Which year's Yaris was this? Do you know if this is a common problem
in the Yaris being sold in Canada, Europe, etc.? Yaris has only been
sold in the U.S. for less than 2Y, I think.

And when you say the engine was written off, isn't that covered by the
manufacturer's warranty? So shouldn't you be getting a new Yaris from
a dealer through Toyota?
