Hey guys!

New Yaris driver here. Just got rid of my 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R (which was hellacious trouble from Day One), and couldn't be happier to be back in a reliable Toyota!
I just picked up my 2007 Yaris Sedan (5 spd.) in silver. I love it already, especially for the increased mileage. I hope to be here for a LONG time (because I know how long Toyota's last, I'm a former 94 Celica owner)!

[marcus]

love this site..extreme pure Yaris lovers.. even though i dont have mine yet.. i got future plan already.. keep it up and keep it real!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boris13]

Hello, I'm new here. I'm ordering a new liftback in Meteorite Metallic, 5-speed, with power package, ABS, and side airbags. The dealer told me it would take about two months (is that optimistic?).

Just sold my gas-guzzling Jeep Cherokee...

[nsmitchell]

Hey, I met a guy with the exact same car as me (Red LB), except his is a 5 SPD. He was from Raleight, NC. I told him to log on to YarisWorld.com.
So if you are reading this Welcome!

We met at Drumheller Orchards near Lynchburg, VA on Saturday October 28th.
I was driving my blue Odyssey.

[theladybug]

Hi Everyone,

Are there any other women on this board?

My Yaris Hatch is 2 weeks old. Its a Copper Orange Mica 5-Door LE with the B-Package that includes ABS, EBD, Keyless Entry and Power Windows. I had originally asked the dealer for the vehicle in white, but went with the orange when I was told about the wait - and am now glad I did. Its a fantastic colour.

I am really really digging my car. This is the first car I've ever owned that wasn't a domestic, and now that I've gone down that road, I don't see myself ever coming back. [I am biased, however, in that I work for Toyota Canada].

For days I had been trying to think of a name for my car. [As I am one of those people who names their cars.] My husband was no help, that is, until he came home with "The Ladybug." Yes, girly, I know. But the perfect name for this girl's car, anyway...

[riceboy]

You'll find some other female members lurking around.. but the most active will be the guys.. welcome to YW, and congrats on the purchase!! Any pics of the new car??

[theladybug]

I'm still waiting for a nice sunny day for photos. I'll be adding them to the Official Copper Orange Mica thread when I do take them!

[as400g33k]

welcomem all!

[kngrsll]

hey everyone, im new as well... i bought my yaris back in april, after looking for a used car. i needed something cheap but fun and all the used cars just sucked! it was actually cheaper for me to buy a new yaris than a used about anything else. im trying to finish college, hoping to go to dental school but its taking a long time.

my previous car was a '91 240s hatch that i had since i got out of high school (5 years or so). it was modded almost as soon as i bought it and went through many stages. i was considered pretty hardcore when it came to a street car, it had little to no emenities and was loud, hard, and generally uncomfortable. it was autocrossed heavily (about 12-15 events a year) for about 3 years, then i got into track events. i ran about 5 events a year the last two years and even instructed! :) i passed elise's, G35's, M3's, Subaru's, race prepped Camaro's, and much more! i enjoyed that quite a bit, lol!

so i grew out of that stage and decided to get to work and finish school. i had done two years and quit to race and party, and now i've been back in for a year or so. i love my little yaris though, its really a blast to drive! i cant wait to give it a shot on a circuit! im gonna do some light mods to up the fun factor but keep it pretty civil. i'm trying to decided what thing are necessary for me and go from there.

anyways, nice to meet everyone and hope people want to talk track with me! :)

[silentdreamz]

Hello all to all of you yaris owners and future yaris owners! My name is Adam and I work at a Toyota dealership in Temple Texas. If any of you have any questions please ask me and I will try to find you some answers and get back to you as fast as I can. If anyone is ever in my area please stop in and we can talk for a bit. I'm not new to the Toyota scene and all I have owned is Toyota's. I cant picture myself investing in a better automobile. Its all I will drive to my days end. Some call it just a car but I consider it a passion of driving!! Thanks to all and see you around.

[swng]

Welcome Adam! Any comment on whether extended warranty is worth the money? The subject is being discussed on another thread (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2623). I will be delighted to read about your insight.

