Yaris 2007. The only things we needed to change on it in 5 years were filters, tyres, brake pads (previous owner braked a lot), a corroded brake line (previous owner kept it outside), and a stolen windshield wiper (including arm), for which we used one from a defunct Citroen C3 (had to use a saw to make it fit).

The aluminum engine is great for fuel efficiency, and the chain transmission instead of belt is convenient.
