Not a bad choice, even if it is the K20A3=no top end. But hey, we're comparing this to a Yaris! haha, no comparison there. Plus, you can easily find nice late model examples for just over $10K.

Ha lol .. that was a good one! I started off with a 1991 Prizm (Toyota Corolla) then moved on to Nissan (other car before that was not my choice).

But on a serious note, I know what u mean, most people start off with Hondas.

I have no problem with them, its that Ithey have a bad rep out here and never wanted to get associated with.

hi All,

I really couldn't give a sh%t what magazines, critics say.... they don't have to live with the car!!!

I never liked Honda because parts and service are expensive. Honda's extra performance(if any) doesn't outweigh the extra cost.

All I can say is that the Yaris is bloody well built.... even I'm surprised. When everyone else is throwing they're car's into the wreckers, I'll still be driving in my Yaris.... if there is still petrol around anyway.

Thanks

Can you get the LB with cruise? I have yet to see it offered.

Nope, sadly.

Doc Zaius · 02-09-2007, 01:01 AM

I thought you could. Its a dealer option in Canada for the 2007 line. And I've heard the '06s can be fitted with them. I'm not 100% sure though... do some poking around!

I guess my LB's speed is being controlled by magic!

Yes, you can get cruise on a liftback.

There has been an issue or two with the Rostra unit w/ manual trannies, thats all.

Woops, my mistake. Funny post though.

EDIT: Still don't see it as a option on Toyota.com???

magoo_lc1 · 02-09-2007, 11:05 PM

Me neither. I have seen the aftermarket kit though. What do you guys think. SSR professors or enkei rpf1 or a old school rim like ssr-gpo. If you dont know what the gp-o looks like it looks like a bbs mesh. Most of the rims i like are on this page.

I like the star shark and reverse mesh. IM a big fan of old school though.

That site has some amazing wheels! I'm a wheel whore, I even got my Dad to throw some Volk TE-37's on his 00 NSX back in the day.

Those reverse mesh SSR's are the sweetness. The star shark's are a acuired taste, I like them too. The professors are ho hum IMO compared to some of the other choices, I especially love the RPF1's...and the are light as heck to boot.

magoo_lc1 · 02-10-2007, 12:03 AM

Yeah, polished te37 would look sick on a blue yaris.
