I've never thought of writing a review on anything; yet alone, a used car. But, I bought a 2008 Toyota Yaris 2 months ago. I was in a crucial position. I had to find a good, reliable, used car under $8,000, pay in cash, and it has to last me until I die! ☠️ My car, they stopped making, and sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. I've got at least 2 lives depending on this car! My mom is almost 87, I'm 47, on disability, divorced, and I don't even know if my 2 teenage daughters want a relationship with me after 18. All due to my evil ex and his mommy. Even my cat's life depends on this car. So, I did some research, looked at these reviews, and accidentally found my car whom I named "Ashley." Some guy sent me 4 cars that matched what I was looking for. My eyeball went to #2. The guy said he can show it to me the next day. I stalled him cuz I was researching. So, a few days later, my mom and I went to test drive it (I already planned to buy this car). After the ride, I actually added a 2 year warranty just for peace of mind. Thank God, this was from a dealer. Good thing too, that darn engine light was increasing my anxiety. So, I took the car to AutoZone. I don't think many people know this, but they can check your engine light, battery, recharge your battery and basically do a diagnostic for FREE! I went back on another day and got the same result which was the EVAP canister. I took it to my dealer and they said this looks brand new! So, I took it back one more time, they gave me a $40,000 rental car, and the next day, my car passed the DEQ test! All they did was brush off the container and drive it around, then FINALLY! No lights come on, and I just feel so blessed right now. The other 3 cars I later found out were stick. I happened to pick the only automatic. The weird thing though is the speedometer, console etc. is in the middle. So, that's something I gotta get used to. The cupholders are on the left and right, but I don't care. Just something to get from point A to B so I don't miss appointments or emergencies. I ❤️ this car! I got really lucky, and adding that warranty was worth it. Oh, this had 171,000 miles, and it's still going. Use at least 87 octane for gas, do those oil checks, and get the save and drive beacon from State Farm. If you drive like a pro, you can save some money on your car insurance....

Bought my first 2007 Yaris in summer of 2006. My first ever cash purchase for a new car. $15,000. Gas MPG ,38-43. Hit a deer when it had 191,000 miles and paid $6,000 out of packet to get it repaired (Saved of $10,000 by not having interest or full coverage). Hit a big dog at 268,000 miles and totaled it. I cried like a baby. Had comprehensive so they paid me more than enough to get another one. Only repair ever was an alternator. Searched and found a 2008 model with 204,000 (same red color but more bells and whistles). Can't beat the 2007-2012 Yaris.

Haven't had any issues with this car since I bought it used about 6 months ago. The baby needs a new alternator, water pump, suspension work and new suspension bushes (roads are bad from where I come). Other than that? Starts up everyday and doesn't complain even when I push it to it's limits. The interior is bland and there are barely any features but xxxxxxx is it easy to fix and barely anything can break tbh. Needs a new sound system and I hate the interior squeaks. But overall, it's a small commuter car that's meant for the cities that works surprisingly well on highways and is very xxxxing reliable.

My yaris has 305,000 miles on it and is still going strong. It may not look pretty as it has been in desert sun since w-I when bought but still runs like a champ. Still never replace anything other than normal maintenance, tires, battery normal stuff

Easy on Gas. Manual transmission and peppy. Stable on highway @ 80 mph. Comfortable. I wish it had cruise. Almost 180, 000 and runs like new.

This car is really reliable, Gas saver, wonderful car to have and the only reason I am selling mine is my family size require bigger size car.

I bought a 2008 Toyota Yaris with 98,000 miles when I was in college, and only just sold it, 7 years later. In that time, I have driven it 100,000 miles with no major work ever needed. It is reliable, very gas-efficient, and fits a remarkable amount of stuff with the back seats down. Not the most comfortable for back-seat passengers. I couldn't believe that I had to sell it for so cheap, even at 189,000 miles. I couldn't recommend the Yaris more strongly for anyone needing a good, cheap car.

I’ve never owned a car Abby as a friends friend asked to check their vehicles out and I loved the Yaris he showed Me greatly recommended