[silentdreamz]

Im gonna try to give a non biased opinion on this for you swng, I think the service contracts that are offered is a must! A perfect example is when my power window motor went out in my 2002 corolla s (which Ive sold) and it was going to cost me about 195 for the motor (with discount) and two hours of labor @ 80 dollars per hour. the math says it would of been 355 dollars all together. Granted thats only a third of the cost for the warranty but i think it was worth it all the way... i try to get a warranty with all my cars or buy a certified toyotas. the cost is whatever you can haggle for it but let me know ahead of time and ill try to get you the real cost. To me its worth every penny for the warranty now because I never know if a situation will come up when I dont have the cash on hand probally cause I bought some parts to upgrade!).. hit me up if you got any questions..

[swng]

Thanks Adam and welcome again!
Nice to have someone working for Toyota here!

[ultimatehipster]

Hi all. I'm a proud new owner of a Yaris. My baby is Bayou Blue, 5-speed, Liftback, Power Pkg, Keyless Entry, and does not have abs (!).... Before my last car (Nightmare) - VW GOLF 2002, I had a Honda CRX and before that a Celica.... only the VW had ABS so I'm hoping my old driving habits will kick in... anyone else not have ABS and find it's "ok"?

Also... did you guys have a period when the steering seemed to have a mind of its own when driving highways and hitting bumps here and there? I drove a ways yesterday and felt like I was battling to keep within the lines... I love it though and the color is sooooo cool. How can anyone compare the looks of the Yaris to the drab and generic looking FIT? The CRX was cooler than the FIT!

Anyway.... Once I break my baby in I hope to see what it really does for pickup speeds... I can handle slower driving since I've been a speed demon my whole life and don't want to trash this car!

Who has dealer car alarms, after market ones or none?

Hey Ladybug! I'm a proud new female owner of a Bayou Blue, 5-speed LiftBack Yaris!! How is the ride going? I love it.. still getting used to the shift and challenging power steering though! Just a little over 145 miles. It's so hard to keep the speed down on the highway, I've always had a heavy foot and going from 80-90 mph to 60-70 makes me feel 90 years old!

[solarVitz]

hello to all im new and just registered recently. looking forward on getting a yaris next year cause this car is nice and good for daily driver.

I'm curious about the Golf. My friend wants to buy one instead of a Yaris. I told him he was nuts, but to each his own. Why was the Golf a nightmare?:iono:

[ultimatehipster]

Well, to be "fair", a drunk unlicensed driver in a van smashed into 5 cars parked in front of my old apt. bldg. My car was the first one hit so he bounced off it hardest. It had over $12,000.00 in repairs.... BUT, I still think the car was a "lemon" (built in Mexico and Brazil) b/c at 2 months old the a/c had to be replaced b/c it failed, the starter/ignition had to be replaced, the catalytic converter center piece was replaced twice, the brake pads were defective and had to be replaced, the amount of oil it burned was ridiculous, I almost seized the engine once. The stupid little things that broke inside - 3 times- arm rest/latch and glove box- 2 times, something with the electrical stuff went crazy twice and I had to bring it in to have it reset and a part replaced. Oh and right before I got it traded to wait for my Yaris, the passenger window fell into the door but it was actually covered b/c it was part of a recall. Alot of the stuff that was a pain in the neck and wasted my time at the dealers/other mechanics was covered under warranty so as soon as it was up I wanted to get rid of it! It only had 45,000 miles on it. I miss the luxury stuff - heated seats/mirrors, cruise control that I would kill for now but never used then, telescoping steering wheel and the height adjustable seat... but I don't miss the dreaded feeling of wondering what was going to go wrong next whenever I went out.... Sorry so long.... I was unable to sell the car privately and the couples that checked it out loved VW cars so it's really a mixed bag out there.....

[nsmitchell]

^^^Holy Cow! That was an uber-lemon! I will let him know. Well the Yaris should be a solid, dependable ride for years or decades to come!

Hello everyone. I am a member of a Toyota owning family as my signature lists the cars we own. The Starlet is my bro's, the MR2 is my dad's, the Corolla is mine, and the Avalon is my mom's. A Yaris is to be considered as a replacement for my 88 Corolla, as it leaks and burns more oil. I hope to learn a lot about the Yaris through these forums.

[swng]

Welcome Ramolap!
Happy New Year!

