Toyota pissing me off

[yaris2010RS]

this is bad, i dont even have the car yet and they are on my nervs. i ordered my brand new 2010 yaris rs about a month and a half ago, a car i was assured would come in 3 weeks..... does anyone else see the problem here? this is worse then waitting for a bus thats schedualed to come every 20mins and i've been waitting for 45 mins so far.... i know its not toyota's fault but i was jsut wondering how long does it take a car to come from japan to ontario on average. also too the sales man told me it was gonna be 3 weeks can i use this to my advantage at all? this post may be useless but i am so excited, its my first car and i put alot of money into jsut getting it. i think i got a good deal already as it is, brand new 2010 yaris rs (with less then 5km on it, yes, i'm picky like that) for $22,350 on road off the lot. this really sucks.....

[1NZYaris1]

i see a couple of problems , but the real problem is the car should have a minimum 10KM on the clock when bought , otherwise they have not done the prepurchase check properly .
As for delivery date have you spoken to them about it , if yes when are they promising delivery , if you want it faster , walk into the dealer ship with a friend to back you up and ask for your money back .that will get them moving :thumbsup:

[yaris2010RS]

lol, i'm 18 years old and i knew my first car would be a brand new toyota, standard, and less then 5km on it, and i told the guy if it has more i wont take it.

You paid for the car before actually seeing it? When you order a car your dealership doesn't send that order over to Japan and then they make it the way you want it. Your dealership submits a perference order to the local distributor and whenever they receive a Yaris matching your order they will send it to your dealership. The more picky you are about features, the longer it is going to take. Exactly what did you order on your Yaris?

[sqcomp]

This is a dealership integrity issue.

One has to ask, does this suprise you? Dealerships being a bit shady that is. You never EVER pay up front for a vehicle until it is received.

[yaris2010RS]

sorry, that was misscomunication, i payed $500 bucks for them to order it, i give them the rest when i pick it up. and check this out, i called the dealer on saturday at 11:18am, its monday morning, still yet to hear from the salesman. as for the car, its 2010 yaris rs with the a/c, 5 speed tranny, rims, seperate winter tires and steelies, blue with the rally spoiler. trying to get another 1000 bucks to get under coat and coating on seats and floors and they gave me the winter rubber mats and paint extra pretective coating for free (which i feel is bull shit, how do i know if i got that coating or not? he told me it was clear and would be all over the car so it rarly needs to be waxed and takes alot longer to get dirty, we will see.) ( does anyone know how to tell with the paint coating?) i need to find out the terms in which i can tell them to fuck off, my mom had the same issue when she wanted the PT cruiser (i know its not toyota), she called media and shit after the car took longer then 3 months to come and 2 days later the company called my mom and told her to come pick up her deposit. i love toyota quality and the rs is sick but ATTRELL TOYOTA IN BRAMPTON IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. i will call him again in the morning, see if i can get a hold of him when they first open. he is always on lunch or with a client. i thought seeing as he is the owners son (phill Attrell, and his father is John Attrell) shit would be soft and go very well. how long would you say is too long to wait for a car? i know he told me 3 weeks at the latest but what is average wait time?

[nemelek]

I keep a broad scope of what I want in a car. I have never ordered a car. I feel that you can get a better deal for something already on the lot.

I call bullshit too. All it is going to be is a wax job by one of their lot boys.

You were very specific on your order. The more picky you are the longer it is going to take. Your dealer did not send your order over to Japan and say "Build it exactly like this." Your dealer puts the order into your distributor. IF/When the distributor receives a Yaris matching your order, they will send it to your dealer. At this point the only thing your dealer has done wrong is to tell you that it would be delivered in 3 weeks. Maybe they meant to tell you that it would be at LEAST 3 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it took serveral months for your car to arrive because you were so specific. This a very common problem. People think they can "Build Your Own" Toyota and that Japan will build it just for you. When in fact you can only do a preference order.

For example, if I ordered a Yellow Yaris it is going to take a lot longer than if I ordered a White Yaris. Toyota builds more white than Yellow. Therefore the chances that your distributor will receive a yellow is a lot lower than the chances of getting a white one.

no, it is not.

dealerships get the vehicles when the truck arrives. they have no control
over when the truck arrives, and a lot of things happen before the truck arrives.

they only get a best estimate of arrival times. some jerk says 'bomb' at the port it can delay a vehicle delivery. dealers have no special control over the intermediaries


by the way I wanted an RS, (usa sport package) and the dealer said good luck that will take a very long time,
so I said screw that I don't really care I'll get a regular model...which still took a while since
I wanted a specific color and option pack

[auxmike]

When I went for my car, the dealer had about 10 each of HB and Sedan. This was in April '08. There was a nice choice of options and colors right on the lot. Went with a Met. Metallic with an auto and power package!
WOOT!:clap:

[specialeducator]

money well spent

what is money well spent?

[chai]

I bought my Yaris in Wilsonville, OR - drove off the lot with a '09 Yaris with 8mi on the odo. 100% made and assembled in Japan, guess it helps that Portland is so close - straight from Japan --> Portland --> Wilsonville.

[Yaris Hilton]

Mine made it from Kanegasaki to Kingsport, Tennessee with 7 miles on the odometer.

