2017 Toyota Vitz/Yaris: easy-going hatch with straightforward upkeep

The 2017 Toyota Vitz/Yaris is a tidy, no-fuss hatch that suits city runs and weekend missions alike. Known for frugal fuel use and light steering, it slips into tight parks and keeps running costs down. Inside, it’s practical rather than flashy, with clever storage and easy controls. Whether it’s a used import Vitz or an Aussie-delivered Yaris, the recipe is the same: reliable small-car motoring with enough tech to keep daily driving simple.

Under the bonnet, the 1.3- or 1.5-litre petrol is built to last, provided regular servicing isn’t skipped. Most owners in Australia and New Zealand stick to roughly 10,000–15,000 kilometre oil changes, using the right viscosity and a quality filter. Brakes, tyres, and wipers are straightforward to replace, and parts availability is excellent across both markets. CVT models benefit from periodic fluid checks, while manuals appreciate fresh gearbox oil at sensible intervals.

Key upkeep to keep it sweet includes:

• Engine oil and filter: change regularly