[StellarPrincess]

Hi all! I'm glad to see there are people out there as excited about the yaris as I am! (my husband thinks I'm crazy...lol)

I just bought a Yaris this week...white S Sedan, fully loaded....I love it so much!!! It's so much fun to drive, was a great price, gets awesome gas mileage, and is adorable! Who could ask for more!?


Nice to meet you all and hope to talk to you all soon!

[Impresive-G]

Hello everyjuan!

My name is George. But my Subaru friends "I-club/TeamRife" Call me WHORE HAY!

1st things 1st. I have bad grammar! So clown me all you want. Just remember its not cool. lol

2nd thing. I am a bad speller and no I didnt misspell my SN.

The history behind my SN is that I love Subaru's. Allways have since I was in middle school. Ive driven them and fallin in love with them all the time.

BACK ON TOPIC. As you all know. The name Impreza. Well im also told that im very impressive at the things I do. So Impreza and impressive were moshed in together. To Impresive. I was going to use the Z "imprezive" but i didnt like it. So I left it at Impresive. No the G has 2 thigns. Again I <3 subaru's. The Impreza go by GDB GDA GC8 ect. Also cause my name is George. So theres the story.

Impresive-G

Back to me agian! =P

I know my age. But I dont look nor do I act my age.

Ive had 3 cars already. Yes paid for by me.

Had a 88 Toyota Tercel. I learnd how to handle my self with that car. Till the engine died out from the beating i was giving it and the number of miles it had. So I sold it. buwahaha. sucks for the person who got it.

Then got a nissan 240sx. How much I miss that car. I did a lot with it. Took it to the Track. Learnd how to handle RWD. Then car control was after. Not so good at holding it sideways but it was cause i broke my Diff. Then I touge for a bit with the big boys. Learnd a lot up there. Then crashed due to understear and lack of tire grip. "tire died" Owned the car for a good 7 months and then sold it. But I miss it so.

Now with the money I had left over from my 240 I used it for the down payment to my Yaris.

Its an awesome car only because of the gas and the space and the cup holders! But power wise and handling wise. I HATE IT. To much roll!

I have been on another forum by http://www.yarii.com but that thing died out. So now im here. Hopefully everone is cool here and hopefully I enjoy my stay.

So back to me.

I love long walks in the park and romantic candle light dinners!

Hi I'm new too. Name is Remie (Jeremie)

I've owned an '91 Acura Integra RS. Driven it for a good 2 years...till I guess you could say recently, I lost it to the canyons back Feb 06. Landed me in the hospital for about 7 days (If any of you are wondering what the hell I'm saying, I fell off a 300-400 ft cliff) So yeah...got back on my feet with a Suzuki Swift, unfortunately my dad sold it...even though it was stick and had no rpm speedometer. Then I rolled with a 2006 Nissan Murano for about 3 months, then my mom leased a Yaris, so now I just roll with that. Loving it so far...hope to actually buy and own a stick later in near future.

Yes it's the 1.5l 105Hp

[as400g33k]

welcome to the forums!

[magoo_lc1]

I have not bought one yet but i thought i would join to do some research. I will be in the market soon possibly for 2. I went and looked at them yesterday, and of course i like the hatch and my wife likes the sedan. She will most likely get one but i am torn between this car, a fit, a xa,xb or a 02-05 civic si hatch. Now remind you im coming from the honda world. Ive owned yotas in the past, My little honda hatch is pushing 300k. She still is running but running strong is a exageration.

Nice sight, hope to get some good info off here for my purchase!

[distrktFIVE]

awkward intro time...
i am most likely getting a yaris lb this summer (other option is the xB). i currently drive a 2003 hyundai tiburon GT v6 6spd. it's paid off, so i think once i graduate this may (pending on job offer) i am going to pick up a (hopefully) white 5spd LB.
i have already read everything on this site. it has good information on it. i joined the tiburon site (newtiburon.com) right when it started so i have seen a new site/new model/new car flurish and this seems to be right on track.

look forward to being a part of the site.

Hi everyone. Former Volvo 850 turbo sedan owner here. Loved the Yaris upon first sight and loved the mileage even more.

