Yello. Been already posting. Waiting for my Blazing Blue Hatch. 2 Months and counting :(
However I KNOW the car will worth the wait :D.
Anyway, just chiming in to the great Yarii community :P

Welcome TrancosRT! When you have your Yaris, please compare it with your current car - the Prizm, which I know is a Corolla under a GM Brand name. I hope to see your findings.

We just received the 4 door 5 speed Yaris in red with power package. If interested, call me at 717-213-3464. The price is $14,565.

My name is Marianne and I manage internet.

I Sure will... I already know it's a lil bit like night and day. Test drove the Sedan Auto and a HB stick and both drove far better than the Prizm. The steering was far more responsive and I liked the driving position better, besides being more silent!

Thanks for the response, TrancosRt! Your positive comments on the Yaris are music to my ears!

I finally got my Blazing Blue Yaris yesterday. I love it. It was deffinately the best buy I could have made. I love the little hidden features like the storage bins next to the spare tire...the extra compartment above the steering wheel...and so on. This car never ceases to amaze me the more i look at it.

Sounds good. Remember you'll be in the break in period. So just don't drive it too hard at first.

Chaad32 · 07-22-2006, 01:10 PM

how long is the break in period anyways

swng · 07-22-2006, 01:24 PM

According to what are said on Page 178 of my 06 Canadian HB's manual, the car does not need an elaborate break-in. Nevertheless, the manual does provide some tips on what to do during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) to help improve the future economoy and longevity of the car.

It may vary between cars, but the usual or general rule of thumb is about 1K, it should say in the manual. Hope that helps and congrats!!

Just checking in, got my flint mica, fully loaded sedan model yesterday.

Does this mean I should keep it below a certain MPH?

TRD_Yaris · 07-24-2006, 12:32 AM

hi! I got my Yaris Liftback (5 speed manual) and I'm pretty happy with it, so far. I'm mad that it doesn't have a tachometer, and the gearing is too short, atleast 5th should be way longer. I'm also annoyed I couldn't get my manual transmission liftback with the power package, even moreso that the Scion xA is a 5door (instead of 3 door USDM liftback) AND has PW,PL,PM,cruise,ABS, Pioneer CD/MP3/6speaker, etc.etc. STANDARD for only $1105 more than a base model Yaris :( but, it's a nice car.
The Yaris is my 4th car, I have a bunch of other project cars that I abuse at will. The Yaris is sacred, for now atleast.

Owner's Manual says 1000 miles (1600km) break in period. Don't keep the car at one speed for too long. Keep below 4000rpm (approximately). It's also nice to let the engine warm up before driving off (atleast let the blue "COOL" light turn off).

If you're gonna swap over to synthetic fluids, don't do it until 10,000 miles (16,000 km).

Just noticed Ralira has become the 1,000th member. Congratulations to Ralira and to Yarisworld!
