Toyota Yaris 2009 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota Yaris 2009 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Best first car options?
Do not buy a Cruze, or buy a European brand. They will prove costly. It's best to go for the cars that are well proven over many years. The Lancer is a good one, but so too is the Toyota Yaris or Corolla, Suzuki Swift, Mazda2 or 3, or Mitsubishi Colt.

Yaris servicing problems
You are assuming that the problems have come about as a result of the work done on the car under the recall. While it is possible that you are correct, you cannot be sure until the problems are diagnosed. If the problems are a result of something the dealer has done then they should be responsible for fixing it; if they are not caused by what the dealer did then you would be responsible. First, you need to establish the cause of your problems, and then you can deal with them.

First car for 22 year old
Most modern cars would be perfectly fine for your country commuting, that's not really an issue like it was in the past where it was felt you needed a six-cylinder car at least to handle the long distance, higher-speed cruising. Smaller cars like the Yaris or Mazda2 are perfect for city use; they're small, manoeuvrable, easy to park, safe and cheap to run. A larger car, like the Mazda3 would be a little more comfortable for a longer journey. It would also have better performance, but being larger is a little more difficult to park, and would cost more to run. For your money you could get a 2008/2009 Mazda3, which would also be a good buy. For mine, I would go for the smaller car, the Yaris or the Mazda2.

Short Trip Yaris
You'd expect the fuel consumption to increase if you are doing only very short trips where the car would hardly warm up, but I still wouldn't expect it to climb to 11 litres/100 km or more. The city average claimed for the Yaris is 7.6 litres/100km, so I'd expect it to be no more than 9 litres/100km in a heavy stop-start, short-trip situation. Have your car checked by a dealer.
