2005 Toyota Yaris reviews

Toyota Yaris T3 D4D 2005

I purchased my Yaris D4D T3 in Sept 2010 with 27,000 on the clock from a Ford main dealer. As of Jan 2012, the mileage is now 58,000. The car is used for a 100 mile commute most days on a mixture of A road and city roads. Reliability: Front and rear suspension bushes changed at 38,000 changed under warranty (Ford direct warranty). Costs: Best ever fuel consumption at 68 miles per gallon with the average being 58 miles per gallon. Servicing: At 10,000 mile intervals servicing comes around quite quickly with my mileage. Comfort: The car is fine for 2 hour journeys, but so far I have not been further. IT is a bit noisy on tick over, but the seat and interior build are fine. Dealers: I have found the Toyota main dealer fine and not any more expensive than other main dealers we use for the other family cars (Kia and Nissan). Conclusion: More than happy with the Yaris. My wife keeps borrowing it and she loves driving it and now wants to change her car to a Verso too. The  reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the suspension bushes at 38,000 cost £400!
