Quality!

I bought a 2011 Yaris with 123k miles on it, and it feels brand new. Oil change is clean, alignment is fine. I love this thing. If your belt squeals like mine did at startup, turn the key slower...…

Best car I've owned.

FOR CONTEXT: * I also own a Camry XLE and a G37x *
I am in love with my 2010 Yaris Sedan 5 Speed Manual, even 10 years later. I am the second owner and bought this car at about 40,000mi (for about $7,500). This car has endured mostly city driving with a few trips cross country, and has been running like clockwork with nothing but basic maintenance, and one clutch replacement done at around 140,000mi. I've carried around tools, furniture, people... you name it, and it has never given me a major issue, never left me stranded on the side of the road, and has always started up on the first try. It's also great on fuel, has plenty of cabin space (enough for four people to sit comfortably), adequate storage (especially with the folding back seats), AC and heat still work great, and the interior has held up exceptionally well, with no cracked or faded dash or door panels. Admittedly, it's rather barebones when it comes to extra features and its overall simple design, but that only adds to its charm. And, it more than makes up for it with it's relatability, affordability and availability of parts, and LACK of things which could break.
I drive my Yaris spiritedly and regularly enjoy pushing this car to its (106hp) limits, and it handles the abuse surprisingly well. From dumping the clutch, ripping the parking brake, and pushing top speed, nothing seems to phase this car. She still shifts like a dream, is fairly comfortable, and capable of long trips without overheating or mechanical issues. Although, on VERY long trips the stock seats can be uncomfortable and the road noise/feel can be fatiguing, but that is to be expected of a vehicle in this class.
I have only done two mods so far which have been huge quality of life improvements. The first one would be installing a rear sway bar (from Toyota for $160) which made a perceivable difference in how the car feels when cornering by reducing body roll and stiffening up the back end. I also installed aftermarket projector headlights as the stock ones do leave much to be desired, and Toyota headlights (of the era) are notorious for fading over time. The ONLY real gripe I have with the Yaris is it's lack of HP, even comparatively with other subcompacts from this era, the Yaris' acceleration can be dissatisfying at times. Understandably, it is a 1.5 liter, inline four, from 1997 that only makes 106hp, but a result, you probably won't be winning many races in a straight line with this car.
In conclusion, despite the underpowered engine, I would still give the Toyota Yaris Sedan (Manual 5 Speed) an excellent rating and would recommend it to anyone looking for a daily that's low maintenance, easy to drive, and going to last a long time, meanwhile still being an enjoyable enough experience. It's a jack of all trades that would make a solid first car, work car, or even just a backup car that you know will start and preform anytime, no matter the weather.
If all else were the same, only the car were faster, it would be an easy 6/5 stars. I've definitely gotten my moneys worth, many times over, with this car. If only I could buy a few more of these...…
