Are you buying something like this?

Then click the 5-Door RS to the left hand side under Model.
Looks like the Yaris S package of 09.

It's basically the samething, they just changed the name from Sport (S) to Rally Sport (RS). The S or RS is usually bought by the younger buyers. Toyota stuck the word "Rally" in front of it to make it more appealing to the young folks and to increase the size of their wallets.

lol, true. but the order is wrong...RS was first...they adopted the S for the states...

however, in the echo hatchbacks, the RS was 10x hotter than the base. black interior, waaay nicer seats, leather wheel and knob, chrome accents, aluminum rims, side skirts, spoiler....was worth the dough not to have to ride in the base echo hatch

yaris RS, less so

Well I live in the STATES. So when I post I am only talking about the US Yaris. The S was the FIRST in the States. The RS or S is a cosmetic car. If you want to feel like you are driving a BMW or want to think your Yaris has more HP than the other 98% Yaris's on the road then go ahead and buy the S, or the RS, or the $$$$ for Toyota's Wallet.

LMFAO....this is gonna sound bad but agreed.

but still, look at it this way, i'm a teen and thats as tricked out (riced out if u like) that i coudl really care for. yes u could get the 3dr base line yaris pay nothing to toyota and come home and do everything yourself. but the time you will spend finding parts and a body kit and the rims (toyota rims which i am quite happy with....for now) it will cost u close to the same if not more. all the extra little trims for make it feel a bit higher class then it is. sure, but this is gonna be my car for 10years at least..... it has to be 5dr(or insurance will have their way with me) and it has to look cool. dont get me wrong, yes a 1.8 turbo would be sick, but it wouldn't cost 22,500.

And FYI it will have more HP the 98% of the other yaris's and thats cuz i'm driving and i've got my pully kit and intake all lined up for summer. jsut another thought, hasn't been proven but i could see the RS being more aero dynamic... jsut a thought

either way, someone is gonna get ure money... the salesmen i delt with, yes, i felt liek i was getting fucked around at the beginning but really, it wasn't his fault it took so long and he did give me a car to drive around while i was waiting. i feel i got a good price on the top end yaris and i have been told by many other dealerships they coundn't beat my price and unless i had that price on paper, they doubted the dealer would even follow through with it.

You will need that extra HP in order to be able to pull all of that extra weight from the S package. Why do you have to have a 5dr for insurance?
