NEWBIE WANTS TO BUY A YARIS please advise

[thebarber]

reliability is above average

cost to own is low....generally just oil and gas

auto is fine, but its slow

i have intake, header and a resonator-back exhaust and get about 7L/100km all-city (about 34mpg) with my 5spd and 205 wide tires

13" wheels will bolt up, but if you have 13" steelies from a civic, they likely won't work and they'll rub the caliper. you can run 13's but often need a wide wheel

intake and res-back exhaust (no header) netted me 106whp and 107wtq. i recommend those mods, but get the exhaust replaced from the back of the resonator as that is where it shrinks from 2" to 1.75". i felt MINIMAL top-end gains with an axle-back only.

i have drilled/slotted rotors and like the, but have agressive pads so they squeal. the car is very light so even oem brakes are pretty good, really.

i recommed at least lowering springs too, as itll cut the body roll and make the car look better.....i like the trd's, personally
