They were not actually supposed to sell the S model for 2007 in the color. It was a mistake at the factory however it does match the VIN...kind of wild.

I like the yellow....lots of potential if you do a few mods, and they don't have to be expensive ones either. Def start out with tint. Makes life much better all the way around.

I wanted a silver Yaris, but it took me seconds to decide I love the Absolutely Red on a Yaris.

I honestly think the Yaris LB looks great in any color, especially bright colors, because it's small (well relatively small) and has a whimsical look.

I agree with you on the bright colors. I've been poking about on the site here and found pics of a cool orange Yaris (which I like as well), but I didn't see that color on any of the dealer lots here...must be a pretty scarce hue.

The orange was only available in Canada, and I think for a short time. It's Copper Orange Mica I believe.

06-08 in canada...

i wish we got the jolt yellow up here....or the carmine red

i see plenty of all colours of yaris up here (lots and lots of 5drs) so its hard to say whether there's actually a rare colour, other than orange (which, btw, is not that impressive looking in real-life)

would have been nice to get some of the updated colours north of the border to freshen up the yaris line a bit...

ryank and thebarber, thanks for clearing that up. That would explain why I haven't seen any here in New Jersey. Seems like a very attractive color, but then I am quite partial to orange.

PreciousPups4U - thank you...this was the only yellow car between two Toyota dealers. I suppose that does make it unique - although I was hoping to fly under the radar with black. I am surprised they don't make the Yaris available in Speedway Blue (Tacos come in this hue) - these cars would look quite comely in that color!

The Road Runner is my never-ending project car and I've owned it since I was 21. It's a Sunfire Yellow 4-speed convertible with a black top and black interior. I've been a Mopar fanatic since I was a teenager (I am speaking of classic stuff here, not Neons and Calibers). Suffice to say, it's mileage is a bit lower than the Yaris'

. But, it's a bit faster.

Okay, I snapped a pic this morning before driving to work. I apologize in advance for the bug splatter showing on the front bumper.

And it matches the license plate perfectly. That was the plan, right?

Of course! That was my strategy from the beginning!!

*Astroman* · 07-03-2009, 10:55 AM

Welcome! I've got 2 Yarii, an '07 auto (meteorite metallic) and an '09 manual (carmine red metallic). Even with my modifications and normal driving style I can pull 35mpg without trying in the auto, and over 40mpg in the manual (which is stock). If you'd be interested I have some yellow yarisworld.com vinyl decals (or other colors) available.

On a side note, the stupid dealer where I got my '09 from just screwed the front plate to the car, they didn't bother using the adapter, so now it points up at an angle

PreciousPups4U · 07-01-2009, 07:00 PM

Does not seem to be many available in yellow. Of course it is a new color for 2009 and maybe they are testing the waters to see how the color goes before making a bunch of them. At least it makes you unique. That's one of the reasons I went with Bayou Blue, I have only seen one other of those around here.

My daughter would love the Road Runner. She's a muscle car fan. The RR and the Chargers are her favorites.

Bright colors on this little car look wonderful.

They make a statement. I would have gotten a bright color too if it was immediately available, but was not.

Good luck with your car as the more you drive it, the more you will like it !

Thank you for the kind words! Actually, I probably would not have gotten such a bright color, but it was the only one immediately available

! Although, I am getting used to it. One thing I love about the car already is the super gas mileage!

Treyz · 07-03-2009, 10:07 AM

A Yellow Jolt in NJ?????!!!!!

Gotta be South Jersey or did you build one onlined and have it delivered? Haven't seen one up here due to the fact that Yellow isn't as popular up north than it is down south. I would have chosen it, but it's too flat of a color for me, not like what's pictured in the brochure.

Welcome BTW!

Also, if you don't mind driving, you should come to the Rockland Toyota/Scion show on the 19th. Near the border of Northern Jersey by the Palisades Mall. I personally would love to see it up close (closest I saw was at a dealer in FL by the gas station I was at filling up).

Hello and yes, I am in South Jersey. The car was dealer stock and a demo with 3600 miles on it, they (supposedly) used it to transport people home that were having service work performed in the shop. It was the only yellow vehicle on the lot and this is the only yellow Yaris that I've personally seen to this point. If I'd had my choice, I probably would have went with blue, but it certainly is growing on me.

Thanks for the welcome, and ROCKLAND TOYOTA (the forum member) invited me to the Summer Slam show on July 19. Not sure I can make it yet but I would sure like to attend. How many Yarises will be there I wonder?

Cool! Thanks for link. I'll subscribe to that thread...

Blayde · 07-04-2009, 10:58 AM

I just bought a 2009 Yaris, 3 door, last week, I love it but it is so quiet that I am having a hard time finding the optimal shift points for the manual transmission. I don't have a tach, any suggestions for propper shift speeds? I am getting 35-38 mpg just driving around town and out to my farm. I bought the Yaris because I had a Toyota Starlet that I really loved, the Yaris is quite a leap from the Starlet.