[OglyYaRiS]

Hello. I recently bought a Yaris, and its ugly. But I like it alot for some strange reason. :biggrin:

[ColinT]

So I turned in my hippie card and bought myself a vehicle. I have been riding a bicycle for the past two years everywhere. I was getting around 150 miles a week and was loving life. But then I had a serious accident and was out of the saddle for about 3 months. In that time I had to bum rides everywhere and it was not fun. So I decided to buy a car but it had to be fuel efficient, but fun. So the Yaris fit that bill and I have been a happy owner since January. I have a Meteorite LB 5sp and plan to put some proper suspension and tires on it for fun on the SoloII course. Ive been lurking here for a while and will probably keep on lurking but I thought I would stop in here and say "Hello, I like this forum". :smile:

[churp]

Got my Black LB on 2-27-07 :thumbup: and love it other than the side wind handling. Sort of a car nut have several AW11 Mr2's, an 83 Celica, few Rx7's, and old American cars. US manufacturers lost it :iono: a long time ago!

i've got a yaris since 2001!

[hazardous]

Yaris Sedan has just been launched in Indonesia! (April 2007)
It's named "all new vios" (look at picture)
I'm interested with this new model.. (i live in Indonesia)
Features are HID headlights, engine start button (cool!), add on body kit, and typical safety equipments. The spoiler (look pic) is optional, but looks kinda cool, eh?
The price is about 21,200 us$ (190 million rupiahs) for type G automatic. (the highest type). I'm gonna buy this car. Is the price reasonable?

[mafuzoulpa]

I guess I got to leave a mark here... before marking the other spots.

[XOG]

Hey there guys, come tuesday the missus and myself will be Yaris owners! We are due to collect our ex-demo 5 door Yaris, and yes, its a DIESEL!.... Our poor Celica GT had to go due to a heavy commute, so the diesel economy will be very welcome...

[death is my gift]

hi i'm jessa. i'm 27 and live in dallas. i got a Yaris 2 nights ago. Wednessay night. It's a manual red 2007 Yaris 3dr Liftback. I traded in my maroon 2004 Pontiac Vibe. I went into the dealership looking to get any stupid car that would lower my payments, which was $357 a month for the Vibe. Six hours later I drove out with my new Yaris for the same exact amount a month. I don't know how they did it because my credit is the poo. But, they did it and now I have a new shiny red toy. I LOVE the way it drives. It's my own personal little racecar.

Now I want to put rims on it. I'm completely oblivious to the whole "show-car" thing so I don't even know where to start. I did a little research online but it seems like all the rims I want don't come in 14". Which is the standard size that it came with. Anywayz, I talk a lot and I should do more research.

Wikipedia here I come.

Hey now....got a 2007, 5 speed manual, hatchback Yaris that recently got 45mpg on a long road trip. Average speed around 60, with A/C running and windows up. Noticed several cars that passed me more than once. Guess they had to stop for gas.

Hi there! I just got my yaris last week, and I've been made fun of quite a bit for our instant attachment. I've never owned a car before (and mostly borrowed my parents' mini-van) so the idea of a fuel efficient and fun to drive vehicle is pretty wonderful.

They also laugh when I say with excitement that I've found a place called yarisworld.com, but I know better. Heh.

Secured mine yesterday; it's on a boat that will be docking in Portland tomorrow, and I should have my hands on it by the end of the week: Bayou Blue liftback with AT, no fancy options other than the "cold-weather package" that all Yarises here in the NW come with whether you like it or not...

I just need to pick up a $100 stereo at Circuit City and I'll be good to go.

[iLuvMyYaris]

I got my '07--black sand pearl , manual-trans, w/power package--Liftback on 3/7/07. I bought it two days after my '90 2-door Integra got stolen in front of a movie theater. I've named it Trouble and put a decal of Stitch with the phrase underneath him, "Here Comes Trouble". I love this car!! Will put pictures soon!

Thanks for the welcome, My truck wont be taller than the yaris for much longer. I am getting ready to do a 3/3 drop on it. The things I am going to do to the yaris is some wheels and tires, and a nav system.

Got my Yaris today: liftback, auto transmission, Bayou Blue, basic model (cold-weather package only).

