Hey, My 2007 Yaris just turned over 100,000 miles
Still running like a champ - knock on wood.

The only thing I have had to replace was the water pump. I have put new tires on and bought a new battery.

This is really good little car so far.

1. That's a lot of miles on a 4 year old car
Do you have a long commute to work?

8. LOL! Well, to be fair I live in Chicago, work at home, have a commuter train, two el (subway)
Edited on Mon Aug-23-10 10:51 AM by grace0418
stops, and six major bus lines all within a 2-8 minute walk from my house. Plus there's a neighborhood square down the block with a small grocery, bookstore, bakery, coffee shop, bank, gift shops, apothecary, drug store and several restaurants. I actually should drive less than I do considering. But I used to drive more when I had a commute. And I have to drive to Trader Joe's because I buy too much stuff. :) If the farmer's market in my hood had more organic produce, I wouldn't drive to the one I go to on Saturdays either.

:hi:

13. ah, now that make sense!
I'm in the sticks, and no public transportation. A taxi to town costs me $35.

9. I'm a petsitter. I drive a lot.
When I'm busy I can do 300 miles a day.

This has been a good little car. Costs me about $25 to fill up and I can go about 300 miles on a tank of gas.

We had a bad winter last year and I managed to get where I needed to be. The only trouble I really had was on Xmas day when we had a blizzard. I got stuck a couple of times but the snow was pretty deep - at least for our area.

11. We have a 2002 Toyota Corolla
with 162,000 miles on it. We're looking to sell or trade it in, though, as we have two small cars and want something a bit bigger.
