyoto said nothing they can do so I cut off about 2 inches of pedal which takes off enough leverage that I can now rest my foot comfortable. We like the car and bought a second one and did the same thing. The only other thing I notice is that when you put it in reverse you get a vibration from under the dash that sounds like something is loose. Other than that, all is well.

Replying to: dumcrief (Jun 22, 2008 8:24 am) Toyota must have gotten complaints about this because when I filled out our new owner survey they specifically asked if this was a problem. It's not just a small car thing either, b/c my Echo's pedals are in a seemingly normal position in relation to one another and compared to any other vehicles of differing sizes I've driven lately. But I get into the Yaris and I have to make a conscious effort to adjust my foot. Weird. |

I have a few odd things happening with my 2008 Yaris Hatchback Automatic. When I turn the key the starter motor turns and th engine starts, if I release the parking brake the car moves, if I turn the steering wheel while driving the car goes a different direction and when stopping if I put my foot on the brakes it comes to a stop. I'm worried that I have a lemon?

Replying to: seerialmom (Dec 08, 2006 10:39 am) I got a permanent maker and filled in the places where the chips are then I wax over it with a dab of NU FINISH....the chips disappear and I am happy...but I wax my car every three months with NU FINISH and they look brand new... Easy to put on easy to take off...I think its Teflon.....Look around the parking lots whenyou go somewhere does your car need a wax job? all of them did but mine...and if you wax the front end on a trip with NU Finish..the bugs won't stick... |

Replying to: homeriq5 (Dec 15, 2006 1:14 pm) I would prefer now to own a Mazda 3 which is much more poerful and comfy than the yaris. If you could get someone to check your diagnostic codes that would help. |