[RUFFSTUFF]

I've only bought 1 car sight unseen and that was because the car was at Jacksonville Port Authority and the dealer had not received it yet. Sounds like you put a deposit on a car and when it shows up, it shows up...

[YarisSedan]

The more picky you are about features, the longer it is going to take. Exactly what did you order on your Yaris?

I used to work at a dealer and this quote is exactly what they would do. Which is why its taking so long they havent found your car yet when they thought they would have it by now. Also that coating they put on the car is a load of bull. its just something finanace does to pad the sale.

Just like how honda used to sell perma plate. Some special coating that would make your paint last forever. They charged only what they thought they could get the customer to pay. Some people payed 150 for it some people payed 1000 for it. All it was , was some cheap wax thats it.

When i bought my yaris and the guy started talking. I simply said I want only the car nothing else. I dont want your fancy addons and your gap insurance and all the other crap. I just want the car and thats it.

Also the moment you start to get picky and want this and that then your bargining power starts to go down. Since its not a car on thier lot your less likely to negotiate. I am not sure what the going rate for a yaris is in canada but in US dollars id say thats way to much.

[anonymous user]

I've bought a $35k car 2 yrs ago without test driving it, and it was the first year release.
Only 170 or so made. It was in oregon, and i was in hawaii, so bought and paid sight unseen.
Unfortunately a drunk driver slammed into it 3 months ago, ending my relationship with it. Needless to say i was sad.

[yaris2010RS]

actually he told me the car would be here in 2 weeks, latest 3 weeks, my only problem was i didn't get it in writing. i know the more custom the car, the harder it is to find but really, i got the exact same car in the folder. the front page car, the car on the website..... they should have tones of these cars around. and i figured the paint thing was bullshit. and today is tuesday 9am and he still hasn't called me back. i realize the car taking forever no one can help, he wants to get his money jsut as bad, but whats pissing me off is the fact i have not gotten contacted back and he told me it would be here in 3 weeks, i'm jsut about going on a month, i am taking the bus with all my school stuff and work stuff. and the gas i'm spending on my moms car to pick her up, drop her off go to work, back pick her up is stupid. fuck, i would have been better off with a honda or even GM. i am really so close to saying fuck the rs, cancelling my order and getting a normal 4 door or 2 door hatch. fuck it, even the sedan.

[thebarber]

if you order something that has to come from japan, youll have to wait....

they didnt have any other car in ontario that you wanted?

forget the undercoating, fabric protector, etc. though, keep in mind, the oem paint on the exterior of the car is junk....its a toyota thing. get the car oil sprayed annually for $100 and youll be rust free.

timelines are just fake ideas to keep you happy....or not, lol. sounds like unless you want to go to another dealership *cough*bramalea*cough* to get some help, you might just have to suck it up and wait. i do understand youre 18 and its your first car, but you'll have to have some patience....itll come. id have thought it'd take closer to 6 weeks to get a car from japan...

[Yaris Hilton]

Have you ever gone into a restaurant with a long line waiting at dinnertime, asked how long the wait is, and gotten a different answer than "About 20 minutes?"

[RUFFSTUFF]

Have you ever gone into a restaurant with a long line waiting at dinnertime, asked how long the wait is, and gotten a different answer than "About 20 minutes?"


Yes.

[tomato]

Have you ever gone into a restaurant with a long line waiting at dinnertime, asked how long the wait is, and gotten a different answer than "About 20 minutes?"

yes, sometimes they tell you "about 45 minutes" when the line wraps around the block :wink:

But a hairdresser always say "20 minutes" of course, what they really mean is an hour and a half!

You've managed to live 18 years without a car and you're complaining about it now? Sounds like someone is a little impatient, maybe a little spoiled too :wink: A brand new car at 18 AND you get to pick too? Maybe just be happy for what you're getting and sit tight for a few more weeks.

...or go get that GM, because you'd be better off.

[lowsushi]

Hearing this story I hope I fair better. I am waiting on my co-signer to get back from vacation before I order my Yaris. I dont want much just a White 5 door with power package. But of the 5 lots I have contacted or visited only 1 lot had 1 car, a black 5 door. And I am in Southern California. you would think that they would have a little better selection than 1 car out of 5 lots.

Has anyone else in SoCal had problems getting the car they wanted on the lot? Or know of a good dealer to try?

Have you gone up to the dealer yet?

[yaris2010RS]