So far, so good -- only minor complaints yet are (1) the key can be tricky to get into the door locks, and (2) my god, the trunk is small! :smile:

I test drove 5 yaris and I fell in love with this Jade Sea one. It would be one week old tomorrow and yes, I am new to this forum. ^_^

Hello everyone! I just got my Yaris Liftback this Monday (June 11). I am one very happy man! :biggrin: White, Automatic, Power Package, Teflon Exterior Paint & Interior Fabric Protection, Side Body Sticker. Accessories ordered: Spoiler, Mudguard, Door Sill, Arm Rest. Also bought White Racing Wheels. Will post pics soon!

hello! just joined the forums and i just got my yaris a little less than a month ago. It's a White S Sedan that's all stock except for the tint. I got bored today so i painted the engine cover. yeah... idk if it was a good choice? Anyways, i ordered a AEM CAI yesterday so i'm VERY excited about that! can't wait till it comes! Here are some pics

[sherryberry]

Hello all, I'm desperately waiting for my blazing blue LB yaris to get here. They say it's suppose to be here any day now. I've waited for three weeks already! Oh man, I hate waiting. Anyway, I can't wait to start driving it and discuss how awesome it is here :) please comfort me as I impatiently wait for it!

[sniperheart]

Well It looks like I'm new here and about ready to jump on sub-compact bandwagon. Been poking around your forum for a while now collecting initial impressions of the Yaris and the development of accessories for such a unique vehicle.

I'm currently long-hualing it with a Dodge and the cost of ownership plus truck esque like gas mileage of the Intrepid is wearing thin on my nerves. My premature thought was to jump for a Fit S but I'm becoming more swayed in the direction of the Yairs LB. We'll see how things come around within the next few months.

Where in OK are you? I got my Yaris in Tulsa last weekend and I love it.

Never any major issues. Just change the oil, fuel up and go.

4 months ago, we trade in my mazda 2 (same size like a yaris) en my dad's prius.
Prius? yep, why? well i don't know, it was his 2nd one and wan't to try something else?:iono: :confused:

we have a european version of the yaris, a 1300cc engine with a 5 speed automatic (Multi Mode Transmission) 3d dash, and a lot more.

but what we don't have here in the Netherlands, is Parts & Accessories, only for the old echo's types, and none for the new yaris.:frown:

Now 5000 miles later, i found the website and i love it, very :eyebulge: cars, and DIY manuals

[marybarrrow]

We just purchased a white Liftback Yaris on Saturday. We purchased it because of the wonderful gas mileage that it will get and the fact that it has a lot of room for such a small car. I had a Plymouth Colt a long time ago and it reminded me of that little car. So far we are loving it.

Hey there, just checking in from Australia.
Bought a Yaris 3+ months ago. love it a lot.
its the basic model in Australia
1.3l engine, 3 door hatch back, white in color, manual.
After having a mitsi vr4 (2l turbo engine, sedan), I popped the bonnet and looked in the engine bay saying to myself. "what the heck... where's the engine!?!" :biggrin:
Just wish the warranty would hurry up and be over, I want to modif... erm.. play with it...
In the future i'm looking to do some, if not all, of the following:
Turbo kit
big brakes,
suspension and sway bars.
large tires probably 16 inch.
quick shift.

Anyway, catch you round. :thumbsup:

[seanele]

hmm..a little late for me to check in huh??...:redface:
but better than not at all...

yeahh...,
it's me..the dude who hates Honda..but own an ELement about 3 months ago!
but then...trade that Honda with my Blazing Blue LB at Longo.

I like this Forum..,
people are more open and not too extreme compare to the other forum...hehe

Yesterday, was the first day that I drove it. (whe that happend was like 2 or 3 days ago) it feels very nice, in the back of the car, there´s a lot of space, I put my dog´s cage there, it´s great! te color of the car is like a ligth green, and inside in in a color beige, with the sun, sometimes looks like a gold color in some places.

Maybe today I´m going to drive it again with a friend :burnrubber: to go out for a while.

Ok well that was the story... probably I´ll tell you more if you like ok? take care and I send you hugs!:thumbsup:

[Rich Norman]

Hello everyone, my name is Rich and I have been a silent member of this forum for about a year. Well, I finally got around to actually getting a Yaris, so now it doesn't seem so awkward for me to discuss the car here. Guess a proper introduction is due.

