I'm looking into the 2011-2012 year as I love the body design when you pair them with aftermarket wheels and coilovers. They had the EJ255 engine. I'm well aware of the potential failure but I'm not looking to go much past 300hp. I'm coming from driving an NA Yaris so I'm looking for it to be my hobby car to upgrade suspensions, appearance and slight engine mod like up to a stage 2. To be used as a DD, autoX and track day car, not for any real serious racing.

The stock engine should be well able to handle that mild power, and if not, well just more time spent for me to learn how to rebuild an engine. I'm planning on having my Yaris for another decade at least so it gives me a DD when my hobby car is on a lift ;)
