659cc engine?

This is no Justy. I had a 65 HP 1.2 liter straight 3 and it was very peppy. My favorite story: I was at a stoplight with two lanes. I was in the right lane which went straight when a young guy on a crotch rocket came up beside me in the left lane which was left turn only. I just knew he was going straight and figured my Justy would be no problem. Young guys on crotch rockets aren't that good. I raced motorcycles for years and knew more about what he was doing and he did. When the light turned green he got ahead of me. I wasn't even trying yet. He noticed I wasn't trying and didn't push it. I stayed in second gear and slowly left the revs buildup. When he up shifted I punched it. He realized what I was doing and punched it too but he wasn't in his rev band. I heard that waaa that a bike makes when you're dumping gas into it but your revs are too low to do anything with it. I walked away from him. Bet he was embarrassed.

Lord, yes. I absolutely adore the Justy. I kind of developed an affinity for being a tall guy in a little car from my dad - who was scooting around in a little Geo Metro for a few years before he gave it up for something bigger and more equipped to handle the New England winters.

heh this is funny... My wife still talks about her "little red Justy" she loved that car and really hated to have to let go of it, when she couldn't drive a manual any more... She loves our Yaris too, but luckily she doesn't have to drive it (it's a manual, the way God intended).

Hi I don't actually own a Yaris yet, I have an '86 and '87 Celica GT/GT-S replectively, a '98 Rav4, and an '01 Tundra. But my next car is most likely going to be a '07-'08 Yaris 3 door with 5 speed. I plan on daily driver/track car duties for it, maybe even a little Time Trial action with NASA Southeast. But for now just working on paying off the Rav, so I can buy the Yaris and really join the fun!!

I thought you were going to say this is the box your Yaris was delivered in...

It would be rather interesting if it was. That's a rather large box....

Just got my Yaris a week ago. Finally retiring the well built Landcruiser from daily driver status.
5spd stick 3 door. Great car so far. I enjoy driving it. I've been a Toyota driver for a long time and the Yaris was my top choice for daily driver. I was also looking at the Scion XD, but found a 2010 Yaris with 11k miles and the price was right.
The gas $$ savings alone covers more than 1/2 my payment.

The 5 door in BLAZING BLUE looks just as sharp as the 3 door . We were very close to getting that one , but was difficult to find it in that color so went with the B.B. 3 door . The 2008 sedan in Barcelona Red sits behind it .

New 2010 5 Dr automatic owner here. Lost my job in January and the Expedition I was driving, with my ex-employer paying for the gas just wasn't cutting it. Needed a smaller payment and ended up at Toyota dealer looking at the used cars. Drove a Camry w/ 53,000 mi on it and then drove this Yaris with 2300 mi on it. Expecting a slow slug, I was surprised and tickled at the pickup. Needed more legroom in front, so took out the rear seat and made a level platform. Then fabricated four 1/2" x 2" x 16" long bars and moved the front seats back 3 1/4 inches. Now, lots of room for me and stuff.

Wow, how tall are you? I've took a few new dealership cars out to get similar seat brackets made. One was an Avalon, those already have a lot of leg room.

Hey everyone =D
I am Robbie, I come from Queensland, Australia and am a young driver/yaris owner. I am 19 years old and I got my first brand new 2010 Toyota Yaris YR 5 door HB (Auto) on December 29th 2010. It's metallic "blazing" blue in color and no current mods done to it yet.. but I do look forward to trying so mods out. This is my 2nd car that I have owned since getting my license, my first car was just a bomb (97 ford festiva HB). I was very happy to trade in my ford when I got the yaris on a Toyota loan. I am really impressed with the fuel consumption/savings on with my yaris, and so far just love my car so much and just love the feeling of having a brand new car :)

I'll gets some photos up soon.

John from Dallas, Texas. Soon to be 40 years old.

It came time to replace the 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage. After thorough research I was shocked to learn my dream car was a Yaris. 6 days for me with my 2009 3 door, silver. I really love this car.
