They did have one problem that could rear its head, rear wheel bearings are integral in the hub, and were a scandalous price from the main dealer, and being Toyotas don't fall apart the second they are out of warranty like some makes the aftermarket industry can be quite slow in making such part available.
When a probably 6 or 7 year old yaris my mate had a rear bearing failure, the OE part being some £225 IIRC, luckily the very first pattern part maker came up trumps and he obtained one for about half that, last time i looked they were about £40.
I was surprised when Toyota allowed PSA to share the Aygo platform and mechanics, giving PSA the first really reliable small car since the 106/saxo was discontinued, i wonder if they came to regret that.
If we didn't need the extra space for the dogs, i have no doubt a 1.8SR Yaris mk 2 would be sitting on our drive now.