spoiled? i worked my but off to pay for school and my car. i have waited 18 years for my first car, i saved up, i picked it and now i'm waiting. this sucks. i'm taking the bus and i own a car on paper. lol, it makes me feel stupid. he told me when it would be here and i planned my life around it. i got an extra job to help pay for it, i cant go to work cuz i dont have my car i need to work to pay for.... and it hasn't snowed yet either (snow truck driver for city of mississauga) but if it does, i'm fucked. it has been a week since i last called the sales rep and he still hasn't returned my call. its the integerity issue thats really pissing me off, i know he cant make the car come faster no matter how much i bitch but he could treat me right you know. i'm an 18 year old punk who will get his car when he does. i could have gotten the car $100 cheaper but its attrell toyota, my mom has gotten all her cars (2 toyotas in her entire life) from there and they have treated her right. its a family buisness, they take care of us. not this time. i was also really pissed the other night i was gonna leave him another message but i had to type in the last name of the sales rep, i have a blackberry with qwerty keyboard, the phone system does not recongnize qwerty, lol, its going from bad to worse with this. lol. and for the recod, its been just shy of 2 months and he still hasn't called with the vin number so i can get insurance ready. i jsut find at least on this fourm i can complain and get over it a little more, i want my car!! lol, i love to drive and i have worked so hard for this. and also, he hasn't actualy told me where it is coming from. he said all yaris's are made in japan but i have no idea if there is a lot up north with tons of them. its taken this long so i assume is coming from japan. does anyone know if there is any way to get a right hand drive yaris in canada? or how difficult it would be to move the steeringwheel over? i figure they saved moeny and time by putting the dials in a nutral area, what else is already set up? this is the other problem, with all this time owning a car but not having it, i am thinking of stupid little things to do to it, lol

[r3b3l]

When I moved back to Mississippi from Hawaii, it took them 5 weeks to ship it. Fuckers stole my amp too, but I got their insurance to cover it, got paid twice what I bought it for. I ordered my 2010 yaris from a local dealer and was driving it the next day but they only had to bring it in from another state. Personally I would be raising hell.

[Yaris Hilton]

does anyone know if there is any way to get a right hand drive yaris in canada? or how difficult it would be to move the steeringwheel over? i figure they saved moeny and time by putting the dials in a nutral area, what else is already set up?

This is a myth started by some of the car magazine reviewers when they were trashing the Echo about 10 years ago. They couldn't imagine why anyone would put the instruments in the center, ergo it must have been to save money. But none of the dash panels are symmetrical and interchangeable, even the parts supporting the gauges. You'd have to tear out and replace everything.

Personally I like the center gauges, but there are already long threads devoted to that topic.

[ryota]

i had the same deal with my stealership when i placed the order for my car. it took about 6 weeks to get my 3dr standard with power package. i was originally told they were getting it from another dealer and i would have it in a week... 6 weeks later with a good amount of bitching i had my yaris and they gave me the keyless entry for free. point to the story, hang in there... you might get something out of it. and if you are that impatient, go in there with a friend and threaten to take the deposit back and make sure you get something out of it if you stay with that dealer.

[AND189]

mate i live in australia and i was told from order three months is how long it takes them to build it and send it and that is about how long it did take

[why?]

Instead of calling you really need to walk in to the dealership and talk to the sales manager. Shit happens, and dealers can be a pain. If your mother has been happy, bring her too. The more you make them realize what they could lose the better chance of them helping you. With the way the car business is suffering right now anyone with a deposit should be treated like gold.

[b_hickman11]

.... i own a car on paper. lol, it makes me feel stupid. he told me when it would be here and i planned my life around it. i got an extra job to help pay for it, i cant go to work cuz i dont have my car i need to work to pay for.... and it hasn't snowed yet either (snow truck driver for city of mississauga) but if it does, i'm fucked. it has been a week since i last called the sales rep and he still hasn't returned my call. its the integerity issue thats really pissing me off, i know he cant make the car come faster no matter how much i bitch but he could treat me right you know. i'm an 18 year old punk who will get his car when he does. i could have gotten the car $100 cheaper but its attrell toyota, my mom has gotten all her cars (2 toyotas in her entire life) from there and they have treated her right. its a family buisness, they take care of us. not this time. i was also really pissed the other night i was gonna leave him another message but i had to type in the last name of the sales rep, i have a blackberry with qwerty keyboard, the phone system does not recongnize qwerty, lol, its going from bad to worse with this. lol. and for the recod, its been just shy of 2 months and he still hasn't called with the vin number so i can get insurance ready. i jsut find at least on this fourm i can complain and get over it a little more, i want my car!! lol, i love to drive and i have worked so hard for this. and also, he hasn't actualy told me where it is coming from. he said all yaris's are made in japan but i have no idea if there is a lot up north with tons of them. its taken this long so i assume is coming from japan. does anyone know if there is any way to get a right hand drive yaris in canada? or how difficult it would be to move the steeringwheel over? i figure they saved moeny and time by putting the dials in a nutral area, what else is already set up? this is the other problem, with all this time owning a car but not having it, i am thinking of stupid little things to do to it, lol

You actually don't even own the car on paper. The only thing you own is first choice of this Yaris when it comes in from the distributor. So has it been 2 months or 3 weeks? Eariler you had said it had only been 3 weeks and now you said it's been 2 months? Have you called once or multiple times? If I were you I would go back to the dealer and change the order. You were very picky when it came to options and thats why it is taking longer to find.

