Hi all,

I'm new to this forum (i'm from Sydney, Australia)! Haven't got a Yaris but shortly I will. Planning to get one with 3 door, manual, 1.5L, black or blue with bodykit. This is all I can say for now.

I've always been a FAN of TOYOTA! Since I got my license I've been driving the Camry V6 (such a nice car n nice power. here is the link to my cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2062019) but now I want something a little bit newer.

Just a few questions..... Should I get the 1.3L or 1.5L engine? is there a major different with the fuel consumption? 1 full tank how many KM can I get from a 1.3L & 1.5L engine??

Anyway Love to hear from all you Yarises people! :wink:

Regards,
Leon

I really doubt that there is much difference in fuel economy between the two engines. There are other differences: if you live in hilly country, the 1.5 will give you more torque for climbing. If you live in the flats, then there will be no advantage other than Stoplight GPs (if that's the case, you likely have th wrong car anyhow). The only other thing I can think of will have to do with licensing and insurance: some jurisdictions charge more for larger engines...

If you learned on a Toyota, then you started at the top!

Definitely get the YRS or YRX. And wait til January. Get a car with a 2008 stamp. It makes say, 2 months more waiting for you, but it will make your car worth more when you sell it.
