    Good reliable car, the TR is UK spec so I take it that it's a UK import. The 1.3 will be marginally less desireable for selling as the 1.0 will appeal more to learner drivers.

    The only problem would be scrotes robbing the catalytic convertor on them, that may or may not be a problem for you depending on where you will be parking it.

    I hear they give some gearbox problems the 2nd generation 1.3 versions and its common in them for 2nd gear to give trouble on the 2nd generation french models.
    I dont know about the jap version.

    Allso I hear it's common for wheel bearings to go on them.
    And they have clutch issues and the A.c can stop working.

    The gearbox problems are ment to be common which I find it hard to believe as toyota have a good reputation for reliability.

    But people say gearbox gives trouble just wanted to know did anyone have one and what was there experiences they had with the car.

    Great car. Well worth getting the 1.3 over the 1.0
    If you could stretch to a 2009, you’d get the newer 1.33 engine which is lovely and smooth and also has a 6 speed gearbox. Makes a lovely car of them.

    I never knew the 2009 yaris on wards had a 6 speed box.

    I got a 2007 1.3 tr 2nd gear is a bit stiff first thing in the morning.

    And if you are driving it for a while second can be a small bit stiff on and off.

    and at times allso a bit notchy.

    Some say it's a common problem with the yaris.

    Just wanted to know if anyone had one and what was there experience. Some say putting in certain gearbox oil has has helped and made there box smoother.

    And has taken away the notchyness.

    I have 75w 90 gl4/gl5 oil in mine.

    Some say there is a oil called royal purple and it works wonders. But to be honest I do not know.

    My car has a new clutch gone into it so it's not a clutch issue.

    As far as I know mine was built in France they were built in Japan and France as far as I know. A guy also said here the 2009 onwards models had a 6 speed box.

    Maybe the boxes were updated in 2009 models to make them better all I know is mine stiff in second at times and is worse first thing in the morning.

    The 6 speed box is quite slick. It’s the same one fitted to the newer Auris but it’s got a nicer change on the Yaris.

    It might even have been 2008 that they came out.

    I had a 1.8 for 8 years and it never gave a days trouble.

    I think the older shape EP Civic 5 speed had some gearbox issues on the 1.4.
    I’ve never heard of the FK Civics giving gearbox trouble (they’re all 6 speed too)

    The 1.4 Civics are quite slow though. Whether you get the i-VTEC or i-DSI they’re both slow.

    I have 2007 1.8 civic for the past 7 years, i never had any trouble with it. The engine is bulletproof, one of the most reliable 4 cylinders petrol, some have done over 1 million km.
    The only things I don't like are the paint quality, the squeaky clutch pedal and the poor radio reception at times.

    And the gearbox is 100% no stiffness or it's not notchy thanks for reply.