[yaris2010RS]

the car i picked was the exact same as the rs on the website. and i walked in there today and i spoke to the guy, his shit was all over the place and accomplished nothing (at 3pm today), jsut now at 7:30 pm he called me, my car is in canada it will be on my driveway by the 20th the latest. to eliminate the confusion also, i oredered the car (signed and put the deposit down) October 17th, its jsut shy of 2 months now. its felt like forever. i had no idea where the car was coming from but he said at the beginning it would have been here 3 weeks, he was hoping for 2. he is gonna clal me with all the vin number stuff tomorrow. i think i'm gonna try to get the rally spoiler out of him for free...what do u think? now my concern is never driving a standard car in winter before, getting my brand new car december 20th, in canada, there is gonna be the biggest snow fall that night, lol, i know it. kinda worried

[yaris2010RS]

and i found it retarted that the rs model only comes 5 door, i think the 3 door would look so much better with the body kit then the 5door. i was told the only way they could put the body kit on was if i spend an extra 2000 and even that, they could only put on front and back bumper

[b_hickman11]

I ordered my 08 Sedan with just the power package and no other crap and it took 1 month. So 2 months for a car that is basically a special edition isn't that bad.

[b_hickman11]

Actually your lucky they still even make the RS. Probably within the next 2 years Toyota will stop the RS in the Yaris all-together. So it's good your getting one before they're gone. We Sedan guys are already out of luck on that.

[thebarber]

lol, up until 2010MY the yaris RS was available in 3dr....so 09's that look like '10's have 3dr rs's

hopefully you'll get your car before christmas

hope to see you at a toyota nation meet in the new year (snow or not)

keep your eyes peeled in the canada section for westend meet dates

[yaris2010RS]

will do, and i;m not afraid of driving in snow, its just its a new car and slightly worried

[yaris2010RS]

just an update in my situation, in case anyone was wondering

Happy holidays everyone btw, lol, just in case u haven't heard that enough.

Jan 1st 2010, still dont have my yaris...... some of u may be wondering y have i been so quiet about it. and that my friend is cuz i bitched and complained and on december 20th, i got a car like he promised me, and that was a 2010 corolla s, this thing is so much fun to drive. cant wait for yaris. he gave me a car with 4,xxx km on it and i get to keep it till i get my car. free of charge. i did see him yesterday and he showed me a paper that said jan 10th was the drop date for my yaris, so should have it soon..... but at least i have wheels now.

[upgradedyaris]

You kids need to be more patient. :laugh: RS is a waste of money IMO. If it had a bigger engine, sure. They ask too much for a few little extras. Good car though, Toyota has been in the family for over 10 years here.

[thebarber]

nice deal on scamming the rolla

hope you get your RS soon

upgraded: im of the same mind, but i think its been mentioned much earlier in the thread...

[yaris2010RS]

gonna be honest, i agree too, i would have been very happy with the 3-dr CE, much less in price but once i saw that body kit, it makes it a different car. and i was told i was only able to get front and rear skirt (no side), and the rims and it would have cost me about 3,000 extra.....when it came down to a price difference of maybe 2,000, for all the extra stuff, y not. i'm 18 now but i want it till i'm 30....okay, fine..... 25, we will see, aiming for about 35. if they are gonna stop making the RS soon, maybe i have a collectors on my hands......

[thebarber]

plenty of RS's around canada....i wouldnt worry about the collector item issue

im still the biggest fan of the 06/07 RS which just had skirts...no f/r lips

however, the 08RS and 09+RS have really grown on me....but only when lowered!

the front seats are also well worth the price.

the new aluminum rims i don't care for personally....but they'd make good winter wheels

factory fogs are nice too...

hope you get that RS soon! i forget what colour you're getting (and im too lazy to check)

[yaris2010RS]

really...i was told as of december 1st there were only about 14 of them in ontario....

and incase u actually care its gonna be blasing blue. lol. not gonna lie the RS was the only sporty car brand new i could afford. yes the aluminum rims arn't the best looking but deff better then hub caps. prob not gonna put actual rims on for atleast 2 years. gotta pay for school. and yes...... i'm a teen, its gonna get lowered as soon as the snow melts, lol, hoping to go down about 2 1/2 - 4 inches..... its gonna rub the ground, lol.

only planned mods to take place in 2010 are lowering, audio system, and little neat things in and around the car (interior lighting, smoked tags, dash light colour [fucking hate the orange/red] and lowering the front seats. also hoping to add some colour and snazz to the engine bay. over all, not planning on spending too much this year

the entire time i have the car the olny other things i plan are rims, turbo/supercharger, and possibally an x track suspension system. i personally dont like the 09 RS.....

[libraryelf]

If dealership didn't have what you wanted on the lot. Go to different dealership. Geesh, I paid $17,000 for mine in 08. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but it gets me where I need to go. I just did a third oil change, for $64 and some change.

[WeeYari]

If dealership didn't have what you wanted on the lot. Go to different dealership.

Anyone with their heart set on a RS model, as was the OP, will not be able to find one sitting on a dealer lot anywhere.