I'm 39 years old and live near Lake City, Florida.

I just picked up a new 2007 manual transaxle Liftback ( Polar White color )and my reflections so far is that I think the design and engineering execution is top-notch for what amounts to an entry level car. I mainly bought my Yaris to have a reliable fuel efficient backup car for personal use.

Yaris brings back memories of what it was like to drive a small 2-door hatchback straight from the new dealership floor. The last time I was able to find anything halfway decent new in a Yaris-esque size was a Ford Festiva, and that was nearly 15 years ago!. BTW, I still keep a Festiva around to bear the brunt of my long distance daily 120-mile work commute. I just can't see subjecting my new Yaris to such mileage yet.

This makes the second Toyota I have owned in my life, and it's been ages since I had one ( previous; a 1983 Supra ). I've mainly been a Ford person all my life, but they have offered nothing in the way of a small car that I like for years. Their marketing and design for their lower end vehicles is far too conservative, heck the only car I like from them costs over 45,000.

What else? Well, my primary hobby ( 22 years ) has been building race cars or anything that has allowed mechanical design, fabrication, and wrenching skills to be put to good use. I also am a professional tool repair technician by trade, which means I am never away from working with tools!

I look forward to reading the posts here and helping anyway I can. I'll try to post of pictures of the Yaris this weekend.

[Thotprawsis]

Welcome to posting on the forum. I used to own Festivas also, 3 to be exact. I love those cars. I am even more in love with my Yaris. I look forward to your input on this site!

Dear all

We have a 2000 automatic yaris, 1.3 3 door. It has recently developed a intermitant noise, I would best describe it as a 'werring' noise. I was wondering if anyone knows what might be causing it. We have been to the dealership but they are not sure.

Thank you

Mark

i would recommend you post this in the various tech forums as someone there might have some experience with this...

I guess it's about time that I had an "official" hello post.

I've been lurking for a long time and posting for a bit. Basically I've tried to make the best use of yarisworld in order to gather all the information I needed before purchasing a yaris. Thank you to everyone who helps this site to be a treasure trove of info. It really does mean a lot and it does make a difference.

Well I don't have the car yet but I just got back from my local dealership after putting $500 down so that they could go ahead and grab the next polar white LB w/MT and no options that is available. I had them check every dealer that they could pull from and nobody had an 08 white LB that they could strip down so my car will most definitely be "fresh off the boat". I should have the car some time between next weekend and ... whenever. No biggie though; the longer it takes the more $$$ I can put down when it comes in.

Anyways I'm not officially an owner yet but I figure putting down $500 and waiting for one to come in is about as close to being an owner as you can get without being one so I thought I would post on the "Check in here" thread.

SIDE NOTE: Before anyone posts I'll just go ahead and say that "Yes I agree that black is a great color for the LB" but I also live in an area with a ton of pollen and I had to weigh "black and sexy" vs "white and tidy". White won out because I don't want to deal with keeping a black car the way it deserves to be kept. Polar white with black tint windows looks really good too so that's what I'll be going for just as soon as I hit Crutchfield up for some gear.

Hey there.

The name's Darren, and I'm just introducing myself. My gf is quite close to buying a Yaris (NCP11?) for herself, and I'm using this website as a reference point.

We're both living in Perth, Western Australia at the moment. She's intending to buy a Yaris YRS, which is the 1.5L derivative without the YRX's cosmetic upgrades, and comes with 15" steelies. Most likely, it's going to be manual, 3door, and "Shadow" in colour (blue-grey).

Can I get some feedback on these items?

1. fly-by throttle linkage. first time using it, and it's annoying. how do you guys find it? I was tempted to do some heel-toeing but with the dealer agent in the car, I thought against it.

2. driving position - YAY for tilt and reach steering! BUT driving position is still a bit sucky. i prefer to be lower in the car, but alas, it's not to be (and I'm only 5"8/9, 174cm). It feels different being higher.

3. clutch - way too light. i couldn't find the friction point and subsequently stalled. The last time i stalled a normal car was my own, 9 yrs ago. And the last time i stalled a car was a R32 Skyline GTR with a twin plate.

