Ask and ye shall...um, get.
Here, per request, are some interior shots of the little Yaris. Behold, it's hatchness! It's no Audi A6, but this is still a very inviting interior--and I love spending time here. The seat bolstering is very firm, but not hard. You don't slide around in u-turns, you are planted in the bucket seat firmly. The seats are firm, but still comfortable. Only Mercedes does this better, based on my limited seat-time in them. The steering wheel is very chunky, and feels "just right" in your hands. There are very small, subtle "finger grab grooves" (?) for your fingers, and turn-in is outstanding in this class. The stalk controls/turn signals/lights/wipers have slight index finger indentations that just fit perfectly, and allow effortless leverage when you twist them (lights on left, wiper spray on right). The gearbox is only 4-5 inches from the steering wheel base, so rapid shifts are there for the taking--if you want to do so. Again, the "new" has started to wear off, but I am still very pleased. The Yaris is still a great place to spend a few hours driving, listening to MP3s (thumb-drive in the glovebox), and just enjoying yourself. This thing is a huge improvement over the gen 2 car. I'm so happy I bought one! |

What VLT rating is that? 20%? I have the darkest legal tint in my state, 33%, and it's lighter than that. Would have prefered something like yours. Looks awesome with the graphite paint.

Very nice look. I had a 5% VLT rating on one car but I kept getting tickets so I broke down and removed it from the side front windows. It was difficult to see through at night while turning.

thank you its a habit, considering i own a high HP evo and a very nicely done up honda del sol. i tend to hide the plate number because i dont want anybody trying to come and scope out my ride and it become missing lol not to say there are any yaris thieves but as i said just a habit.
its a 15% tint, its considering an "illegal" tint. i have that same percentage tint on all 3 of my cars. its dark but definetly nowhere near a limo tint.

I'm jealous that you're able to tint the front side windows at all!

Off topic, but are you familiar with Invivcta watches? They are based in Hollywood. Just wondering. Besides a YARIS guy,I'm also quite fond of watches
Threadjack over....

Thanks
Alloys are standard (local XS and XR - like mine - spec), but the leather I had done after market for around $600. Stitching matches the steering wheel and hand brake's. Last edited by JayGee; 02-14-2012 at 06:41 AM. |

, Great color for the 3 door . Is that a 1.3 ltr. or the 1.5 ltr. engine ? What weight oil is on the oil cap / stated in the owners manual ? Alloys do wonders . Thanks and enjoy .
