A friend bought a Yaris about a month before I bought my Toyota Scion XA.

For about $2k more, the Scion seats 4 adults (as opposed to 2) and gets comparable gas mileage. It's been rock solid for the first 30k miles too.

My friend Yaris, on the other hand, was in the shop for weeks after the fuel pump failed. The part was defective, and had to be shipped from Japan.

Hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out for the '08 model.

We bought a 2007 yaris for our college going son last summer, drives , great , great millage.

This may the Ac started leaking into the front passeger side floor, the dealer told him it was a clog onthe line, we paid $150 for repair

Last week it started leaking again , the dealer is charging $1650 to remove the dash panel and unclog the line, they say its not covered by warranty .

Is this a know issue?

I am really disappointed
