watabout a 'import' Toyota Chaser... hmmm

I suppose the one advantage of the higher power band is that you can short shift (<2500rpm) your daily driving for the best fuel economy, then shred it when you need power.
It's interesting that you mentioned it jaspie. It's a good $20 000 above what most of our budgets are here with Yarii.

Although I'd definitely consider one when I actually have a stable income and my own place.

EDIT: Gorgeous...

cabs don't use presara, they may use AT-X I think
never saw a "aurion cab in WA" anyway

Presara is totally different IMO

and taxis don't get black pimped out ones

Edd · 08-15-2007, 01:59 AM

lol, aren't taxis usually ford flatcons and holden commonwhores? If you're lucky they might be a corolla/camry though...

Speedz · 08-15-2007, 03:53 AM

In brisbane... we have Avalons, Aurion, Honda Odyssey (current updated model) & Tarago for taxis in their respective class...

Other than that yeah Falcons & Dores are the norm...

ASHRAF · 08-15-2007, 09:27 AM

cool

can I work as a taxi driver in Bris.

Speedz · 08-15-2007, 09:35 AM

Sure can... they constantly looking for taxi drivers and here is much safer than Sydney or Melbourne... lol

But seriously i was disappointed when i saw a Aurion taxi even though its a base model AT-X, and was kinda surprised when i saw a Odyssey 'mini cab' with 'that' row of led tail lights...

Cheers

firez3r0 · 08-15-2007, 10:30 AM

hey .. someone should drive a 5dr hatch and be a taxi driver ... and paint the taxi in yellow.wow ... cool

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 11:28 AM

lol this thread has gotten very offtopic

I paid 18800 for mine
YRS 3dr Manual in black with
mats
tint
scuff guard and safety pack

saving of around 2500$

cant wait for it to come! 5 more days! and its almost been 3 months :(

Speedz · 08-25-2007, 09:21 PM

yeah the safety pack sets you back for the wait... but u cant go wrong with 7 airbags...!!!

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 09:37 PM

yea its worth the wait for a superior product... my friend was begging me to get the new Mazda 2 when it comes out but i hope to god its not as good as the Yaris so i wont look like an impatient idiot
hah

firez3r0 · 08-25-2007, 10:25 PM

mine was a different case, the dealer told me the 7 airbag was the only one they have for the silver yrs sedan so i took the option but somehow the person didn;t charge me for that w/o the consent of the manager. haha but i guess i got totally ripped off for paying 22300 for a yrs sedan AT w 7 airbag and a tint and mat.

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 10:46 PM

well if you got the same discount i did you'ld have paid around 21200 so for that price u have got it would have been about 1500 off RRP. i reckon the yaris is a tad expensive for what you get. but i guess itll come handy at the other end when you sell it as itll hold a lot more of its value than the other competition :)

YRX26C · 08-26-2007, 07:14 AM

Hi, how are we all? yes i am a new member of this website and definately from sydney australia and a proud female owner.

I got a white 5 dr YRX in auto, which i paid 26k for it comes standard body kit, rear spoiler, floormats and what ever the standard YRX got, I ask them not to tint my car... so tinting not included

And on top of that i've already spend $1500 on a 17" bronze rims with 6 spokes with a little dish, $220 for 20% tint all round, $1000 to lower the car 2inches all round with YEIN coilovers. Next assignment will be the scissor doors, XENON lights, eye Lids and carbon fibre bonnet and MIGHT consider in re-trimming the seats and side doors in black and white leather, which wil be completed by the end of the year,

System inside i left it as it is.

Thanks!!!

firez3r0 · 08-26-2007, 08:03 AM

hey YRX26C im definitely gonna visit you when u got the things done !! looks like an awesome project u have got there. im quite fascinated by the scissor doors... should look quite cool i suppose !!

my car shall remain as it is for quite a while until i got some decent sum of money to do some cosmetics on it.
