Calling SBoy and Barumbado... of Riyadh! Just to let you know that there is an accessory shop in Batha (actually that car accessories road back of Batha) with a Kabayan installer - he installs accessories for our Yarises (Yarii?), like power door locks/keyless entry/power windows/fog lamps... etc.

Hi! It's nice to know you Mr. Ashraf. My decision on a Yaris is purely on looks and price... a look of a Camry and a market price of an Echo... a "baby Camry"... someone in this forum fondly called our Yaris.

gas is cheap but 120kph is the max

Keep up the good work guys, hope to see some nice pics of ur rides as well

Well... still the summer heat is on but my Yaris muscles its way through that high summer temperatures everyday without qualms. My only concern with my Jade Sea Met base sedan is the lack of a cabin air filter. I have to fashion out a DIY filter tray and used a readily available foam type room A/C filter as the filter medium. I have selected this material for its higher dust retention level & better air intake
