My older brother gave this 2008 hatchback Yaris 1.5 (AT) to me

Factory brakes???

Wow that’s just getting broken in!

I have a 2006 Yaris yr 1.3 I call him Turbo.

Lovely color!!! What is it called?

Second that rear axles rust, clean it up, squirt fluid film inside it. I had welded mine up after it looked like the picture.

He left it on empty? What a dick /s.

That’s a huge win for you, and yes it might outlast you.

These cars are super reliable, I’d still be driving mine if I wouldn’t have totaled it :weary_face:.

Not sure why your bro is into Hello Kitty, but that’s a great first car! Don’t be lazy or cheap to do proper maintenance. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.

You do realize they used to rally race Yaris in the UK back in ’99? I am on my 3rd and it’ll run forever if you make sure it has its regular maintenance.

Mine has 230k miles and is starting to have transmission issues. Yours will last forever at this point.

Ultimate driving machine.
