What are some common problems with the Toyota Yaris?

I live in San Francisco and I usually Uber everywhere. Recently, I decided that I could probably save money if I just made a monthly car payment and paid for gas rather than use Uber. The Toyota Yaris is compact and fuel-efficient, but I’m worried that I might get a lemon. Are there any common problems with the Toyota Yaris?

  • Faulty air bag inflation, which can cause injuries in a crash
  • A bad engine mount, which can cause the car to shake excessively at speeds over 40 mph
  • Grinding sounds with the transmission due to a faulty gearbox
