Toyota Yaris 2

In the second generation, the revolution did not take place. The manufacturer decided to improve the already good predecessor. At the same time, despite some similarities, the Toyota Yaris 2 was a completely new car, as it was based on a more modern platform. In terms of its dimensions, Toyota Yaris is inferior in length to its main competitors: Volkswagen Polo - 15 cm, and Fiat Grande Punto - as much as 28 cm. The small dimensions of the body did not prevent to accommodate a very spacious and practical interior. One of the main advantages is the longitudinally adjustable rear seat. Depending on its position, the trunk of the Toyota Yaris can hold from 272 to 363 liters of luggage. The seat back angle shall be adjusted to a limited range. If necessary, the back sofa can be completely folded. The only drawback is a short seat, only 45 centimeters. Toyota Yaris was available in two bodies – 3-door and 5-door hatchback. Of course, the second option prevails. The sporty version of the 1.8 TS was not popular due to lack of performance. In the United States and many developing countries, the sedan was also offered. For such a small car, the proportions are very harmonious. The most common sedan in combination with a 1.5-liter engine and automatic transmission. All sedans were assembled in Japanese factories, and hatchbacks were also assembled in France. The cabin is dominated by dark colors and hard plastics, unpleasant to the touch and prone to scratches. After a few years of operation, some owners note the appearance of creaks. However, the interior is very practical. Attention deserves a large number of different compartments: two for the front passenger and one in an unusual place - behind the wheel. Are they convenient to use? This can be argued and talked about for a long time. A lot of small things are easy to hide under the trunk floor. Unlike the first generation, the Yaris II is well equipped. The basic version of the Terra is equipped with a CD player, power steering and ABS. However, he was deprived of air conditioning. The flagship version has body colored mirrors. The steering wheel is covered with leather, can be adjusted in two planes, and has a tape recorder control button.

Engines

At first glance, the range of engines Toyota Yaris 2 is the same as in the first generation. But there's actually more change. The place of the 4-cylinder unit with a working volume of 1.0 liters was taken by a 3-cylinder unit of the KR series of the same volume and a power of 70 hp. There are no claims to its reliability and efficiency. However, the vibrations characteristic of this engine are felt in the cabin. Besides, the engine's too noisy. At large runs, the engine begins to take oil - the piston rings wear out. It could be a pump. The engine chain is as strong as any other engine, except for the 1.8 TS. The other four-cylinder engines. In Yaris, you can find 1. 3 VVT-i and 1. 33 VVT-i. The first was installed from the beginning of production until the fall of 2008. Its designation is 2SZ-FE. The engine was borrowed from Daihatsu. In 2008, it was replaced by 1.33 VVT-i with the marking 1NR-FE. In comparison with its predecessor, the working volume increased from 1298 cm3 to 1329 cm3. Technically, it’s a completely different engine. Among other things, hydraulic pushers and exhaust valve adjustment systems were used (previously, the VVT-i controlled only intake valves). Both 4-cylinder gasoline engines are reliable and durable. Only 1.33 VVT-i sometimes increases oil consumption. The reason is the wear of piston rings, which occurs with large runs. The problem is caused by the use of very liquid oil SAE 0W-20, which Toyota prescribed to this engine. For large runs, a diesel 1.4 D-4D is best suited.

T-Sport

In the first generation of Yaris sports version of the T-Sport was equipped with a 4-cylinder engine of 1.5 liters and 110 hp. For fans of hotter was provided turboversion 1.5 recoil 150 hp.

In the second generation, the sports version appeared two years late. Under its hood placed 1.8 VVT-i capacity of 133 hp. initially with a 5-speed gearbox, and since the fall of 2008 - 6-speed. The engine belonged to the ZR series and was equipped with a system of smooth control of the height of the Valvematic valves. After 100,000 km, the chain of the valve timing was often stretched, which was accompanied by a hum. Sometimes oil consumption has increased, but the problem is not as acute as in the predecessor of the ZZ series.

Transmission

On Yaris put mechanical and robotic transmissions, a variator and a 4-speed automatic. Machines with automated (robotic) transmission MMT (Multi Mode Transmission) are actively offered in Europe. Initially, the robot was a 5-speed, and later became a 6-speed.

MMT does not have a good reputation among motorists. Its reliability is a concern. However, no specific defects were identified. The clutch of the robot is different from the clutch of the manual transmission, and its resource is small. Replacing the clutch is a time-consuming process.

Before you buy Yaris with MMT, the box needs to be thoroughly tested. A properly working robot behaves like an automatic with a hydrotransformer. For example, after releasing the brake pedal, the car must start moving slowly without adding gas.

The presence of problems may be indicated by impacts during switching or too long a change of gear. In case of a breakdown of MMT repair will not be cheap - about 80 000 rubles.

Until November 2008, the 1.4 D-4D was combined with a reliable 5-speed manual transmission. After that, he got an upgraded 6-speed mechanics, the same as in Auris. After 250,000 km, there was often noise caused by a faulty bearing of the primary shaft of the box. The bearing is unique, so it had to be bought as an original part.

Walking

Yaris clearly shows that the next platform does not necessarily imply a new design of the running gear. The suspension remained almost the same. For example, the front lower triangular arms and subframe were inherited. Only the front stabilizer of transverse stability was no longer attached to the levers. It was connected to shock absorbers by long racks. At the same time, springs and shock absorbers were updated.

In the original, only levers are available in the collection. However, suppliers offer both a ball support and both Silentblocks separately (for example, Nipparts). It is worth noting that the suspension Jaris is characterized by durability, except for the stabilizer racks.

Silent blocks for rear axle levers, on the contrary, are available even in the original. You will never need them because they have a lot of resources.

In the steering is used an electric amplifier, the electric motor of which is located on the steering column.

Other problems and malfunctions

Toyota is famous for expensive spare parts. But in the case of the Toyota Yaris, this is not the case. The cost of spare parts is average for this price range. There are not many substitutes for the original details. The brake system elements are quite expensive. But there is no need to save on safety. Good quality components are very effective, despite the drum brakes at the back. More powerful modifications had disc brakes on the rear axle. Sometimes there was a creak behind, the cause of which was drum brakes or wheel bearings. The greatest costs require a set of clutch restyled versions with an engine of less than 1.3 liters. For new models - it is 15 000 rubles, for older - 8 000 rubles. In cars with manual transmission from time to time there was a creak when pressing the clutch pedal. There are several reasons, including lack of lubrication. The problem is eliminated sequentially, and the replacement of the clutch cylinder is an extreme measure. An unexpected surprise was the corrosion of cars after restyling. Until 2009, the Toyota Yaris didn’t rust at all. In later versions, small red dots were found in the most unexpected places, for example, on the hood. Yaris was among the cars affected by the Takata airbag scandal. There was a risk of moisture entering the gas generator and its unauthorized activation. The pillows were changed during the recall campaign. In the studies conducted by DEKRA specialists, the model took the second place among the smallest cars with a mileage of 100-150 thousand km. In TUV reports, the Japanese compact earned 8th place in the age category under 7 years.

The Toyota Yaris is relatively expensive. You can buy a much larger car for the price. But if you don’t have to transport three children on vacation, Yaris can meet 90% of the needs of a family. However, the city compact is quite competitive with classmates. In addition, Jaris is one of the most interesting proposals. Few cars over the age of 8 years can boast high reliability and a small loss of value. The only drawbacks: the appearance of corrosion on the body and a small number of substitutes for original spare parts. But if the first problem only picks up, the second will soon disappear.
