Rik's New 2010 Toyota Yaris

[Rikster]

Hi i'm Rik from holland here are some pic's of my new Yaris! It's only a 1.0 3cylinder so it aint fast but very fuel efficient.
That's because in holland the fuel costs 1.48 euro a liter :cry: (7,60 us dollar a gallon)
next week i'm gonna get my windows tinted! and i've already got some new 15" Work wheels (waiting for some decent weather:wink:).

Welcome to the forum nice wheels tak some after pic to show us how they look

[Kongo-Otto]

These wheels look fantastic. Too bad there is no TÜV report available so we cannot use them over here in Germany.

[minired5stby]

Nice wheels but euro gas prices are nuts. I hope it never gets that high here in america, knock on wood.

[DARK AGE 53]

Congrats, your new Yaris is going to look great with those wheels.:thumbup:

[advocate]

The wheels are gorgeous, the gas prices, not so much!

Welcome to the forums! :thumbsup:
That's a great car/wheel combination.

I also wish we could have that color over here. Might actually get it changed to that in a year or two.

It's a little sticker from my toyota dealer, which will be removed later on!

How is the lil 1.0 litre like to drive?

[Rikster]

How is the lil 1.0 litre like to drive?

Well it's pretty slow but still very smooth to drive, it only got 69Hp so it's enough to come along with all the traffic and it makes fast cars go even faster ;)
and it's good fun when your into fuel efficiency, bet it's more fuel efficient on the highway than a prius!! :thumbsup:

Maybe ill make a video sometime and post it on youtube (and yarisworld)

[spookz]

We call it Graphite in Australia. Very beautiful colour. Looking forward to the video and more photos! =)

Ash grey's code is (1G3), not sure it's the same one:iono:

[Sandwash]

Dashboard similar to '09 in USA, aside from larger e-screen where radio readout located. Do you have gps/nav? Why the much larger screen in Europe - anyone know?

[2009BBPliftback]

wow and I thought our 1.5l was little

[advocate]

Very nice choice of wheel. Can't wait to see it slammed!

[spookz]

The colour suits beautifully! Good work! :P

[why?]

gas mileage on that must be great.

looks good too.

[Kal-El]

Nice!

I can't believe Toyota makes a Yaris with 69hp. I can't imagine you guys drive highway out there. That would kill those engines. No?

That engine almost exactly matches up with the Smart Fortwo (US version anyway). It has a 1.0 3-cylinder 70 hp engine. And the Smart is 500lbs less than the Yaris! Yet, the Smart get's an underwhelming 33/41 mpg (EPA) rating.

This begs the question as to what the MPG rating is for the 1.0 Yaris (EPA equivalent). Because often times, a lower displacement engine doesn't benefit too much because it has to work a lot harder. Anyone have an EPA conversion rating?

Our 106hp engine is the smallest engine in the US (other than the Smart) although not the slowest.

[2009BBPliftback]

I guess im interested in this 1.0l motor. how does it run? we are stuck with the 1.5l 106hp motor here in the states. I think the 1.0l would be awsome!!

The 1.0 runs pretty well, even on the highway! Before the Yaris i had a Toyota Aygo which had the same 1.0 and it weights 440Lbs less than Yaris!
The aygo was pretty quick, capable of doing 60mph in 2nd gear and 0-60 in 11,5 seconds!
The Yaris isn't as quick as the Aygo, but its much smoother to drive, and like the Aygo it doesn't have any problem keeping up with the traffic on the highway (speedlimits in holland are 60mph or 75mph)! maybe ill make a movie sometime to show you how it runs!

I think the 1.5 doesn't deliver enough power for it's displacement!
In holland we have the new 1.3 with a start/stop system which has 99hp, and in the Toyota Auris there's a 1.6 liter available which has 132hp!
Don't know why toyota is still selling them with 1.5's in the US?

[BluYrs]

As for the last question- I'm thinking it's got to be the quality of gasoline over there. It's just different standards and the need to ensure long life for the engine. I've heard that the US Smart comes with instructions to only use high grade (not sure of the terms) gasoline.

But to the actual topic- the 1,0 is great. Powerful enough to carry the weight of the Yaris. Sure, you need to work the gears more often than on a more powerful engine, but I don't mind. Plus, you're more likely to be in the right gear for a quick sprint :) I love the sound of the 3-pot engine too- it sounds great when it's warm. When cold, it sounds too much like a diesel...

[Rikster]

made another picture of my yaris today
