An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

I am a stickler on maintenance and was very disappointed on the driver side drive shaft seal leaking twice! I was not given any reason why this would happened but so far since the last repair it seems all is fine. I change my own oil and was able to notice the problem way before it was serious as I notice an oozing of manual transmission oil around this drive shaft. I have not been able to find this is a common problem though. |

Its a Toyota, simple as that. They are built to last. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I have not had a single problem with the car in the first seven months of ownership. Put gas in, change the oil and it just goes. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Have owned this car for almost three years. NO need to go to the shop at all (oil changes and other routine maintenance has been done at home). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It has a good reputation. I have known many Toyotas to have well over 250,000 miles on them without so much as minor maintenance and a few small repairs. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I have had 3 Toyotas now and all have been trouble free for over 150,000km. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Other than a few minor warranty problems the car is solid. |

Know others who own Toyotas and all are very happy. |

No matinence really. Oil change is about all it needs for 100,000 miles |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Have had ZERO problems in 31,000 miles. |

Toyota has a great reputation for reliability. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I have owned Toyota cars and trucks in the past and have found their engines to be indestructible. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
No problems whatsoever, although its only been 14 months and 10,000 miles so far. Seems solid and well made, for a car in this class. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This car uses the tried and true 1NZ-FE engine and 2nd generation of the C50 transmission, both of which can take a licking and keep on ticking. It enjoys the typical and legendary Toyota legacy of reliability. |