[WeeYari]

actually in the winter is gonna be amazing, quick way to shovel the snow down my driveway..... now only have to do my moms side..... and prob not gonna drop it that much or at all...we will see.... i have to get it first. and no, u lied, if anyone in the GTA wants the yaris RS that i want, basically the blue one advertized, there is an auto one sitting inside the dealer in orangville. i went by the other day and i almost died when i saw it. looks crazy!! can't wait

[yaris2010RS]

If dealership didn't have what you wanted on the lot. Go to different dealership. Geesh, I paid $17,000 for mine in 08. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but it gets me where I need to go. I just did a third oil change, for $64 and some change.
wow....it cost u how much for an oil change?? lol, in canada....well brampton ontario it cost $$37 at the dealer....lol. so amarcain cars are cheaper but their oil isn't, lol.

and on jsut about every other situation i would agree, but i'm a teen and i'm sorry, without the lip it is definatly an old lady car. yes i went shopping to inquire about the yaris and i was already sold on a base 3dr but when i saw the RS there was no doubt in my mind that was the cheapest sports car i was gonna get, lol. and when it came down to it, the 3dr i picked out ( with convenience package) the difference was only about $3000 so why not, lol

im thinking about selling my prokits in the spring...i could even put them in for you...

[swiper]

I can't blame you for feeling that way.

I was in the same shoes myself. i went on-line for a quote from toyota for a 2010 yaris 5DR HB with A/T, PP and alloy wheels. the next day someone replied and told me they HAVE the model i wanted so i walked in the next day and was credit checked and was given a finance option, remember there was no drive or inspection of any car at this point. I told him can i have it on christmas day? he said no. i said can i have it before new year, he said thats possible.:iono: so went home and called back a week later.

2 days before new year i called expecting to pick-up the car but he said it was not available yet. i said how about tomorrow, new year? he said probably.

I called up all the toyota dealers in our area and saw one. i told the salesman , do you have one IN-STOCK he said yes. i went to them he showed me the car i drove it to test and in 3 hours i was driving it home. :biggrin:

moral of the story, dont waste a serious buyers time :drool:

[b_hickman11]

So you gave them your information BEFORE actually seeing the car? Thats always rule #1

[Alien Mantis]

wow....it cost u how much for an oil change?? lol, in canada....well brampton ontario it cost $$37 at the dealer....lol. so american cars are cheaper but their oil isn't, lol.

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.

I buy Castrol oil at Walmart for $13 ( 5-quart jug ).
Oil filter from local dealer is $6.
I do it myself. That way, I know the filter isn't screwed on too tight, and some stupid wrench monkey at the quick-lube doesn't strip my drain plug/oil pan bung.

The Toyota Yaris RS is "the cheapest sports car" you are going to get?
The Yaris is NOT a "sports car". Funny how some people think they are.
The Yaris has ONE engine option, it makes 100 horsepower. Laughable.
The RS/S "sporty" model Yaris is $3,000 more ???
So you pay $3,000 for aluminum rims, and some stick-on body panel crap?
That makes it a "sports car" ?
You can buy aluminum rims for LESS than $100 each through Discount Tire in the USA.
And you have like 100 different models ( or more ) to choose from.

In order for the Yaris to be a true "sports car", they would have to offer a model with a larger TURBO-CHARGED/intercooled engine, beefy sports car suspension, larger brakes, larger wheels and tires, and a transaxle that can handle it all. They might as well redesign the overall shape, too. To make it more aerodynamic. ( lower and wider body )

At the very LEAST, Toyota should offer a larger engine in the RS/S models.
A 1.8L dohc quad valve VVT-i engine with a small turbo.
Or the big 2.4L from the Camry.

To stick some crap on a stock Yaris and call it an RS or S model, and charge $3,000 more for it, is just a rip-off.

The Yaris is a SWEET little car. It's a fuel nibbler, city car. Fun to drive. I LOVE my little Polar white 3-door hatch. But a "sports car" it will NEVER be!

:smoking:

pricing for what you name is a bit different in canada....

much more than rims and body kit on the RS...im assuming you've never checked one out

that being said, i couldnt pick one up knowing the engine's were all the same.....a proper RS w/ the 1.8L would be nice, but then it'd be an xD (which, btw, we don't have in canada (yet))

[yaris2010RS]

i agree with u, i laugh when its is called a sport car also, but really, its gonna be my civic..... only its gonna come with a body kit already and way cheaper on insurance and i personally think the RS looks sick. yes a bigger 1.8L would be even better but thats not what the yaris is.

I've made fun of people in the past with civics doing all the looks but making no more go, well in todays age its not about the go, all about the looks and saving money. how do u do that, u get a car that comes looking nice anf fresh and new but small engine but still have some kick. which i think it does. i personally think yes a turbo would be kool, but give me that little car with 180HP and u will find me on the moon. the 106HP is enough for me to get to school-home-friends-work and back without any trouble in my wallet or from the cops.

also personally i cannot stand hub caps and the Toyota rims i personally think are very nice....not riced out, gives the car a nice classy kinda look.

and just to shit talk....the RS body kit is not stick on, its bolt on :moon:

lol

i will find another post i had that lists all the extra's the RS comes with stock that the 5 dr LE does not. so the RS is the 5dr LE plus the stuff i'm going to post..... as soon as i find it......

(230AM......jsut got home from work....fucking bored!! lol)

[yaris2010RS]

I FOUND IT!!! lol, not too hard, Yarisworld has a very easy interface..... lol, well anyways here is the entire post..... i know it says Sport car again but w.e, its my sport car. i dont care what anyone says. dnw i'm not gonna rice it out but it is gonna get drivin hard.... lol, not too hard but hard enough. hoping to take it to a track in the summer.... lol

the RS is basicallt the sport. its top of Yaris hatchback with all bells and gagets yaris has to offer. main points, body kit, 6 disk in dash changer, 60/40 slit seats, power everything, extra interior leather trims (still cloth seats) keyless entry, lights do interesting things when u unlock/lock/open door/turn off car, all saftey options (extra front and side airbags) rims (not ugly ass wheel covers) heated mirrors and power mirrors, tinted glass, colour front/rear/mirrors, rear wiper, fog lamps.

