Toyota Yaris Verso 2004

2 star review

I have had quite a few problems with my Yaris Verso. First it needed a water pump at approximately 36,000 miles, then at 40, 000 miles the drive shafts needed replacing. Now at 47,000 miles I have had to have three relays replaced to get the cooling fan working. I also had to have an electrician at Stephen Eagells look at the lighter because the connection was intermittent. hen I got the motor back the c/d player wasn’t working although I had been using the player while I was taking the motor in to the garage. Apart from this the ride is good and the cabin well thought out and comfortable. But I certainly will not buy another Toyota.

Toyota Yaris Verso Manual GLS 2002

5 star review

This is the most amazing little ’big’ car! We have owned it since new and it’s now on 190,000 miles! Maintenance has been cheap; serviced at regular intervals and that’s about it! So it’s not pretty, but who cares. What it lacks in looks it gains in versatility. We’ve driven to the south of France several times, visited the local tip with huge amounts of garden rubbish and travelled to work it in our reliable ’Verity’!! It’s been called other names; Postman Pat’s Hearse, the bread van etc, etc.,but everyone loves it when they need something large transporting. My biggest disappointment is that Toyota stopped making them in 2006 or we’d be looking to buy a new one!

Toyota Yaris Verso 2001

4 star review

This car fits smack for the city people like my family. Has lots of space for family of 2 kids. Not too big to park in the tightest spaces and it’s economical to drive. Quality stands out in every aspect : this is my 2nd Yaris Verso and am looking for a 3rd. Never had any problem with these cars. I’ve had one in northern Europe and freezing winters never stopped this car, also in southern Europe where I live now the car I’ve had no problem. Some say it’s ugly but I love it’s looks. It is a great pity the production stopped in 2008.

Hi Peter, I trust you are well? Many thanks for your post on the Toyota Yaris...I do own one as well. It is an amazing car. It has enough space for the whole family and it does good speeds too. Servicing it is very cheap and it is also fuuel efficient. I have, of late, experienced some problems with mine and I was wondering whether you could be of help. The automatic gears seem to have a problem; when I engage say Drive, it is not able to shift to the higher gears however much I am accelerating. I had to change the Automatic Transmission Fluid but still there is no change. I am now set to have it checked by a mechanic tomorrow. Might you have an idea what the problem might be? Many thanks - Bernard Rono from Kenya
