Toyota Yaris diesel 2006 - 2009 - any good for my first car or not a good idea.?
I want to buy my first car, a Toyota Yaris 2006 to 09 diesel and not sure if it will give me too many problems due to age. For getting around locally and shopping, visiting family friends locally with two kids. The price range I have seen is about £2,000 - £4,000.

No DPF to worry about on a 2006 to 2009, so no reason not to go diesel. The 1.6 Toyota diesel is chain cam and as long as it's properly maintained is generally reliable.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

More room and better handling than the previous version. Excellent crash test rating. 1.4 D-4D does 50mpg +.