4. gearbox - any issues with shifting? feels solid enough for a little car. The aussie 9th? gen (2nd latest) corolla sportivo (T-Sport in UK) with the 2zz, had a notchy feel, and a fair few people had to get toyota to fix something on there, of which I can't remember anymore.

5. no quick release for rear access on driver's side. A bit weird, I thought, as all other coupe's and 2drs had passenger and driver side quick release.

6. Rear Inner guard/fender, or lack thereof - Do you feel there's something missing here? I had a look at a few Yarises (h/b and sedan) and they are all missing. You can see the cover for the fuel tract from the filler to the tank. Is there an aftermarket product to address this issue? I found it slightly bemusing that there were pebbles and dirt accumulating in the crevices.

overall - car feels nippy in traffic, although coming from a 1.6L (I know, peanuts) there is no acceleration but it does feel planted when doing mid and low speed corners. Not bad on the switch-backs. Normal braking feels good, no idea about heavy braking.

***

Intended mods for the future:
- Sunroof (Hollandia 700)
- Tinting
- 17" and hopefully TRD springs (after running the new tyres into the ground).
- Should I also opt for the YRX rear wing? or a Sportivo rear wing? I see a fair few of you guys having just the rear spoiler on your cars, without the front lip and side skirts. Looks almost like a 1-make series race car.


Hope to contribute in some way in the future, but please excuse the no0b :)

Have a good day!


Ps. to the other aussies - is there not much activity on ozecho.com? YW is better for reference material naturally, but I thought the aussie yaris owners would still band together over there.

I don't want to deal with keeping a black car ....
Feel the power of the light side.


... Polar white with black tint windows looks really good too ....

Amen Brother.... amen

"Yes I agree that black is a great color for the LB"

REPENT... REPENT... OUT THY FILTHY DAEMON !!!!

Frikk'n awesome place Perth... Aussie-Aussie-Aussie..... OYE_OYE_OYE !
Been over that way a few times on business in the last year and I gotta say, I love the place. {Go Red Bull Air Race !!!} Remote... but great. That 4.5 hr flight is a real bitch.


...Most likely, it's going to be....."Shadow" in colour (blue-grey).

....Sigh...

Why not... I did. I had the dealer principle, wife, + kids in the back and I gotta say the ride was.... interesting. Seeing the look on the dealers face was priceless. Shit...did I get a mouthfull from the wife afterwoods though !

2. driving position - YAY for tilt and reach steering! BUT driving position is still a bit sucky. i prefer to be lower in the car, but alas, it's not to be (and I'm only 5"8/9, 174cm). It feels different being higher.


You get used to it very quickly. Even though my Yaris is still some pre-fab metal in a plant in Tokyo, I find it very easy to get in and drive my friends Yaris after coming from my XR6

3. clutch - way too light.
Yep.. My biggest complaint.. appart from the engine run on in 1st and 2nd gears.

4. gearbox - any issues with shifting?
Non that I've noticed.. Though I'll probably get the short shift kit pretty much first up.

5. no quick release for rear access on driver's side.

Yeah... frikk'n weird that. Guess the up side is that once you've found a nice driving position, it wont go south as soon as someone wants to get in the back seat.

6. Rear Inner guard/fender, or lack thereof

Had not noticed... I'll ring my friend and get her to check... (um on second thoughts...)

overall - car feels nippy in traffic, although coming from a 1.6L (I know, peanuts) there is no acceleration but it does feel planted when doing mid and low speed corners. Not bad on the switch-backs. Normal braking feels good, no idea about heavy braking.

I agree. For what the car is and what segment/price it is aimed at, it is an absolute gem. Possibly only toppled by the new Mazda2, but the M2 will be at a premium for now.

heya! I just got my 07 Yaris Liftback last Wednesday, Sept. 19.

Lovin it!

Hey Ferret! Never been to Bris Vegas before.. but I can guess its rather tropical.. I hear you've been getting some sorta rain for a short while recently.. maybe the banana prices can come down soon :P


....Sigh...


Wot? Nothing wrong with the colour.. it's the best I reckon. White's for fleet mobiles, sky blue and green are not a go, and navy blue doesn't suit the car. Black is the 2nd best option, but Shadow makes the lines of the car more pronounced :)

Why not... I did. I had the dealer principle, wife, + kids in the back and I gotta say the ride was.... interesting. Seeing the look on the dealers face was priceless. Shit...did I get a mouthfull from the wife afterwoods though !