Mechanical only has a few extra's such as Vehicle Stabibility control, front and rear disks breaking system, ABS, EBD and BA all included. it also sits a little wider...not exactly sure how but thats what it says in the information booklet.

[thebarber]

5dr LE w/ B package has many of those features now...including 60/40 split fold rear seats, heated mirriors, power windows/locks, rear wiper

the big things the RS gets (that are often hard to replace with aftermarket) are:
sportier shaped front seats, black sport cloth interior seating, panels, headliner, amber gauge cluster, leather steering wheel and shift knob, foglights, body kit, aluminum wheels

side note: i personally love getting steelies on a car....you slap winter tires on 'em and buy something nice for the summer....and 15" wheel/tires combos are EASY to find used in the GTA

My 08 Sedan non-sport has most of those features. IT has the 60/40 seats, power everything, keyless entry(which I installed for $35), power mirrors, tinted glass, color mirrors, ABS. I beleive on the 09 or 10 that the non-sport also has the 4 air bag system, VSC. So in conclusion, there not much of a difference between the RS and the non-RS. You are paying a lot of $ for fancy rims, plastic molding and interesting lights.....

But I'm not here to judge anyone. It's your money. If you want to spend it to make the car look more "rich" or more like a "NASCAR" go for it. I'm sure Toyota loves you for it. I'm guessing their making around a 90% profit on the extra package.

The 09 hatch is the same way......and 010 hatch and 5 dr......

[yaris2010RS]

omg, okay the car is sitting at the dealer now!! came in today...have to wait till saturday to pick it up........ it looks sick, lol, and here is something i didn't know about it, has lots of chrome trim inside, the seat material is different and where the radio is, on the yaris its silver on the RS is gunmetal/ darker grey. cant wait......

[YotaYaris]

Are you buying something like this?

Then click the 5-Door RS to the left hand side under Model.
Looks like the Yaris S package of 09.

It's basically the samething, they just changed the name from Sport (S) to Rally Sport (RS). The S or RS is usually bought by the younger buyers. Toyota stuck the word "Rally" in front of it to make it more appealing to the young folks and to increase the size of their wallets.

lol, true. but the order is wrong...RS was first...they adopted the S for the states...

however, in the echo hatchbacks, the RS was 10x hotter than the base. black interior, waaay nicer seats, leather wheel and knob, chrome accents, aluminum rims, side skirts, spoiler....was worth the dough not to have to ride in the base echo hatch

yaris RS, less so

[yaris2010RS]

it is the 09 S only with a few diff features. dont know what the inside of the 09 s looks like but for outside looks the front bumper has more black trims and it flips out at the bottom and the rear bumper is all accross the back with more black trim side skirt the same as 09. i think they were going for an evo kinda look.... lol, all i know is looks sick and love it. i stalked it lastnight in the toyota parking lot, CANT WAIT!!

[WeeYari]

After all this, if you don't have pics of that sucker up tomorrow, we be bannin' your ass ;)

yaris RS, less so

Well I live in the STATES. So when I post I am only talking about the US Yaris. The S was the FIRST in the States. The RS or S is a cosmetic car. If you want to feel like you are driving a BMW or want to think your Yaris has more HP than the other 98% Yaris's on the road then go ahead and buy the S, or the RS, or the $$$$ for Toyota's Wallet.

LMFAO....this is gonna sound bad but agreed.

but still, look at it this way, i'm a teen and thats as tricked out (riced out if u like) that i coudl really care for. yes u could get the 3dr base line yaris pay nothing to toyota and come home and do everything yourself. but the time you will spend finding parts and a body kit and the rims (toyota rims which i am quite happy with....for now) it will cost u close to the same if not more. all the extra little trims for make it feel a bit higher class then it is. sure, but this is gonna be my car for 10years at least..... it has to be 5dr(or insurance will have their way with me) and it has to look cool. dont get me wrong, yes a 1.8 turbo would be sick, but it wouldn't cost 22,500.

And FYI it will have more HP the 98% of the other yaris's and thats cuz i'm driving and i've got my pully kit and intake all lined up for summer. jsut another thought, hasn't been proven but i could see the RS being more aero dynamic... jsut a thought :middlefinger:

either way, someone is gonna get ure money... the salesmen i delt with, yes, i felt liek i was getting fucked around at the beginning but really, it wasn't his fault it took so long and he did give me a car to drive around while i was waiting. i feel i got a good price on the top end yaris and i have been told by many other dealerships they coundn't beat my price and unless i had that price on paper, they doubted the dealer would even follow through with it.

