[Uglyboyed]

got mines a month ago and i cant stop driving already have 2000 miles.. I need to take a break.

[why?]

lol, that is great.

How is your gas mileage?

[Uglyboyed]

maybe like 36-38 mpg.. but i have a heavy foot so i know the reason why. took a while but i got it to go 110 on the freeway.. just once. im not a speeder but when i got it i wanted to test it out.

[why?]

Everyone has to go over 100 mph at least once in theire lives.

You got that right!

Hello everyone

New around Yaris World. I was at the Toyota Dealership getting my truck recall worked on when I asked a sales guy when the Yaris was coming. He told me not for a long time. Two months later and they are on the lots.

I went back two days ago and all my local dealer had was a sedan for a demo and another sedan in the showroom already sold. They are not expected to get LB's in for another 3 weeks. I think the Yaris is going to be a good little car for the MPG. I currenty have a Tacoma which sucks gas big time. Approx around 17MPG I will keep the truck for snow and bad weather since it is 4X4 and hopefully get the Yaris LB for a commuter car.

I have read thru the site and see it is very hard to get the LB in the options wanted. I will not settle even if I have to order one. I want the LB in the Blazing Blue color (is that the proper name?) loaded with the weather/convience/power package stick not auto!

I was considering the Mini Cooper but the price $$$ is way too much for what you get. The Yaris is Toyota's version of the Mini.... hahaha, for me anyways!


Okay, this first post is long enough I think

You bought my car. The silver liftback. Your gonna love it. I'm getting right at 38 miles to the gallon with only 800 miles on it now. Drives great. Is more peppy than I'd of imagined. YOur gonna love it.

Get used to people staring at you and the car. And folks will come up to you and ask about the yaris.

welcome, all!

for who have got theirs, grats on getting your rides.

for those waiting on their, it's worth the wait.

[why?]

LB options are tough, as is finding a LB at this moment. Give it a few more months though at it will not be a problem.

[bikergal]

Hi Why? Read my post under "what finance rate did you get?" You will see it is very very hard to get a LB right now in what I want

I refuse to order one till I can at least see one in person and test drive it.

[why?]

That is not a bad idea. Although testing a manual LB might be a bit of a problem at this time, sticking to what you want is a good thing.

Did you buy your tacoma at one of your nearby dealerships? If you go back to that salesperson, they might be able to help you order and find one to your liking, faster then you would doing it on your own.

The good thing is the majority of dealerships will let you pay a small deposit, and ordering a car does not mean you will buy it.

I am in contact with 3 dealerships each one in a different state. One of the dealerships out of the 3 is the place I bought my truck. They have no problem ordering what I want but I told him to hold off until I can test drive a stick. Right now to test drive a stick no matter what the options are in the car will be enough for me. I have only seen the sedan in person not the LB.

I don't want them to go thru the hassle of ordering it if I am not going to like/purchase it. I don't see why I wouldn't like it but I still want to see the car in person and test drive it first. My truck is sucking too much gas, on average around 17-20MPG...

Thanks for the input Why?

A test drive does make sense. I almost ordered a "Fit" during that pre-delivery hype of theirs, based on my familiarity with Hondas (I've owned several Acuras in a row). I'm glad I didn't, as now that I have had a chance to check out both, I much prefer the Yaris.

Hi all,

Great board!

I ordered my !BLAZING BLUE! Yaris Liftback with Power Package last week, sight unseen.

I did test drive a four-door S model but the Liftacks are impossible to find in my area (NE).

Anyway, it should be here 1st or 2nd week in June and I can't wait to take it for a spin and start modding (wheels, tach, etc.)

Congrats. Hope it comes sooner than expected.

Hello,
Just want to chime in that I just purchased a Yaris last Monday. I got off the plane from my vacation in Florida and headed straight to the dealer. It's my birthday gift to myself. I couldn't wait...birthday is still next week. So far it's already 350 miles and still at 1/2 tank (according to fuel gauge).

Hello everybody.

Brand new Silver Yaris in the streets of Europe.

Photos, feelings, facts, soon.

So far 150 km of fun with the Multi-Mode gearbox. Nice, sweet, soft... i will love to have a little more power but really, it's quite a good buy.

[moving forward]
