Is my 2017 Yaris SE w/ manual transmission extremely rare? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Okay, I'm starting to think Barcelona red is a rollout (phasing out) color. It's no longer an official color for the 2017 Yaris.

2017 SE red (non 2 tone) auto no nav

If you don't mind driving down to Mission Hills, CA, they have a Barcelona red automatic 2017 SE without nav on the ground right now. They haven't had it that long.

Might just be me, however, doesn't show up on my phone, nor on my work computer. I'll check when I get home. Want to see that unicorn.

Work fine for me. Here is your main shot, just a little larger.

Your post of his pic worked for me. lol.

Looks good, MeepMeep. You should get a CF hood ;)

For the Yaris, I like 3R3 over 3T3. I think 3T3 should be kept on larger cars. Curious to see a Yaris in person in 3T3.

Congrats on the manual SE.

They were also rare back in 2015, and I had to go out-of-state to find and buy one. At the time, there wasn't even a dozen listed in the entire country - probably because they are much more difficult to sell today, and have only a small niche fanbase.

I'm 18 months into my ownership experience thus far, and there still isn't another vehicle that I would rather have in its place at anywhere near its price-point. I will say though that after having driven nothing but manuals since I started driving my first car in 1982, that I am finally ready to go automatic on my next daily-driving vehicle in 2020 or 2022. I still enjoy driving manual, overall, but know that I am probably getting too old for it now.

I'm not a fan of the two-tone color scheme, but I like the shade of red being used now. Very nice. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy your manual SE as much as I do mine. Do yourself a favor and add a TRD rear-sway-bar to it - it's a noticeable difference in handling/stability.

It sounding like adding one of these is worth the cost and effort. Where can you buy one and will it easily fit a Gen 3?

The 2007-2011 Yaris TRD rear-sway-bar is still a perfect fit for the 2015-2017 models. Fit like a charm on mine, no problems - probably because the 3rd gen Yaris is just a clever refresh of the 2nd Gen models, instead of an actual new design. The OEM Part # is PTR11-52071. Type that number into a search engine and you can find it for sale all over the place (even from sellers on Amazon).

Yup, if you're going to get any brace/bar, the rear sway bar is the one to get. You'll definitely feel the difference on an on/off-ramp.

I believe they used to be a vendor here.

Speaking of which, it's about time for some updated pics of that bad boy.

White line sells a rear sway bar that fits your model also.

I just put one on mine, it is great and adjustable.

Welcome to the unique club. I own the only 2007 Jade Sea Metallic S sedan. They didn't offer the S in Jade Sea Metallic at the time. I still get quizzical looks when I buy paint, but it matches the VIN. It also has a two tone sand/black interior which was also a mistake by the factory.

That's one nice car Kaotic, the more reason I changed my 12 Face to the French look.
