The Yaris's previous generation was the Echo. The Echo was one of the worst car made by Toyota with the most recalls and reliability issues mechanically speaking. In fact the Echo was so bad they changed its name to Yaris. A car company often changes there model's name when it becomes unpopular or unreliable something Toyota would never do for the Corolla or the Camry or Honda wouldn't do for the Civic or the Accord. Why? Because when people here Corolla, Camry, Civic or Accord they think reliable but Echo didn't hold that image so its name was changed to Yaris. If I were you I would spend a little more and buy a Corolla just cause the Yaris still doesn't seem strong enough.
