Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I know the most reliable and best value cars ( in the long term) are Japanese. German cars are over rated & hence over priced. French cars are unreliable. You can't get small Swedish cars, so it's a no brainer !
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's a good value product.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. at 130k miles, the engine still runs like new, doesn't drink oil, and I know I can rely on it.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another Yaris.
