From Klg, Selangor. Yaris's for my wife but most of d time I'm driving. Got d car on end May'06. If not because of my wife i won't buy such an expensive car for such a small size. Anyway t car is 1.5S ( Pale Orange ), up to today there not many Yaris car around Klg & even K.L. Most of them said it a nice car but very expensive.

RM90K+ for a Yaris there, right? No wonder proton and perodua will always be best sellers

well, i've drove a Proton Wira Aeroback 1.5GLi for more than 7 years & although it didn't give any major problem, the assembly parts wear & tear + all kinds of wierd sounds during driving are just quite unbearable... :(

agreed that Yaris Hatchback is on the "enonomy/cheapest" in the toyota cars lineup & its being charged over expansive here in my country, but the over all assembly quality is more than satisfactory to me...

i'm not going to start any kind of fruitless complaints/debates on overprice, proctective policy etc... thus... peace... :)

to add...
hi Loh, its still rare in Malaysia but on the positive side, this will give it the "eye turning factor"... :D

roughly, yeah... there's like a 300% import tax on cars, so only the locally produced cars are affordable. And they still sell 20 year old designs that probably would fail so badly in any real crash test

It's the same here, but Toyota, Honda and other Japanese companies manufacture here, so there's a lot more choice for affordable cars.

But anyway, I'm happy to see you guys going for the Yaris, it will definitely be a rare sight, so make'em look good!

well, i intend to let it keep the original look for few years before i start to "add stuff" hahaha... frankly, i'm not a big fan for modding... but since i get the 1.5G version which is without any factory install body-kit, ya... i might survey for it in the future...
The only concern i have is since this vehicle is rare (at least currently), thus the availability & choices of such add-ons will be very limited...

Well if you want anything from the country up north, let me know

By the way, just a quick question, looking at the 3D preview on Toyota Malaysia's site, it looks like the Yaris there has the US-style thick rear bumper, is it actually like that?

Only difference is the rear bumper's depth. Meaning that rear bumper skirts for Japan/Thailand/Europe models would not fit on these bumpers wihtout modification.

It's a bit difficult to tell, though, best is to take a picture from the side of the car.

For example..

Big Butt US model:


Small butt model:


Look how much it sticks out below the tail lights
