Just bought a 2010 gas sipper...
Hey guys!
I just sold my 2000 Celica for something a little more economical (even though I use to get 35-38 MPG in my 6 speed Celica)... These are the dealer pics, so I will eventually post some better higher quality pictures when I get the interior and exterior detailed to my liking... I don't plan on doing ANYTHING to it... I will although change the sound outputs... The OEM head-unit will be staying, I have a GROM audio unit I can use with that. The speakers will be replaced with Infinity and Rockford Fosgate, all wired to a 4-channel Rockford amplifier... I will be trying my hardest to break 50 MPG and HOPEFULLY get to 55... I've always driven a standard transmission, so I know what I'm doing... I ended up getting a Yaris "L" model... It's the base of the base. Crank windows and manual locks, just how I like it... I got 40 MPG on the first 3/4 of a tank, with the A/C on the whole time and driving on the highway like a dick. It has 19,500 miles on it, it's a 2010... It's nice because it still has the Toyota 7 year/100k engine and trans warranty. The car is uglier than sin, but I love how economical it is, especially since gasoline prices will always go up. |

Hand crank windows?....manual locks?
Why... the next thing you'll be saying you dont have power mirrors or remote entry! I guess you're going to get one of those econo gauges huh? Good luck with that 55 mpg thing. But I you get 45 mpg please tell me how you do it!

Congrats... The 2010 would be my preferred year for a used one because of the tach.
And I like the looks of it quite a bit. In most ways I like the look of this one more than the 2012 version. BTW, I don't mind cranking my own windows one bit, but I do wish it weren't so hard to find keyless entry on the used ones! |
