Guys they've been on showroom floors in Canada since October 17th. Not only did they get them earlier, but they can be configured with more stuff (and doors) than we will get.
Yaris replaces the Echo Hatch which U.S. also didn't see. The thinking is that since they don't get Scions, the Yaris fills that market segment instead.

Any idea when the yaris will really get to the usa. I've phoned several dealerships in the northwest and i get a different answer each time. Basically sounds like they don't really know anything.

I've gotten the same runaround. Third week/last week of March was last I heard, but they really had no clue.

Let us know what you think of it. i'm jealous of course. Come on toyota start sending them out to the dealerships in the usa.

LAHAL · 03-12-2006, 04:21 AM

so i picked up my car, and i got to say..... Its WICKED, what a good little car. Great handling, alot of looks for people. Talked to a guy from Country Hill Toyota in calgary, at the auto show, and he told me that i should re-think getting 18 inch rims cause your gonna have to sacrifice on the tire, and its not a good thing to do in calgary, with all the pot holes. So he recommended going with 17, and that they have packages at the dealership, going from around 1000 to 1600 dollars, including installation, and it wouldn't void the warrenty.

Is it easy to handle. And how peppy is it. Another question. How does it handle going 70+ miles an hour on the highway. thanks, envious in montana.

LAHAL · 03-12-2006, 03:32 PM

Handles great, its actually pretty funny, i was on the highway passing cars, and i couldn't figure out why everyone was going so slow, then i looked at the speedometer, and i was doing 140kph, lol, my bad, had to slow down. didn' even realize i was going that fast.

LAHAL · 03-13-2006, 01:53 AM

hey guys, i picked up my yaris on saturday morning, and realized later that the windows weren't tinted, and the brochure says tinted glass. Wondering if anyone else got a yaris with tinted window, or if its a dealership installation that they have to do.

By tinted glass it means the light greenish tint on the windows, not the aftermarket tint.

Hey LAHAL...I went to the auto show too; did you see the huge crowd around the copper Yaris RS there? I could hardly get near it! That was the first time I saw an actual RS with the B package and I'm now even more excited about delivery...I can't wait!!!! Hope you had a good time at the show. Probably had a better time driving the new car!

St.Francis · 03-14-2006, 07:10 PM

LAHAL & Mad Munchkin you need to post some pics please.

Mad Munchkin · 03-14-2006, 08:26 PM

Start cursing me now, it's ok. I never took any pics; way too crowded! Many people I walked past were trying (and swearing) to but to get back far enough from any car to take a decent picture meant there was about 20 people in front of you trying to see the cars. One thing I did notice was that the various cars in the compact and sub-compact classes (Fit, smartfortwo, Mini, YARIS) were drawing way more attention than the luxury ones! Good to see. The mini, Yaris and smart were drawing, by FAR, the largest line-ups, though.

LAHAL · 03-15-2006, 12:09 AM

Hey Mad Munchkin, did you sit in the Honda Fit?, i gotta say, i didn't like the fit at all, i felt like if i pushed it from the side, it was gonna flip over. LOL.

I will post pics soon, i work in the printing industry and its annual report time, so i'm very busy, but pics are coming. fear not.

I had toyota install a 2-Way Remote Car Starter and Security, so not to void any warrenties. I didn't even know they offered it, but they did, so i just added the cost to my financial payments.

Never sat in the Fit...did see it and didn't like exterior nearly as much as the Yaris. Auto show was an adventure since I had family in and my 3-yr old niece was glued to my side! She preferred the minivans mostly but did give a big nod to the Yaris when I told her 'auntie' just ordered one!

I asked at Country Hills about security system availability for mine when I ordered and he said they were still 'ironing' out some wrinkles of what would work with the stereo, keyless etc. but would let me know. Assuming yours is a dealership add-on, did you order it when you paid your deposit or after? And can I ask how much?