[yaris2010RS]

Just curious, did you look at the Civic Si Sedan before going all in with this car?

as for u.....your on a yaris fourm....what u doing talkign about civics, lol

dont tell anyone but i was looking at the civic si. it was my drivers ed car (not the si but a brand new civic) inside is nice but i think they are fugly. and relaly, the civic base line (dont even think its comes with wheels) is like 16,995 and the si is like 32,000. FUCK THAT!! y am i gonna get a car i dont like and is a shit load more expensive(mind u i didn't bargain for it, he told me that and i said thank u, see u later) if i got that, it would have been to show off, i didn't even like the way it drove. my 2 top choices were yaris and soul (new soul sport is ouber nice!!) both less then 25,000. next choice would have been Hyundai, basically any everyday car they sell for 20,000-30,000(all felt the same) ....and then would have been the Mazda 3 for $35,000. i test drove a shit load of cars and my 2 top pics, yaris and soul, lol. no civic.

[yaris2010RS]

wow....i think i need to read over my stuff before i post it, lol, sorry

[yaris2010RS]

and as for the pic concern, dnw, lol. i cant wait to take pics either. i took pics lastnight on my way home from work on ym phone when the car was outside but they dont look so good, i will try to post them. haven't posted any pics yet.... as for tonight the car was put away inside the shop all nice and clean. lol. as it will stay. and its all nice a warm, lol. (yes i creap toyota, see what they are doing with my car)

[yaris2010RS]

here are the pics from the other night.....

as soon as i get the car i will post more pics (better pics, with real camera not blackberry at night)

and sunday gonna do a photoshoot.... got a sick spot in mississauga with lights and stuff, gonna look real nice

PS, i have tried this manytimes but does anyone know how to change the name of a thread?

[YotaYaris]

I know the cars up there cost more than they do here, but I didnt think it was that much more. I only asked about the Si sedan because the price here is about $22,000, but can be had for closer to $20,000.

You made a good choice, and thats because it is what you want. You will make the payment. So you are the one who needs to be happy.

Thats a nice looking 5dr !!

and i have a house w/ a garage if you need a spring install

You will need that extra HP in order to be able to pull all of that extra weight from the S package. Why do you have to have a 5dr for insurance?

[yaris2010RS]

well i got the 5rd yes for insurance reasons but also, its kinda gay, the RS package only can come on the 5dr. it looks so much better 3dr but i needed the lip kit. also if i'm gonna have this car for about 10-15 years, gonna have a family eventually, lol. its my sporty mini van, lol.

and yeah, i went in and they said all in all over 30,000 off the lot for the si. and really i dont like it at all.

thanks barber, i'll keep it in mind and have been already shopping around the fourm to see who lives in the area and who could give me a hand for some installs, the extra hands are always great. i have a garage and most tools needed. even a few random wtf could i ever use this tool for, oh wait, right here, perfect, lol.

[yaris2010RS]

okay okay, i'm home, lol, long day of amazing yaris!! lol, i have 230km on her already, lol.

so anyways, i picked it up from the dealer at 6 and it was so sick!! not only are the seats bucket seats but they are really really soft foam. was told to keep it under 80 for the most part but if i want to drive hwy have to accelerate and decelerate (90-110 within 30seconds to 1min)

jsut a few tihngs about the car, i had said it was all around disks, i lied, disk front, drum back. interior very very nice, nice colours and stiching too. hate the orange dash, i knew this from day one but i really really need to change that. system i think is a-okay. the rs apparently comes with an upgraded audio system but i only thought the extra was a 6 in dash HU but it might have better speakers. the drive by wire is gonna take alot of getting use to.... for the most part its fine (driving at a steady speed) but to take off the gas has a "dead zone" then becomes very sensitive. if i dont get it within a week or so gonna get a hold of garm and get drive by cable. clutch feels very nice and shifting after figuring out(for the most part) the drive by wire the shift is really really smooth. stops on a dime, turnes on a dime and accelerates....well i haven't pushed it yet but as far as i can tell,for a little yaris, not that bad. tires look really really good, i think they will be nice when it finally snows.

sometihng i'm confussed about...has anyone done drifting or powersliding yet? i notice if the wheels at all slip the trac flashes and i have a trac off button..... i didn't think a standard could have trac.... will it jsut flash to inform me or will it do something? and i'm gonna be pissed if it will apply breaking-to-each-wheel-in-event-i'm-sliding-sideways (B.T.E.W.I.E.I.S.S system) or i believe its B.A. (breaking assist) [maybe B.S. who knows..] cuz if it has BA i believe it cannot be turned off..... does anyone know how to disable it if it does have it (fix the problem before i even find out if the car has a problem.....that productivity!)

overall, love it so far

oh, except one thing.... the new car smell....well, its not so fresh or new car smelling... i personally think it smellls like ciggerette smoke and b.o. and new car all mixed together....my theory is the guy that drove it off the truck isn't too fresh of a guy, lol. my salesman said he was gonan call on monday to see how its going i'm gonna tell him to sniff it.... kinda nasty. hopefiully it will go away by monday but i love the new car smell, i can't believe i'm gonna miss out on it

[yaris2010RS]

FYI i didn't pre read my story so sorry in advance, lol

[yaris2010RS]

and, seeing how i didn't wanna get kicked out of the fourm, lol, here are some pics. i wasn't gonna take any cuz i left camera at home so its with my phone again....tomorrow photoshoot!! anyone with nothing better to do 2morro evening (7ish maybe, iunno forsure) gonna go down to mississauga at hwy 10 and 407, neat lights on the building at the corner, gonna give it a shot and see how they turn out.

