Battery

Was considering replacing my 3 year old Yaris with the hybrid version. Read too many reviews about battery problems, ie drive 500 miles come back after fortnight holiday won’t start flat battery. Advised to start the car and let it run for a hour to maintain charge once a week. I do very little mileage use the car once or twice a week so this doesn’t sound good to me.

I personally have never had a problem with flat battery.

Nor me. Never had any hint of an issue, let alone experiencing one. Wonderful, reliable cars - and the nicest to drive.

I forgot to mention that I only use my Yaris 2 or 3 times a week, nearly all short journeys.

You will never look back! We have had our Yaris since Oct21, it’s only done just over 8000 miles which shows that we don’t drive it every day & have never had an issue with the battery. I love my car & driving it is so much fun.
