2010 Yaris RS Rare?

[thebarber]

RS is as with the newer models, the 5dr LE's can come REALLY loaded....only differences between a loaded LE and an RS are the body kit/spoiler, rims, interior colours....

that, and the RS at $19-20k is a hard sell when a corolla or matrix is up around there

The RS is fully loaded. Funny thing about the LE upgrade packages. By the time you pick a couple of them, it costs more or as much as the RS with less in it. I originally didn't want to power windows but it would of cost me more money to not have that option.

I was in the market for a fuel efficient, fun to drive, and reliable car. My main car was a done up 92 GT4 RC, now its my summer car. My GT4 costs anywhere from $1000 to $4000 a month in parts to drive it full time. If you buy one of those imports from Japan and put more than 30000km a year on it, or go from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds in it. Then make sure you have a fat wallet to keep it going. I don't have the cash to drive my other car year round so I had been looking for something reliable since last summer.

I was going to buy a Matrix AWD, but they only come in automatic here, sooo no thanks. I can't stand auto's and I live in the rocky mountains, it's good times when your driving up an icy hill and your auto. trans. decides to pop into another gear and send you fish tailing.

I didn't like the looks of anything Toyota has made 2000+ until I came across a dealership special edition 09 Yaris RS in Calgary AB. (Country Hills Showroom, its probably still there.) I was sold on that Yaris as soon as I saw it. $31000 for the car. Now, I could of got a Corolla or Matrix loaded for that, but man that car looks sweet.

So with a 31k budget in mind I went back to B.C. to a local dealer and had them price out a similar package for me. Major difference with what I'm getting compared to that show room car is that all of my parts are TRD, and I got O-Z WRC rims, oh and mine will be a 2010 not an 09.

So I'm pretty excited to get the car, I just don't understand why Toyota would advertise a car for sale, when there isn't a single one across the entire country on a lot. Pointless?

Umm, yeah, I'd say proper winters would be necessitated.

@OP - they do exist, and you will get it...eventually. Just have to wait it out.

I have an LE. It has everything, fully loaded. Power everything and cruise and fogs too. No body kit, which I hated and no rims which are too heavy. Gas mileage went to shit with the RS wheels on my car. (9 pounds heavier each wheel) I lowered mine and tinted my glass, good to go! I just don't have the dark interior, which I don't mind because my Supra has shadow Grey in it, so nice change.

Mine was a little less than the RS and it wasn't that different than the two.

Oh, mine also has adjustable intermittent wipers, yours doesn't, that is a fact. :D
