I bought a new Yaris Port Hybrid this year. Back in 1974 when a school friend’s dad rocked up in a funny little thing - a rare thing too in the UK, a Toyota (Corolla) - having chopped in his Ford for it….well, we all laughed at it.<br>“You’ll all be driving them at some stage in your life: they’re here to stay and they’re great.”I advised him I’d not be seen dead in one.<br>So now I’m on my 7th Toyota, big ones, fast ones and small ones. All without exception 100% trouble free.<br>I’ve had Fiat, Ford, Alfa, Volvo, Audi, VW, Citroen, Lancia, Renault, even a Triumph way back.<br>All had issues, routine ones. <br>The Toyotas, nothing at all beyond routine servicing.<br>The latest Toyota has a 10 year warranty and is backed by the best dealer experience always.<br>Damn it… my friends dad was right.

So that's why the EU wants to outlaw every single simple car...

Japan 7, Germany Nil.<br><br>If I had the cash to splash on a new car then Mazda 2 Hybrid and Suzuki Swift would be on my test drive list. My 2018 Hyundai i10 has been very good though.

I'm disabled and sadly had to come back to the UK in 2019. I bought a 1.4vvti Corolla hatchback on a 2006 plate, with 2 previous owners and FSH Toyota main dealer. <br><br>I've had it's for over 6yrs, and it's only ever failed its MOT on minor advisories for the most part, never cost more than £470 and that was a mechanic ripping me off on a full set of discs and pads, due to them messing it up putting them in earlier in the year, by not adjusting the handbrake properly which stayed on a bit, costing me a lot of money in fuel and of course brakes! <br><br>Either way, after working in the 'Trade' myself, I'd only buy Japanese cars.

I live in Canada and own 3 vehicles. I have a 2019 Ford Explorer . So far with about 14000 on the odometer, the vehicles is reliable. <br>However, I also own a Mazda CX3 and since buying new in 2017, it has had nothing more than normal maintenance . We have to deal with salt over here.<br>I also have a 2008 Mazda MX5 Miata with an automatic transmission. The vehicle has 128,000 km on the odometer. It has never been driven in the winter and stored under a cover during the cold season. My mechanic services the vehicle and he recently told me apart from a little wear on the seat. The mechanic said the car is basically in brand new condition. <br>you cannot beat Japanese vehicles.......
