(Help) Me Jealous? Friend buys 2010 Yaris.

[*MAD DOG*]

It's time for a *MAD DOG* confessional. I have a workmate who I’ve convinced to buy a Yaris. He's trading in his POS late 80's-early 90's Suzuki 4x4 to get a Yaris. It's a clunker that barely runs.

I'm a little jealous. He's getting a 2010 Yaris for.........

$15,990 AUD drive away

Ok it's a manual and I don't like driving manual. But it comes with fixed priced scheduled servicing, only $130 a service for every 10,000km. He gets a 6 year warranty, I got 3 years. He's getting a 5 door for the 3 door price. Free genuine floor mats.

Sure he's getting the 1.3 Litre engine, but to be honest the difference between both is negligible, my wife has a 1.3 Litre Yaris and I have the 1.5 Litre. He's only getting two airbags, I have the whole set of 7. Is it wrong to be jealous?

I know my car is better than his as I have 1.5 Litre (80kw), YRX Body kit, Blutooth Radio, 7 Airbags, better trim, map pockets, front passenger under seat tray, cruise control (aftermarket), 4 speakers, tilt and telescopic steering column, fog lights and Audio controls on a leather steering wheel.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad for him, but it's making me think I should get a new 2010 Yaris when I have a perfectly good 2007 Yaris that's only done 35,000km.

Thoughts, comments people?
