My new Yaris
Just wanted to share an image of my new Yaris. U.K. spec. Icon + 1.33vvti petrol Multidrive automatic. Quite a few "toys" etc. as supplied. It's a pre-registered car and only had 8 miles on the clock. I don't know if dealers have a similar thing elsewhere. But they buy the car from Toyota and register it to adhere to their monthly quota!
I personally think it's fine as is, so no add ons or changes necessary.
It replaces a Mk2 Yaris Diesel. Multi Mode Transmission (automated clutch)

Why'd you sell the diesel? Was it any good?

Yes, an excellent 1.4 litre engine. It was achieving 60+ miles per (Imperial) gallon.
My circumstances changed though and my driving is now mostly urban with no decent runs to help clear out the Diesel Particulate Filter(DPF). My concern was that this would eventually fail and lead to an expensive bill!
Also the Multimode transmission (automated clutch and gearchange) is very expensive to "fix" if anything goes wrong after warranty period.
Plus I was able to get a very good deal for a virtually new car.
The new car has What Toyota call Multidrive S - a fancy name for CVT but with an added feature of manual mode, gear changes controlled by either steering wheel paddles or the shift lever. No doubt very expensive to fix post warranty too!
I too find it strange that you seem to get a "scaled down" version in the U.S. with regards specification.

don't you do the DPF blockage DIY trick? In our country the diesel ones do this trick by putting a thin plate to prevent Diesel recirculation, leading to higher consumption (of course, with no unburned fuel being reburned) but leads to cleaner emissions.

It is beautiful...! Congrats! I love the dashboard on mine, love the whole car, I am so hooked on this car! I would love to see one of these (Yaris) with a diesel. Last diesel I drove was a Diesel Chevette! They had a little Izusu diesel in them, a 1.8 I believe. All the ones I drove were brand new at a dealership, I liked them, 'cause they were new and different and it sounded like a truck let you were driving a Chevette, LOL. The U.S. always gets the watered-down version of everything out there

I how much diesel was going for back then, but the diesel Chevette was pretty neat to cruise around in, if only around the dealership & frontage road and whatnot. Gosh I do miss those wild 80s, what a decade!

I agree. Brick House was from the 70s, but people were definitely still putting it on party tapes and CDs in the 80s.

Yes, brick phones were 80s definitely, they are actually in demand from what I've heard...

Thanks Kar, I know it was pretty cheap until the turn of the century