Car looks great. Congrats!

Mine is one of the first on the road in Canada, and here I am looking at the newest one on Canadian roads. Was a bit concerned about how you'd feel about her after having been in a 'rolla S for a week. Take it easy during the break in period.

Can't believe that only 230 klics in and you're talking about drifting!

congrats on one of the best looking colors in this model's lineup.....

[b_hickman11]

well i got the 5rd yes for insurance reasons but also, its kinda gay, the RS package only can come on the 5dr.

Why would you have to get the 5 dr for your insurance? The RS package is not limited to just the 5 dr. In my region, it comes on the 3 dr and the Sedan.

[wooverstone8]

Congrats on the new Yaris.

[yaris2010RS]

for me in ontario (if not all of canada) the RS is only on the 5dr. and insurance on a brand new car is bad enough, on a 3dr insurance goes up (especially for 18y/o)

[b_hickman11]

for me in ontario (if not all of canada) the RS is only on the 5dr. and insurance on a brand new car is bad enough, on a 3dr insurance goes up (especially for 18y/o)

Glad I live in Tx where we don't have a different rate for a 3 dr and 4 dr Yaris. We do have different rates for sports cars though. For example, a Mustang's rate is a lot higher than the Yaris.

[yaris2010RS]

wow, thats not bad. yeah man, here in ontario yor rate will go up depending on ure sex, colour of car, type of car, amount of doors, amount of seats, engine size (4l, V6, V8, V12) your postal code (if lots of claims happen in ure area), past driving record (and my insurance company tried to screw me over big time cuz of my fathers driving record) if ure car is classified as a sport or coupe or limited edition...its really bad here. thought it was like this all over north america.....

i asked...colour doesnt matter

vehicle type and # of doors does.

my xrs was a wagon, not a hatch = win win....but they new it was an xrs so it was higher

i don't pay anymore for my red 3dr than i would a black 3dr (even though red cars are faster)

lmao, if u ask they will give u a straight forward calculation on how they get ure rate, but in reality it is a personal choice of the operator/insurance company. they say red isn't more expensive but call an insurance company asking quotes on w.e car in red, then in a day or so call again and ask about blue.... thats what i did when i was looking at getting a 1990 celica. red and black they wanted more for, the white one was a bit better. (also for my age a red car in my hands i guess would go faster then a white one...) dont get me wrong, they have reasons for all the price fluctuations but it is simply way too much. govenrment needs to step in and stop insurance prices and gas prices.

im not even sure they asked what colour of car we were buying when i got the quote...i don't think they're allowed?

ummm.....wrong.

I'm not going into battle with you as it certainly isn't worth it. Take it from someone who just exited that industry after 19 years (and no, I didn't sell it so I'm innocent).

[yaris2010RS]

lol, deffinatly not worth it. i only know what i have been exposed to and really, i dont know all the sides or conditions behind my personal results. definatly if u jsut got out of the buisness (doubt u could call it industry) you know much more about the subject then i do.

lol, and could that be behind ure low insurance rates? lol

[yaris2010RS]

nvm, my bad, barber said he had good rates, but i bet u do too

LOL, ....and the gloves are now off bud ;)

My last comments on insurance. Yes, it does suck to be a teenager driving these days. I don't know how they/families can afford it. However, the reality is that insurance companies lose money on auto insurance. The average company will lose between 5 to 10 cents on every dollar they collect from you. This is called an underwriting loss. Where the industry trys to make a profit, is from wisely investing those premium dollars for the short period of time that they have it, before it ultimately gets paid out to someone in a claim.

The real problem with the insurance industry, legal and health systems.

[yaris2010RS]

lmao, its true, and in canada (brampton....) lots of people jsut looking for a claim, they think they are getting free money and screwing the insurance company...... they are screwing the honest ones. this is how society works..... the ones in the"wrong" win when the ones following the rules hold up society and allow the slacks to stay and live the way they are..... different arguement for a different time i guess.....

Why would you have to get the 5 dr for your insurance? The RS package is not limited to just the 5 dr. In my region, it comes on the 3 dr and the Sedan.

In Alaska, the sport only comes in the four door hatch as well. Sad times.

Longest thread in history? I think not. 1stToyota and I went back in forth back in the summer over the drop-in K&N....Can't remember exactly how many pages it had but it was way more than 6. More in the 15-20 range. Man that was fun!

[yaris2010RS]

lol, its true it is fun. not gonna lie, i feel the the title no longer works as when i started the thread i felt i was getting screwed around by toyota. but man, its fun. i lvoe the people on here and this is where i will post most of my questions and jsut random talks.

and come on, we can make it more then 20 pages long. not gonan lie, i do think this is the longest thread on yarisworld that has to do with nothing!! its random talking about randomstuff. it started as a concern but now its jsut shits and giggles.

[RUFFSTUFF]

[YarisOwnersDad]

I think it is ridiculous to keep posting inane comments just to make a thread longer. I will have no part of such a thing!
