Toyota Yaris III 1.0 VVT-i (69 Hp) Hatchback Mileage unknown

Problem: Power Steering

95,000 km car in excellent condition. No breakdowns. Always meticulously maintained. Checked fluids, tire pressure, car washed after every service. Pure joy, unlike my previous Peugeot, which was a distant nightmare in every way. Good handling, good comfort, good maneuverability despite its compact size compared to competitors. Fuel efficiency. Highly recommend this car. It's a Toyota. Enough said.

Pros: Car with 95,000 km in excellent condition., No breakdowns. Always meticulously maintained., Fluid checks, tire pressure, car washed after every service., Pure joy, unlike my previous car.
Cons: Steering feels a bit light on the road., Engine is a bit underpowered and noisy.

Problem: Fragile Paint

Very comfortable car, relatively spacious for its class, good seating, standard boot size for this type of vehicle. Pleasant engine despite a lack of power on hills, reasonable fuel consumption. Good engine access, decent sound system, nice paint but relatively fragile. Overall good finish, no rattles so far (at least no more than in my son's Audi A3 Sportback S line, which is reputed to be exemplary). Very reliable car.

Pros: Very comfortable and relatively spacious for its class, Good seating, Standard boot size for its segment, Pleasant engine, Reasonable fuel consumption, Good engine accessibility, Decent sound system, Nice paint, Good overall finish, No rattles for now, Very reliable
Cons: Fragile paint, Engine a bit weak on hills compared to our old Starlet 1.3, None
