Holy cow - I haven't been here in forever! I didn't even remember I was the one who started the jolt yellow thread! lol

I've got 180k miles on mine now and it doesn't look anywhere near that pretty. In the shop for its second front bumper replacement after tangling with a piece of sheet metal:(

I sure wish they had a Yellow when I got my 2013 - Or a Green for that matter...BUT, If they had a bigger choice of colors, I would have been up s**t creek w/o a paddle trying to make that decision!
Every car choice is so watered-down in the States, it wasn't like that years ago. Here's to Yellow Yaris' -

As she sits today before the modding with 183k miles:

[yougojay]

I LOVE your Yellow Yaris
I'd have a yellow one if they offered it in 2013 -
Really, really like this car, you would never know by this photo that is has 183,000 miles on it...that's unreal.

Just rolled 233,000 miles... getting ready to revamp the whole front end with a Yaris S spoiler and Xpel or 3m clear bra by the spring. Driving without one has resulted in my front end looking like I was behind a guy firing a shotgun!?!

233,000 miles?! Wow!

I've recently started trolling around Yarisworld again after a very long hiatus. Was reading my old posts and was reminded about the unfortunate demise of my beautiful little yellow jolt S that came to me straight from Japan. It was totaled in an accident in mid-2010 where another driver rear ended me on the freeway (traffic had come to a sudden stop and they were still going pretty fast) and pushed me into the car in front of me. Can't find a picture of the back end right now, but the car was pretty effed up.



Luckily my mom works for Toyota HQ, so ordering a new one through corporate with exactly all of the features I wanted was easy enough, but by the time I was able to order it I had to order a 2011 and yellow jolt was not a color option. *sobs*

So now I have a 2011 Yaris S 3-dr 5-speed manual in absolutely red. It's been good to me and will be turning over to 100k miles in the next month or so.

My first Yaris was a bit of an odd ball when I think back on it now. The yellow color/S combination that was supposedly super rare (I've never seen another one like it) plus the fact that when I ordered it, somehow the power package was left out, so it came completely manual everything....manual side mirrors, hand crank windows, the weird non-60/40 back bench seat. I was pissed at first about that, but got over it pretty quickly because of how funny it was when people would get into my brand new car and puzzle over the crank windows. It also had a 5-speed manual transmission. That car was a hilarious anomaly. I miss it. If I ever have to get my current Yaris repainted for whatever reason, I'm definitely painting it yellow.

Long live the yellow yaris!

Interesting front bumper/lip combo on the yellow.

Congrats on coming up on 100k with the absolute red. Wouldn't mind seeing some pics of it

Hey y'all....

So I've got this 2009 Yaris, It's got 205k miles on the engine, and I just replaced the clutch. So I'm hoping it will be with me for miles to come.

Also, I thought it would make me feel a little better about the cost of the repair to spruce it up a bit, show it a little love. You can't tell from these pics, but the front bumper has a crack (from a previous owner), and the clear coat is coming off.

I almost never see another Jolt hatchback! I love that there are others out there. Mine's just an ordinary working person's car..... it's completely stock, and I have no budget. But I'd love to fix it up a bit somehow. Shown here a few months ago with my new bike. (The bike has been upgraded quite a bit since these photos!)

Nice to meet you.

Oh boy, I know of at least one person on this forum that is super jelly of your ride based on the color and manual trans combo.

Hey, it looks like you've got some tint on, which is good. Also rocking the naked steelies instead of the hubcaps - +1 for that in my book.

You know, for under $200 and a little elbow grease, you could throw a set of springs on and bring it down an inch or two. The effect would be dramatic.

Very nice. That's me, "super jelly." I tried to find a 5-speed Yellow Jolt for months. Not a single one came up for sale in the whole country, so I gave up and settled for a Blazing Blue with all the other features I was hoping for.

Keep it going, you've got something special.