I went through my evaluation route near the dealership and was going about 60% when the dealer told me off. I thought I tried to talk to him at the same time, but I guess he noticed.

You get used to it very quickly. Even though my Yaris is still some pre-fab metal in a plant in Tokyo, I find it very easy to get in and drive my friends Yaris after coming from my XR6

The Yaris is very easy to get into. I'm still not used to the S15 although the Celica is much easier. It's just the height in relation to the ground when driving makes me feel like I'm driving an MPV of sorts. I think the guy on here with the Recaros has the right idea :)

Non that I've noticed.. Though I'll probably get the short shift kit pretty much first up.

Short shift kit also mostly means shorter actual stick. My gf is used to a higher placed gear knob and if i'm looking at a short shifter, it has to have the stick longer than OEM! A bit weird, but think of it as pre-paddle shift gear levers for rally cars :)

Had not noticed... I'll ring my friend and get her to check... (um on second thoughts...)

yea. Actually it's quite apparent when looking at the Yaris. But that's cost cutting for ya. If you're not sure what I mean, look at another car's inside rear fender, and you'll see a black plastic cover sitting above the tyres.

I agree. For what the car is and what segment/price it is aimed at, it is an absolute gem. Possibly only toppled by the new Mazda2, but the M2 will be at a premium for now.

Haven't seen specs/test driven the M2 yet but it does look nice!

Heh. Haven't got time to watch that. Although, I'd rather watch So You Think You Can Dance more, as they can actually dance :P

Hi folks. Ordered my Yaris just over a week ago. Patiently waiting for my car to arrive from Japan.

[DJ K3nn0Q]

Just got mine in from the factory today
My only gripe is that I could use a little more leg room, being 6'3

Yeh I came here 2 days ago, hello :)

I've joined twice now and I have had my 08 Yaris sedan two weeks tomorrow. I traded an 05 Saturn Ion and am glad I did.

Since I just got my black '09 Yaris LB this past Friday and became a member of YW the same night, I suppose I still qualify for this thread post-hack.

SO...once again...here's a pic of my ride as it waited in the pickup bay at the dealership:

Hurray for Black Liftbacks, welcome to the dark side! Glad you didn't go for Yellow Jolt (a.k.a. Omelet Vomit!) The only thing that stinks about black is the fact that it shows dirt so quickly... a small price to pay IMHO.

So you have any plans for adding stuff, customizing, accesorizing, etc?

LOL! Omelet Vomit!
Yeah, I ordered a red one, but this was the 1st manual trans to hit the area w/ the options I wanted so I took it, and I'm glad I did!! As for the dirt showing, well...this is coming from having a white Cavalier for 6 years, and parking outside, so this'll be a welcome switch from what dirtied up that.

As far as accessories, I'm probably going to upgrade the headlights and tail lights eventually, but I'll have to adjust the budget to having car payments again before I start upgrading anything.

Hi! I just got a old Bayou Blue Yaris with low miles and a ? transmittion I am leaning to drive on! Tis be my first toyata and I like it OK. but want it F-A-S-T-E-R. I wish you can help me sometimes you seem to know a lot of stuff on the toyota. I have help my brother and father work on the cars so I know how to hold the wrench and get very dirty so let me know ;)

Hi, I'm a noob here. Just a question about metal vs plastic dipsticks, why don't we have metal dipsticks

[sanityassassinv2]

Hi, I'm a noob here. Just a question about metal vs plastic dipsticks, why don't we have metal dipsticks

My guess would be cost?

The real question is why don't we have a ball bearing dipstick?

Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Some nice guy(?) privet mail me an tell me to go to the performer board to see about going FaStEr! Bye!

[TheSilkySmooth]

Hi, I'm a noob here. Just a question about metal vs plastic dipsticks, why don't we have metal dipsticks Cannot you see oily line better on the plastic?? Metal is too cold and acid bothersome. My Papa says to me polymer engineer they say hih heat poly-esther as good as steel with nickel for dimensional stability!

Now I am free I Like the 88~ bansafaji stick~88:wink:
