test driving 07 yaris on Sun, quick questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

my2sense · 08-25-2012, 06:30 PM

I just drove from Vancouver to Calgary in my 2007 RS 4dr and found it to be very comfortable. I have Tokico blues, M2 springs, 23mm rear torsion bar, and front strut bar and thought that they would make for a harsh ride but glad I was wrong. Handling was great too with these parts.

I know that the non-RS have different seats so I'm not sure if it would be as comfortable if you're looking at a non-RS Yaris.

Sigh. I wish Toyota had seen to it that the RS = U.S. availability.

Does this mean that there are no RS models in the US ?? If that is true . . this is something I didn't know. I have a 2007 RS 3 DR, and I love it as I have all the good features. (Love the power locks and power windows) The only thing that I wish my Yaris had was the immobilizer. Oh well .. can't have everything.

I don't know what all the RS has, all I know is that my car has pretty much everything that I want in a car. I really don't care much for some things like bluetooth, usb and cruise control (even though I have cruise control .. I just don't like using it as I feel that it gives me less control over the car).

The three drive-related advantages of the RS trim for me are:
1) Firmer, more supportive bucket seats
2) Thicker leather wrapped steering wheel
3) 15" alloy wheels instead of the standard 14" steelies

OP: So what happened? How did the test drive go?

OP looks like another register, make a post, then vanish forever type of guy.
