  1. Do the oil change yourself with good oil....it'll run mega miles!

  2. Mine was awesome! 2002 1.3L here in the UK was brilliant, 49mpg best. Changed the TYPE4 fluid only once halfway through my 13 yrs ownership,well drained & re filled twice in a week as i got a 5L bottle that does each drain of 2.2L. Got it on 2008 till 2021.

  4. The seats on my 2002 were terrible too, i liked the dashboard layout, here in the UK i had a 1.3L 4sp auto 49mpg best! The ride wasn't the best,it was more of a city car, i got a 2015 Yaris now & it's much better, ride,comfort fuel.

  6. Servicing is cheap & easy...parts everywhere & easy to fit.

  7. Here in the UK i had a 2002 Yaris (1NR-FE) 1.3L 4sp auto with 65,000m (with 10w30 for 1st 4yrs then 5w30 onwards) for 13yrs! 90,000m when i sold it. Utterly reliable & a brilliant car,just exhaust & brake pads over the years, did the serpentine belt once 2 yrs on with reg oil changes,Prestone coolant every 4yrs with the P/S fluid,brake fluid only once 6 yrs into ownership, changed the auto box straight away with TYPE4 fluid twice in a week as explained below on my next Yaris. Had no bad rust at all as i sprayed everywhere with WD40 3x a year,the rear beam tends to go out but i looked after mine.....many other cars fail it's MOT (Yearly inspection). I really used copper grease on wheel nuts & contact surface of rotors & rear drums regularly,brake fluid spray properly the WD40 the drum springs. But the road tax was £150 a year thou, it was tough! Best 49mpg just ONCE. Now got a 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT 88,000m FTSH (Full Toyota Service History)...£30 a year road tax 😃 with 88,000m best 58mpg a few times. Did the CVT fluid straight away.... twice,got a 5L genuine fluid Toyota FE & drained it x2 in a week,it holds 2.2L on each drain & i got the 5L bottle at £65. Servicing is cheap & the ride comfort is much better. Only 1.5L here in the UK is the Hybrid i think, but they're like £2,000 more! Don't go for the real high spec Yaris unless you can afford to replace anything that goes wrong! UK spec can be over the top! I got a lower end Icon model. I didn't like the look of the MK2 Yaris but happy with my MK3,drives smooth as silk! Not poky of quick as it's a fuel efficient car,the CVT does have a power button which is handy.

  9. Had one like yours, 2002 1.3L 4sp auto here in the UK for 13yrs, just replaced the belt,brakes & exhaust. Water pump never done, just used Prestone coolant every 4 yrs & good decent oil (Magnatec 5w30) 49mpg best.

  11. Think they're based off the Mazda,the rear wheel bearings are quite weak, rear window mister/de fogger can stop working as the copper wire are very thin indeed....also where the water hose goes to the rear washer the rubber bung sitting on/in the boot can corrode....i put grease there.
