My Toyota Yaris 2009 run perfect, the only problem I have is that when I leave the car in the garage for more than 3 or 4 days without starting it the battery dies. I took it to the dealership twice, the first time the battery was change, the second time the answer they gave me was to start the car every day and that will do the trick. Does any one else has this problem with the Yaris 2009?

Well I also have a 09 Yaris but drive it everyday.

There is a drain in the system somewhere, have Toyota keep it a couple days and find it.

You WILL have battery problems it is sits for a month or so, but a couple days, NO.

I would also get a low amp charger, called a battery minder, which keeps the battery charged.

But I would drive it everyday and if you still have battery problems, take to Toyota for a more in-depth diagnosis.
