carolina owners

[kngrsll]

any yaris drivers here from the carolina's?? i've seen ALOT around spartanburg and further out. i know ive seen one of every color hatchback and a few sedans. i have to say, i like every color available, even the red, but i envy the black! but white is easy to clean so its all good... :)

[atebit]

Just picked up a white 07 sedan in NC, near Raleigh.

Yo! I'm in the Columbia metropolitan area (Lugoff).

[HTM Yaris]

Ahhh there you are . Another HTM guy . I feel at home now :)

[Racer X-8]

Man, is it happening everywhere? I dunno, but, James Irvan Toyota in Lugoff has just recently in the past couple of weeks amassed a whole freakin fleet of Yarisi. The selection of colors looks pretty nice too. 6 lb's & 4 sedans.

Is this happening everywhere? Till now, there was maybe one sedan. Never a liftback...

:thumbup: From Lexington, NC

Just bought my Absolutely Red Yaris Sedan last friday from a dealership in Salisbury! I am loving it. I went from a gas guzzling 10 MPG truck to this. I am so happy! The dealer has been having a hard time keeping them in stock, only abour 3 or four, I just went down there today for another business matter and 2 of them had been sold since last week.

I usually frequent the Greensboro, High Point area and I have seen a few around. I passed some girl in a grey one and we exchanged glances and a smile.

I'm Two weeks now in my Blazin Blue Liftback. Wife has a 2005 Scion XA. That something to do with the purchase. I'm enjoying driving this car. 4 tanks of gas and all 40.2-40.9 MPG. Sold my old truck to my retired father. My commute gas savings are almost paying for the car.

Pfafftown, NC. (Outside of Winston-Salem)

Whittier NC here ......07 Black Yaris Sedan owner since Aug. 2007 we got it cause it's super easy on gas and looks really cool and I am still impressed with how good and quite it runs. My only issue's are the seat belt sometimes doesn't retract all the way when getting out of the car and the little nuts that hold the engine cover on are very weak I twisted the nut to tight and snapped the bolt easy to fix though!

[Elroy]

Outside Charlotte, NC here....just bought my 07 Blazin blue liftback a week and a half ago...

I found you oleblue!

I'm almost a year in my Abs Red 3-door. I'll have to start measuring my MPG again and we'll compare.

Is anyone here using synthetic oil?

[HTM Yaris]

every 2500 miles I change my synthetic 5W30 . I have changed my oil 10 times thus far .

[Racer X-8]

Starting on its 2nd Mobil 1 synthetic change after 3 dino changes. No improvement yet, actually, I see a reduction in mpg. Could be other factors in my case though.
1) Winter.
2) Different person (wife) driving to a different place of work (downtown Cola.). She's known to not dilly-dally. A non-granny type.

0,000 miles - new - dino
5,000 miles free Toyota oil change - dino
10,000 miles - Castrol GTX 5W-30 - dino
15,000 miles Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic
20,000 miles Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic
currently at 20,500 miles

We'll see...

[Proteus]

I've been using Mobil synthetic since my first change. There's no way I'm changing it every 2500 miles, though. I've had this car less than a year and it already has 17,000 miles on it. I figure with the synthetic the recommended 5,000-mile oil change is often enough. Last time I changed it, the oil was still honey-colored. 2500 is dedicated!

[HTM Yaris]

This is why I change my oil every 2500 miles . Notice the body roll . How much you wanna bet that my oil is NOT in my oil pan ?

[Nickxpax]

Add another new yaris owner to NC. I picked up my red yaris sedan in Dec with only 20 miles on it, now I've just turned 10,400. Love the car. Located in Greensboro, NC

[srivinus]

Picked up a Black base liftback a week ago. Located in Charlotte. I went from a VW Beetle (Maint. nightmare) to this one. I am very happy with it. The engine is smaller than my bug, but the acceleration is about the same with 800 lbs difference in weight.

I do a LOT of parallel parking downtown and this is perfect.

Welcome aboard . Check out the Dragon Cruise post . Hopefully you peeps can attend .

[Irishlass]

Hi folks, I've brought another red Yaris to North Carolina. After driving drab, boring stuff for the last 3 or so years I've gone red, small but comfortable and great gas mileage... just rolled 1100 so still in love. :wink:

[Irishlass]

Did the Dragon last year in a Lotus Elise.... great fun!

[mas_erati]

anderson here

[Nickxpax]

You have a lotus elise? I've got one too...still have not done the dragon yet:frown:

Did the Dragon last year in a Lotus Elise.... great fun!

[Irishlass]

Small world... and the Elise is going away. She is going to be loved by a nice guy in Newport VA. My boyfriend's commuter car is right on the edge of being replaced. No one wants 2 car payments. :frown: we will miss the Lotus, it's a great car....

[WMERCERECU77]

Just brought home a Meteric Metallic S :smile: Liftback. Awesome little car. You do not see many Yaris around here. People look at your car at the light and then probably to their fuel gauges!

[nsmitchell]

I'm going to be in Florence, SC soon. Myrtle Beach and Charleston as well. Probably in about a month. Just a business trip. We are setting up a new store and I will be setting up all the PC's and network and stuff.

BTW - I use Mobil-1 5W-30 too.

[Klink10]
