Got my 3-door manual liftback - Toyota Yaris Forums

rtom · 12-24-2009, 08:53 AM

Got tired of sitting on the fence & bought a carmine metallic LB with convenience package and all weather guard yesterday.

Next items: floor mats and AUX cable to iPod.

Oh yes, and need to sell my '97 Geo Metro now... or maybe after gas spikes to $4/gallon again.

Very nice and well done.

You'll be happy with your Yaris.

Congratulations and merry xmas to you! ;)

Good choice !

the cable is easy to get, just go to Radio shack and tell them what you need.

YAY what an awesome christmas gift :)

dont get a cord longer than what you need.... for some reason I got a really long cord (I guess thats all they had) and now it gets in the way and gets wrapped around my shifter all the time, lol dangerousss.

Great Christmas present for yourself! Post some pix when you can!

Congrats on kicking off Xmas and New Year right!

BTW, you can get a 3' Aux cable at Best Buy for $10.

YAR1S, I got the 6' cable also. Just keep most of it coiled around the shifter and it won't get in your way.

If you haven't heard of it, you can try selling it at www.teamswift.net
on the forums. Only thing is, you have to join (for free) to post.
Just a thought.

I was thinking about that carmine red metallic, as it looked good in the pics
online. However, in person, it just didn't grab me like the meteorite
metallic did.

grats on the car :) Which dealer did you end up with? Good to have another person from CT getting a yaris! Start modding!

I sorta wish mine was magenta-coloured :)

DandiDani · 12-27-2009, 03:17 PM

me too

Nice Buy welcome!!!

I'll take some pics over the holiday weekend.

The carmine metallic shows salt a little more prominently than I prefer, but I love it so far!

Definitely a good fit for me.

Has anybody with the manual transmission had the friction point of their clutch adjusted? I'm thinking about having mine raised (I have short legs).

Had a good chance to feel the wind blowing me around the other day. This car is a LOT taller than the Geo, and only slightly heavier.
