Is the Toyota Vitz’s popularity to its detriment, or is it a wise long term investment?

The Vitz definitely holds its value better than other brands in the same class. It’s not an investment, but you’ll lose less money than with most other cars.

Resale is where it’s at for hybrid models. With fuel prices always going up people will pay premium for extra efficiency.
Are people right about the Toyota Vitz being so reliable?
31 December 2024 07:28
Absolutely! My 2009 Vitz has been a tank, and I've had it for 13 years. It has been driven through snow, up mountains, you name it. I've had to do worst than replace the battery and tires. That’s what reliable is.

It’s reliable, yes, but it’s not perfect. Some models have 3-cylinder engines that can sound noisy and get down on power. I’ve also heard there are issues with the hybrid system in newer models. Reliable? Yes. Flawless? No way.

The Vitz is definitely more reliable than any other car in its class. However, you should remember that reliability depends on how you maintain it. I've seen Vitzes break down the same way as any other car, neglected or not.

I also believe the reliability reputation is a little overrated. Okay, so it's a Toyota, but I had trouble with my 2015 model's transmission. The invincible car some make it out to be, it's not.

Older models are tanks, I'm not so sure about the newer ones. Now they have more complex electronics and hybrid systems. Only time will tell if they will live up to the Vitz legacy.
Is the Toyota Vitz interior too basic or just right for the money?
31 December 2024 07:28
For the price, it's spot on. When you pay peanuts you get what you pay for – a reliable, no frills car. If you’re looking for fancy interiors, you’re better off going elsewhere or being prepared to pay more.

It's too basic for my taste. Other brands’ budget cars even offer more modern interiors. The Vitz feels like it's in the past.
Is the Toyota Vitz interior too basic or just right for the money?
31 December 2024 07:28
The simple interior is actually what I prefer. It's easy to clean and it's less to go wrong. And it doesn’t cost as much, which is why we picked the Vitz in the first place.

However the base model's interior is fairly bare bones, the high end trims are at least reasonably featured. It’s all about picking the right spec for your needs and for your budget.

Toyota missed an opportunity here, I think. Without jacking up the price too much, they could’ve made the interior feel more premium. It works, but it's not very exciting.
Is the Toyota Vitz's small size a safety disadvantage or is it a safety advantage?
31 December 2024 07:28
Small doesn't mean unsafe. As with many other Subaru vehicles, the Vitz is a safe bet for safe driving. It is also smaller, which makes it more manoeuvrable, and therefore less likely to get involved in an accident in the first place.
Is the Toyota Vitz's small size a safety disadvantage or is it a safety advantage?
31 December 2024 07:28
I wouldn’t feel safe driving down a highway with SUVs and trucks in a Vitz. It’s physics, physics – the bigger car wins in a collision.
Is the Toyota Vitz's small size a safety disadvantage or is it a safety advantage?

Modern Vitzes have a good bunch of safety features. It's not a tank, but it's not a death trap either. Defensive driving is all it's about.
Is the Toyota Vitz's small size a safety disadvantage or is it a safety advantage?
31 December 2024 07:28
In fact, in cities it is a safety advantage. The tight spaces are easier to navigate, and less likely to cause accidents. And at lower speeds, size does not matter as much in collisions.
Is the Toyota Vitz's small size a safety disadvantage or is it a safety advantage?

I think people overestimate how safe big cars are. The Vitz is lighter, which translates into shorter stopping distances, which is a real lifesaver.
Is the trade off in power and performance with the Toyota Vitz worth the extra fuel efficiency?
31 December 2024 07:28
Absolutely worth it! The Vitz has plenty of pep for city driving and I'm saving a ton on fuel. This is not a sports car, folks.
Is the trade off in power and performance with the Toyota Vitz worth the extra fuel efficiency?
31 December 2024 07:28
It's frustrating to be without power, nah. I’d rather have a thirsty car that can actually overtake on the highway without breaking a sweat.
Is the trade off in power and performance with the Toyota Vitz worth the extra fuel efficiency?

It depends on your needs. It’s great for fuel efficiency for commuting and errands. If you do a lot of highway driving or live in a hilly part of the world, however, you might prefer something with more grunt.
