That has to be the sharpest 3-door I have seen on YW thus far. I bow to your excellent taste. |

Oil is SAE 0W-20 - I hope this is the infor you want. Nothing written on the oil cap on the engine though. |

He was born in France and landed in Durban, South Africa locally. Around 5500 miles, I guess. No idea how long it would take. Hope he didn't throw up on the boat . I probably would've. I am yet to get my sea legs.
Another 400 miles from Durban via truck to the dealership where I bought it. I had to wait a week and a half after placing the order to get it. It was already in Durban when I placed the order though, plus it took three days to fit the leather, window tinting and to do the PDI. |

Yeah, performance can best be described as almost adequate .
In all seriousness, for me it's not that bad, considering it has less than a 6th of the engine capacity of my weekend toy! It's fine for a daily commute in the city, where a sports car won't get you to work any quicker, just with a bigger fuel bill. It will eventually live at my holiday home at the coast, where performance will be slightly better. I am used to renting sub 1.0 cars when away on holidays anyway. |

It's the internet. We don't know who you are, you can be honest. You're in the mafia, right? What's a "hit" like, man? Is the 1.0 Yaris a good getaway car? |

I'm in the accounting profession. So boring, I almost fell asleep just writing this.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend the 1.0 as a (fast) getaway car... Not if you are trying to get away from anyone other than on foot, horse or scooter. The trunk is rather on the cramped side for mafia purposes anyway. No offense to any "Dexters" out there who do use their Yaris for recreational () purposes though. Anyway, enough of the thread hijack. Why so few pictures in a pictures thread |

Hats off to you. I think the lack of pics is because the 2012s are just now starting to land in real numbers. Give it time. More Yaris owners will find this site and contribute. |

I like the dual climate control. Mine only comes with single CC. Does your XR have the "secret hidden floor" in the boot?

Mine was AU$21k, equivalent to US$22550. Worth it for all the extras, imho.

I love the European idea of small, well-built, yet still well-equipped small cars. You can get a glass roof on the Yaris in the EU! I would love a glass roof! What secret storage area in the boot? It's raining outside right now, so I can't check it. |

There is a false floor that gives about 10-15cm of extra room above the real floor above the spare tire. I keep an umbrella, a multimeter, hi-vis vests and some tools in there so it doesn't look cluttered.

It's bizarrely called Bubblegum Metallic locally.
I've seen somewhere else on a website (UK maybe), it's called Deep Aqua. Same code (788) though. I've only seen 2 others in that colour so far and one is still on the showroom floor. That said, the gen 3's are still very scarce locally. The gen 2 was very popular locally. You literally see at least one in almost every parking lot in the city! I'm hoping the gen 3 will be too. I plan to keep mine for about 1 1/2 - 2 years and I'm hoping for a good resale price. That was one of the main reasons for getting it over the competition's offerings, which are good. The Rio beats it hands down for value for money locally. Kia still doesn't have a great reputation, and as a result resale, locally though. And man, does their pre-sales service suck. |
