Dude, all those tests and reports are outdated. Yes, back then the CVT from Honda has quite some reliability issues. But that was before 2005. Honda learned the issues hence they sent a team to solve the prob by coming out with a new formula of transmission fluid for their CVT which is the CVTF back in between end of 2004 and early 2005. I have no prob with my CVT coz i been using Honda's CVTF since day one. Mileage to date is 103000km and bought it back in Feb 2005. I pushed my car a lot and changed my CVTF every 20000km serivce. Honda got QC prob? Heck, even i have seen Yaris that rusting and lying around Westport that yet to be release for few months. Even my dad's Benz has it's airbag error check light came switch on after few days of delivering the car to my dad.

oppss, sorry bro to reveal that. Mainly are the bolts n nuts in the engine bay. Not all though, so happen the few units that i saw were in bad condition for a new car due to AP issues that hold the Yaris in their stockyard. Some units even the aircond compressor isnt working, cracked taillight, headlight turned yellowish and etc. Went with my fren from Toyota.

Yea, that batch when the gov making a hoohaa about AP issues and delayed/halted yaris AP.

Dont be, i'm getting the Civic 2.0 soon. Will let you know about the car by then.
