Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Yaris
The 2011 Toyota Yaris is a moderately easy car to maintain. The tail lights are easily accessible behind the trunk lining, which allows for reliable bulb changes when necessary. Both fuse boxes are easy to find and the one in the engine bay comes provided with a fuse puller, so electrical troubleshooting shouldn’t be a problem. The engine air filter has quick and easy access, which makes changing it an all the more reliable process.
However, the 2011 Toyota Yaris does have its downsides. You will need to remove the wheel well lining to access the turn signal and parking lights, which doesn’t facilitate reliable bulb changes. The cabin air filter requires the removal of the glove box and multiple other parts, which can be time-consuming. The brake fluid reservoir is in a cramped location, which makes it a problem to monitor its fluid levels.

If your car blows hot air when your air conditioner is turned on, try recharging the freon first
White light when you back up - yup, they burn out and you can replace them with bright LEDs
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?
Properly inflated tires is the easiest way to improve fuel economy. The right tire pressure is NOT on the side of your tire btw
