Just bought a 2010 gas sipper...

[narly charley]

Hey guys!

I just sold my 2000 Celica for something a little more economical (even though I use to get 35-38 MPG in my 6 speed Celica)...

These are the dealer pics, so I will eventually post some better higher quality pictures when I get the interior and exterior detailed to my liking... I don't plan on doing ANYTHING to it... I will although change the sound outputs... The OEM head-unit will be staying, I have a GROM audio unit I can use with that. The speakers will be replaced with Infinity and Rockford Fosgate, all wired to a 4-channel Rockford amplifier...

I will be trying my hardest to break 50 MPG and HOPEFULLY get to 55... I've always driven a standard transmission, so I know what I'm doing...

I ended up getting a Yaris "L" model... It's the base of the base. Crank windows and manual locks, just how I like it...

I got 40 MPG on the first 3/4 of a tank, with the A/C on the whole time and driving on the highway like a dick.

It has 19,500 miles on it, it's a 2010... It's nice because it still has the Toyota 7 year/100k engine and trans warranty.

The car is uglier than sin, but I love how economical it is, especially since gasoline prices will always go up.

I don't plan on doing ANYTHING to it...

Hand crank windows?....manual locks?

Why... the next thing you'll be saying you dont have power mirrors or remote entry! :eek::iono:

I guess you're going to get one of those econo gauges huh?

Good luck with that 55 mpg thing. :cool:

But I you get 45 mpg please tell me how you do it! :bow:

I have hand crank windows and keyed entry (although the locking mechanisms are electric) in my 2012. I believe that this will be the last year of non electric windows.

ewww wasted weight on electronics. such a bad thing.

by the way op, the looks of the car will grow on you.

[chocolab]

Congrats... The 2010 would be my preferred year for a used one because of the tach.

And I like the looks of it quite a bit. In most ways I like the look of this one more than the 2012 version.

BTW, I don't mind cranking my own windows one bit, but I do wish it weren't so hard to find keyless entry on the used ones!

Just because I had to get home to go to work, otherwise I drive the speed limit.

Sweet! There isn't too much you can do... Use synthetic oil, tire pressure... If you want to help a bit more, get a cold air intake, and an aftermarket exhaust to let the 2ZZ breath a bit better.

Oh yes! And no, I probably won't get any kind of gauges. Getting 45 MPG will be very easy, especially when I can drive with the windows up and no A/C. :tongue:

[DebbyM46227]

It's not ugly! BTW, I have crank windows and manual locks, too!

[JML]

Congrats. I might bring home a blue 2010 tomorrow.
