New 2012 Yaris ZR Owner

Coming up to a month of ownership of my little silver pearl ZR. Had a Mazda 323 Astina BG die on me, so we went looking for a nice small new car. Test drove a few Mazda's, Kia's, Suzuki's and Ford's, but ultimately settled for the sports manual Yaris. In Australia we get the YR as the base model, the YRS as the mid range, the YRX as the auto 5-door sedan, or the new comer ZR model. I still have to get window tint (the guys were on holidays when we picked it up), but I'm enjoying it so much. I'm 6'1", and this is the first car I've been in that I've had to move the seat forward to feel comfortable. Will post some pics soon (gotta give it a wash after the rain earlier). Thanks for having a great forum, I've been enjoying reading all your mods and build logs (giving me ideas...).
Cheers,
- Adam :biggrin:

I'm soooo mad we don't have that model in the US.

I want that rear hatch spoiler on my car...

[Aiko Cargo]

Yes we in the US miss a lot of nice model cars.

to the thread starter, do you happen to have any actual pics of the car?? i love to seem some exterior and interior shots, so we can see and compare how the same or different they are.

[SineWave]

No problem, I just took these shots then. Just got the tinting done. ^_^

[JTDBT903]

WOW! that looks awesome!

[CanIHazYarisHatch?]

That is one sweet Yaris. Damn.

Dig the subtle touch of the red stitching on the steering wheel and boot. Congrats on the new ride.

OP, what made you decide to chose the Yaris over it's contemporary rivals?

[SineWave]

It's actually orange stitching, and soft leather. It's beautiful to hold.
I chose it mainly because of the quality of the ride/comfortability. All other cars in the price range felt cramped and hollow. There's a nice solid feel to all the doors and interior panels in the Yaris. Oh, and it's the only one to come with bucket seats standard!! :P

[junorico24]

Nice ride....:wink:

[CPALK719]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 dr is growing on me quickly...

[SineWave]

Cheers. Just finished replacing the rear license plate lamps and the two interior lamps with white T10 LEDs.
3 door is great, except for my long legs. It's okay when there's plenty of room to open the longer doors, but when you park next to other cars or in the garage, it's a little cramped. But it definitely looks much better than the 5 door models.

Nice looking Yaris fella, really would like the sideskirts for my little Yaris.

That big red 'P' tacked on to the tags is a real eyesore. What's it for?

[SineWave]

Ahh, yeah. That's my red Provisional License plate. If I get pulled over and don't have them on, I get fined. :/

Nice car :) I just bought one of them too :D
